Kind of a backwards day, today. We took a look at Mike Lange earlier this morning, and rested on our 6 year old laurels before murking through reality tv. Now here comes Mini Pony of the Day as the sun looks to set, rather than already there in the A.M. making you smile. You can flip the script on your anniversary. You're only 6 once.

And with all that, I also threw today's mini pony on BuzzFeed, and I'll use that page for any beyond-special links or even non-mini pony submissions you guys have. Thanks to Dawn for sending it over originally. And this isn't some passing thanks, the video is one of my absolute favorites in the history of PSAMP. 6 years is 2192 days and we get you a mini pony each weekday morning, so you can see where this ranks.

Video below:

Thanks again for all the love these 6 years.

God I hate that something called Millionaire Matchmaker even exists, and some former fill-in Steelers punter was on it.

Mitch Berger, who stepped into the Steelers punting duties multiple times when Dan Sepulveda couldn't, won a championship with the team against the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII. I guess that and a career that started in the mid-90s got him to millionaire status. Or at least "rich enough to appear on some harpy's lovematch reality show."

Berger retired in 2009, and complained of being too much of a party boy who coldn't find a wife among the college kids at the bars. Stunning, right? So he got hooked up with some bikini model because when I think wife material, I think bikini model. And yes, I may be co-opting 15-year-old-me's brain there.

It apparently worked. Berger proposed before Christmas, and the couple is planning a July wedding.

Willie Colon was just cut by the Steelers. He is asking Millionaire Matchmaker to set him up with a sandwich.

PSAMP turns 6 today. Anyone know a good kindergarten? I woulda put PSAMP in the class ahead but his blogspot page would've had to been started by August 31st the year prior or something.

Thanks for making me write this.

Always much love to my bud Benson for doing this, just like after the insane Geno/Sid goals. Here's Mike Lange calling the Pens comeback goals against the Bruins. Coming back from down 3 in the final 6 1/2 minutes to win 3-2? That situation just begs for Mike Lange.

Go Pens.

Thanks to AJ for this. He says:

I’m not sure if this qualifies as a mini pony, but it’s still funny.

Creepy, but I'll allow it. GIF below cos I'm still having trouble embedding:

Thanks to Rob Ullman and Cory and the guys at DSB for this (1:50 mark). Jon Stewart boldly proclaims that miniaturized versions of everything rule. And boy does he get that one right.

Steelers linebacker Lamarr Woodley tweeted the above picture today, of some dedicated Steelers fan who loves the team so much he inked the alternate black Terrible Towel onto his chest.

A fan tweeted this @ me and it was too cool not 2 share with yall!!!

I've never been a big fan of the black Terrible Towel. I've used the same gold one for years, and Heinz Field is known for the gold Towels flying. The black just reeks of when a ton of NFL teams decided to ditch the colors and go with all-black uniforms to look harder and copy the Steelers.

Plus, black Terrible Towels apparently have nipples in them.

Where does this rank in the pantheon of Steelers tattoos? My list of best to worst, below:

Keisel, Tomlin, Polamalu, Harrison sleeve tattoo

Keisel tattoo before the others were added

Steelers logo head tattoo

Annoyingly confusing Steelers Super Bowls back tattoo

STEELERS TATTOO WITH SCARY DERMAL IMPLANTS AHHHHH

This awful Steelers logo tattoo on Judge Joe Brown

Thanks to Brittany for this. She says:

Fjdjsdjxjdmsnsckskdjf why are baby goats so damn cute?

Second-straight Friday that we've ended the week with an awesome goat GIF from Brittany. Best twist ending ever.

Thanks to Megan for this. She says:

Meet Roozer Brewz, The Brave Mini Horse!

I can get down with anybody overcoming a crippling injury. Bonus points for being an adorable mini pony. Check out Roozer Brewz's Facebook page here.

Thanks to Ryan for this. He says:

saw something you should see. Central PA special

All the credit to pantster

Yes! Now while I'm partial to the Western half of Pennsylvania, I'd be blind to not love the abundance of mini ponies all over Central and Eastern PA, too.
