“Since then, she’s been seeing the past in one eye and the present in the other, and she thought she could only see patches of reality, never the whole picture. She felt like she was watching a dream she could never wake up from.
Before she knew it, the dream was all over…”
Sounds like an awesome quote from somewhere. Where from?

What was funny, though, was when I went to see Prometheus and it was in 3D, and the 16-something year old girl at the ticket booth goes “You get the glasses for half price.”
So, I’m just kind of like “Huh?”
She goes “Well, you’re only using half of them.”
I think a better man would have been offended or insulted, but I just laughed like a bastard. Also, that was the most entertaining part of that entire movie.
Why would it be better to be insulted? “Only a fool takes offense where none is intended. Only an even greater fool takes offense where it was intended.”
It’s just what you’ve got to do. I’m not saying you have to make a joke of bad things, but you’ve just got to accept them and roll with them, and I’ve always been the kind of guy who makes jokes out of things. Moping won’t help anything.
Unless there was a Mope Genie who would heal my eye if I did enough moping to appease him, but I think it’s a fair assumption that such a thing does not exist.

I’ve tried, but I can’t hold a straight face for much longer than about a second.
I’ve long-since turned it into a huge joke so most anything missing-eye related makes me grin. Hell, I used to stash postage stamps under it (back when you still had to lick them) before going to drop off letters. The postage man would offer to sell me stamps and I’d be like “Got it covered” as I nonchalantly pulled it from beneath my patch.
Then there was the time I fell asleep on the couch and my son stuck a googly eye to my patch, and I ultimately did all my errands downtown (close to an hours worth) in public before I found it.
Or if anyone asks if I’ve seen something/someone and I’ll say “No, but I’m keeping an eye out” and tap the patch.

I go full eyepatch just to watch people be all like “oh noes he must be a criminal or something”, ‘cept it doesn’t work too well since I live in a fairly small town and most people know better.
I have a feeling you may be a bit obsessed with cars.
I think they’d drive whatever’s affordable to them…

I got one:
if ponies were able to drive(not that they do), here’s what I’m thinking about:
pegasi- Japanese imports
unicorns- European supercars
Earth ponies- American muscle cars
THEY’RE ALL BURNING
Nah, it’s some older stuff.
“Mmmm, another successful scouting mission…”
See? Right here:

You, sir, are a walking riot.

Ever tried acting serious and glaring at anyone then burst into laughter just to mess them up?

Eye’s still there, just not working. Cover it up with bandannas from time to time.
That’s rough, buddy. Do you go full Snake Plissken or do you have a false eye?
