Things You Always Wanted to Know About CP...but were afraid to ask
I visit CP pretty regularly but I go stretches where I don't come here for a bit. I often miss a lot of the catch phrases/sayings originally but can usually pick them up over time.
However, theres 2 big ones that keep coming up of which I have no clue of their origin. "7ouongo" and the pony reference to the Sedins are right over my head.
Funny story: A local radio show here called the Saddledome pretending to be fans asking what was not acceptable for signs. They asked if they could bring signs involving the topic of animals (getting at a crude Flame player/bestiality joke) only to have the phone rep say "is this about ponies?" The show hosts were completely bewildered and laughed it off.
Anyways, if there are any insider jokes you just don't get, I figure this is a good place to ask about them.

Use the "Insert Link" icon (looks like a globe with a chain below it.)
It will come up as {URL="Website"}Website[/URL]
Change the second bit of text that says "Website"

The Sedins have a very strange fascination with ponies.

Easier way is to type out what link you want... highlight it... and then insert the link onto it.
So, in the above example, I typed out all the text, including "highlight it", then went back and highlighted that portion and hit "Insert Link"

Does CP like anyone, more than as a friend?

The pony thing was hilarious. About 4 years ago when the Sedins re-signed in Vancouver, someone here posted the thread and the title was something like "Sedins Sign in Vancouver: Each Promised a Pony".
I still remember actually spitting out whatever I was drinking when I saw that.
