My kids like to watch My Little Pony. Can't believe how long it has been around.
I know right? I also can't believe that some grown men are into a girls show and toy line.
Well those ponies are pretty cute. Rainbow Dash is sparkly as well.
That's true, though their appearances have really changed since they were first made in 1981.
That's when I was born, lol. I remember they were big during the 80's. Now there is much more competition in the toy aisles.

The fact that they have been around since the 17th century.
Oh, I see. I feel like American cafes are a newer thing. What kind of food do Parisian cafes serve? The same kind of food as a regular one? Coffee, small sandwiches, etc
Well all other cafes in the world stem from the Parisian cafe. So they mimic, generally what a cafe sells. Large cup of coffee and also wine and beer.
I see. Odd to think about a cafe selling wine and beer. Are alcohol laws a lot more loose in Paris?
Well its odd because you accustom cafes to what you see them as. But in the French cafes its a norm.

Cheese
Cheese is a dairy product derived from milk that is produced in a wide range of flavors, textures, and forms by coagulation of the milk protein casein. It comprises proteins and fat from milk, usually the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, or sheep. During production, the milk is usually acidified, and adding the enzyme rennet causes coagulation. The solids are separated and pressed into final form. Some cheeses have molds on the rind, the outer layer, or throughout. Most cheeses melt at cooking

Do you know anyone who was homeschooled? It is the practice of educating children inside the home.
I know a few people. From my experience they aren't as smart as kids that went to regular schools.
I see. Many families prefer a less formal way of educating. They also like to have control over all aspects of their child's schooling.
I understand those aspects of it, but not many parents have the education required to teach their children properly.
That is true. In some nations, homeschooling is illegal or restricted to certain conditions.

Blue is one of the three primary colours of pigments in painting and traditional colour theory, as well as in the RGB colour model. It lies between violet and green on the spectrum of visible light. The eye perceives blue when observing light with a dominant wavelength between approximately 450 and 495 nanometres. Most blues contain a slight mixture of other colours; azure contains some green, while ultramarine contains some violet. The clear daytime sky and the deep sea appear blue because of an optical effect known as Rayleigh scattering.

Evolution is change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. These characteristics are the expressions of genes that are passed on from parent to offspring during reproduction. Different characteristics tend to exist within any given population as a result of mutation, genetic recombination and other sources of genetic variation. Evolution occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection (including sexual selection) and genetic drift act on this variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more common or rare within a population.

Both pencils and chalk exist in variants which can create marks in other colors, but colored pencils and colored chalk are generally considered to be art supplies rather than writing instruments. Similarly, although very young children may use colorful wax crayons to write words into their pictures, writing is not considered to be the primary use of crayons.

Wow, what type of work do you do for the Navy? Do you work on the ships?

I like to play Ultimate in the park with my buddies. What do you do for fun?
I sing karaoke and go camping. Sometimes go to concerts and hang out with friends.
Okay, so your go-to karaoke song is....? What "instrumental version of a recording" do you like to lend your vocals to?!
My go to Karaoke song is Fancy by Reba and it has to be the actual studio or radio version. I don't like the karaoke music that sounds so cheap and fake.
I LOVE that. And I LOVE the fact it's Reba. Can you believe her first album was back in 1977?!
I can! I grew up listening to her. She has done so much. I loved her show Reba when it was on.

With this record, I wanted to give my first instincts a chance without shooting them down immediately, which I sometimes do. Songs like "Song For Richard Collopy" and "Not Much Rhymes With Everything's Awesome All the Time" were very impulsive, even my engineers were looking at me like, "What

Heavy metal music
Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom. With roots in blues rock, psychedelic rock, and acid rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness.
