Ponycorn? What the he** is a Ponycorn?

Well I'll tell you! (although you'll know soon enough) A 'Ponycorn' is like a Unicorn, only smaller.  There.  Easy, right?  I picked up on this story from a friend of mine on Buzz.  It seems that a cute little girl (complete with equally cutesy minor speech impediment) named Cassie Creighton has founded one of the newest Internet viral sensations.  Based on her drawings, voice-overs and abstract storytelling that only 5-year-olds can muster,  'Sissy's Magical Ponycorn Adventure' is actually quite entertaining and a suitable excuse for a coffee holiday on a slow Friday at work.

Sissy's (Cassie) Dad roped the project together with some accomplished programming expertise and provides some of his own humorous voice-work.  You can see the effort that he put in with Cassie by walking through the dialogue and it's quite evident that Cassie had an absolute ball doing the project with her Daddy.  Having a little girl myself, I found this whole thing quite touching because it really captures the heart-warming presence of a 5-year-old's imagination brought to life.

Not to mention (also quite endearing) that all donations go directly to Cassie's education fund (at $2,300 at time of writing this).

I played through 5 minutes of Sissy's adventure between meetings and absolutely laughed myself Sissy (I mean 'Silly' ;)   -and now I'm off to enjoy my weekend....and find me some Ponycorns!!!
