In his defense, this was just a phase. My brother, John, has now moved on into My Little Ponies, which is a slight step up as far as societal respect goes, and prides himself being a "brony". Although I am a bit weirded out by his sudden replacement of simple "yes" and "no" replies with wild floundering nays as was my neighbor that we sometimes speak with who has a horse pasture down the road. Our neighbor now keeps a closer watch on his horses, especially after John repeatedly asks about the mating habits of horses and how much tranquilizer it takes to knock out an 800lb mare.

All that said, I'm so glad he's over his ICP phase. The embarrassment to the family was unbearable.
