Are they not supposed to go to their show?

Well, yeah, kind of. When it's billed as a single showing that's part of a series of Saturday morning kid's movie matinees, when it's going to come out in wider distribution at some point, when the theater saw what direction things were headed and hastily secured and announced a second showing at a more grown-up-friendly hour in midweek, and when their indulging their fandom results in tears and flipouts by tiny humans with incredibly poor powers of self-control... it's not required, but it'd be nice.

The bronies who were turned away shrugged and were bummed and went out for coffee or wandered home to see what bootlegs they could ahem. The kids who were turned away had wailing fits that their parents, who'd schlepped them out to the ass-end of the City for this, then had to negotiate down and spend a couple of hours making up for in order to make the rest of their Saturday not-shitty for the entire family.

Not required, I totally concede, but would've been nice. Especially with the second showing on offer. Bigger people can cope with, "Aw, damn, not today, but I'll just go Wednesday instead" much more easily.

So nobody cares if I have tetanus. Fine. I see how you are. More interested in bronies than my arm falling off.

But it's okay. I can see a big red area around the scratch, like a burn but in the shape of a Band-aid, so probably I'm allergic to something in the non-latex bandage (which I bought specifically because I'm allergic to latex). So carry on with your brony talk. I'll let you know if aliens sprout out of my arm. I'm fine over here, by myself, all alone. If I die, someone will find out eventually. Don't trouble yourselves.

I'm going to go on record as saying I'm against your arm falling off.

I'd be careful with a cat scratch, Zen, but stop using the bandage, and hope it was that?

Zenkitty,

are you up to date with your tetanus shots? If not, I would recommend you go to a doctor.

If you are, if it is getting worse, I would go to a doctor.

BTW, neosporin makes the first layer of my skin peel off.

Hydrogen peroxide is friend to Zen and probably Bronies too.

I did stop using the bandage, and it does feel better, so it was probably that. I couldn't believe it was an allergy because I bought the stuff I'm NOT supposed to be allergic to. Apparently I am allergic to everything in the world now.

But I am not up to date on tetanus shots, so I'm probably going to the local drop-in clinic tomorrow to rectify that.

I don't even know what the symptoms of tetanus are. Except that when you stop being able to move your jaw, it's too late, and that's not real helpful.

Ew, le nubian. At least I'm not THAT allergic to it.

If I didn't already know what it was, "Hydrogen Peroxide" would be a great name for a fairy pony. Lighter than air, with bleached blonde hair. Mane.

The Mayo Clinic website says that tetanus symptoms don't start showing until a few days after infection, and before the lockjaw you may have sweats, fever and a racing heart, but that you'll be fine getting a shot after getting the scratch even if you haven't had a booster in a while.

Also, your arms are way more interesting than bronies.
