See, this is why utopias are overrated. They’re -boring-.

  I’m reminded of the 1967 movie “In Like Flint.” Your utopia and my utopia are most likely different.

    My utopia involves a never-ending bar where i never get drunk or hung over. Also, that’s my idea of heaven too. Uh … does that mean i have a problem? Oh well. Let the alcohol flow!

Yeahhh, we probably did need a bit of a break from Robin at this point. And The Adventures of Shortpacked in Utopia does look like it could be good for a week or two of fun.

At least Amber’s probably happy.

I can’t wait to see what has become of Mike in this new world. Either he’s miserable, in jail, or kept on a constant IV drip full of alcohol.

How’d Robin legislate a post scarcity society? Are cream eggs available year round there?

  Around the Great Depression, the Technocrats wanted to build something like a post-scarcity society by having the government make things on such large economies of scale that they’d be effectively free. They were rejected as elitist.
  
  No one would mistake Robin for elitist and world peace does add a few trillion dollars to the U.S. budget for such projects, if you wanted to analyze it that thoroughly.

    Yeah, the Reds tried that “the State controls all means of production and makes goods available to the People” thing. It… didn’t work out so well.

….when did Galasso and Jacob disappear from the group shot in the top corner? As soon as there was world peace? Because I’m realizing I am pretty unobservant…

  Gah! They were there when I looked on Friday! Why did they go away? I loved Galasso! Also Leslie looks…creepy. Everyone looks a little off to me, but especially her.

“We did have one brown pony, it came shortpacked with the white ones… but Ultra Car grabbed it before it made it out onto the floor. Toy scalping on eBay is illegal, pony scalping isn’t.”

Utopia,
Land of broken dreams…

Here I thought this:

“Good morning, madam! If you’re a real Riding Hood, you can have your picture taken with this Shetland pony–free!”

–was adequately utopian. Little did I suspect you could sweeten the bargain by including one with each purchase.

Unfortunately, some part of my brain keeps shouting, “That doesn’t make sense! Do you realize how high maintenance a pony is? How does an increase of pony death due to negligence make for a better world?”

Then I wondered if Utopia wasn’t due in part to the fact that everyone was just too busy looking after stables of ponies to start any trouble. The power of ponies propels us to peace? Well, why not?

  One of the ways that the Versailles Treaty kept the German Army weak after WWI was they mandated that the German Army have a high number of cavalry units. After about a decade, the Germans found a loophole. There was nothing stopping them from trading in then horses on tanks. The rest is sequel.

  Amber now makes her living caring for ponies which came free with purchase.
  (She is currently teaching them to eat licorice so their poo smells like gumdrops.)

It’s not a utopia if the ponies aren’t rainbow colored and don’t teach people about the magic of friendship….

  Now there’s a utopia I can get behind.
  
  Actually, compared to the bygone days of my youth, it already is. I remember when you actually had to go LOOKING for porn, obtain it by stealth, or settle for stuff like the underwear section of catalogs. Now (as another poster once put it) they pipe it into your house with the rest of the utilities.

  If Omelas taught me anything, it’s that all utopias require a horrific sacrifice. That’s about all I took away from first year english.
