PWNIES!

Curious about the shirt Senior Editor Robyn Fleming was wearing on the cover of our July issue? It was the “OMG Pwnies” design from ThinkGeek.com:

Pwnies are just like real ponies except with less mucking out stalls and more fragging of the enemy. What could be better than having your own pwnies to play with? You could braid their manes, feed them apples, equip them with rocket-propelled grenade launchers….

You can see the cover in ThinkGeek’s action shot gallery, along with photos from other happy pwny owners.
