Well, was planning on drinking a lot, taking my medication, then seeing my therapist to complain about my drinking and medication. Then come back home open up my laptop, visit the Daizenshuu forum and read about DBZ related stuff til three in the morning.

HAHA, I wish I was kidding.

You wanna know what I am doing to celebrate DB's 25th aniversory?

Well, here's the lyrics:
The Twelve Episodes of Dragonball...
CHOIRBOY! I CHOOSE YOU!

On the first episode of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
A tale with which to catch a fishy! *

On the second ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the third ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the fourth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the fifth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the sixth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Six balls for Bulma, **
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the seventh ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Seven deadly failures, ***
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the eighth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Eight-sided fan-keep, ****
Seven deadly failures,
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the ninth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Nine rabit ear-pairs, *****
Eight-sided fan-keep,
Seven deadly failures,
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the tenth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Ten seconds for Mai,
Nine rabit ear-pairs,
Eight-sided fan-keep,
Seven deadly failures,
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the eleventh ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
eleven-thirds-minute canon ending,
Ten seconds for Mai,
Nine rabit ear-pairs,
Eight-sided fan-keep,
Seven deadly failures,
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!

In the twelfth ep of DB, Toriyama gave to me,
Twelve Mamalian Testes, ******
eleven-thirds-minute canon ending,
Ten seconds for Mai,
Nine rabit ear-pairs,
Eight-sided fan-keep,
Seven deadly failures,
Six balls for Bulma,
FIVE DRAGON BALLS!
Four pig disguises,
Three Jankin Strikes,
Two naked minors,
and a tail with which to catch a fishy!
* Typo that I noticed by the second one, but left because... you could conceivably take the entirety of DB and catch an awesome fish with it.
** Goku had the four-star ball, Bulma and Oolong had the rest (four--Bulma's 2 + Grandma Paozu's + KameSen'nin's), and the "dragonballs" that freak out Yamcha.
*** ChiChi's blade, ChiChi's laser, Gyu-Mao's axe, the fire of Mt. Frypan, Goku falling off Kento'un, Yamcha's plan to grab Goku's tail, and... umm... Yamcha knocking out ChiChi?
**** The Banshou-sen was found by Octagon in filler, even though that happened later... it was the best I could come up with. :oops:
***** This one took a good deal of effort. XD. Counting all the fake rabbits' normal and rabit-ears, we have Two for Bulma, the gangsters and Puar, and one for the boss.
****** This assumes that rectangle-with-ears-Puar is male and has testicles. Goku, Yamcha, Puar, Shuu, Oolong and Puar... I'm assuming that each has two testicles. (Well, we know Goku does, right?)


I made the computer sing the whole thing (except some asterisks I cut out because something exploded over them), but the Computer's singing isn't quite right... :P.
I dunno, I kinda like the idea of recording a decent version and putting it to video, but I doubt I could do that alone. Though I might throw up some audio here.

:) <-- I'm more excited than you! :P :D

I'll probably pop in the first disc on the Dragon Ball Dragon Box and watch at least the first two episodes. I could watch them subbed from the Remastered sets but it'd be more fun this way. Maybe even pop in the Arrival DVD for nostalgia. God knows it's been years since I heard Terry Klassen's Kuririn :D

Well, uh, I watched two episodes of DBZ on my new DBox... that was it, and I bought a load of Green Lantern comics. That'll all I planned on doing today, I dunno...

By some great cosmic coincidence, my Dragon Box arrived to day. I guess I'll watch that for as long as I can before I pass out.

In addition to sitting around and playing the hell of out Attack of the Saiyans, I figure I'll whip up some sort of fanart. Probably of chapter-one Goku and Bulma.

Well so far all I've done is draw a Super Saiya-jin 3 character for Kanzentai's current contest. Will try to think of more to do later today.

I will be celebrating DB's B-Day by watching my favorite scenes and fights from the Dragon Ball series. Nothing but Dragon Ball today!! And who knows. I might even play some of my Dragon Ball games.

I have "Makafushigi Adventure" playing on a loop, I'ma watch the third Dragon Ball movie, and later I'll watch some of my Dragon Box.
Kentai wrote:Son Gokuu is a fascinating character anyway, because he is - at face value, anyway - an idiot savant. The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

Scratch my manga plan. I'm watching the Freeza battles dubbed using the dub music. Let's do this.

I think I'll read through the Cell Game and drink 45 ounces of Beer. Maybe watch Fusion Reborn...

OR the DB 10th Anniversary Movie!

Today is also Ozzy Osbourne's birthday!

This day is damn epic for me. How have I not figured out that these three things fall on the same date (All three pretty much consume the majority of my life)? December 3rd from now on and forever shall be known as "Sony-Ozzy-Dragonball Day." And it's importance, for me, will be third to Christmas and my birthday.

Now I'm going to go play DBZ Legends while listening to some Ozzy. :P

Edit: 777 posts. Rakiii :lol:
