The other day I noticed one of the 6th formers at my school has a Capsule Corp. patch on his jacket. I complimented him on it and he said 'I bet I look like Trunks, don't I?'. He's got the SSJ hair colour perfect but not the hairstyle.

Well unless he used an entire tub of hair gel (or a wig) it would be pretty difficult to get the hair style right...

You have the coolest science teacher.

That's awesome.

I was on an NFL forum and they were talking about what a certain player took to heal up fast.

Actual post - "I don't see why they don't do like they did when Manning and Brisiel broke their legs before and just feed them special diet of food to get them healed in four weeks. I believe it was senzu beans they were fed. Don't quote me on that though"

I got a good laugh out of that one.

I do not recall anything in particular. Though, I've been leaving Freeza doodles around everywhere I go from the age of 14.

The other day in my Spanish class, the professor showed us a clip from a Simpsons episode on YouTube in Spanish. When the episode finished, the first related video was Movie 3 of Dragon Ball Z in Spanish. No one said anything about it, but I thought that was pretty humorous.

Was watching a video of someone opening up their Yu-Gi-Oh packs and the card Spirit Force has a Vegeta-like character on it:

His eyes look more purple-brown. From what I can tell.

I bet he crushes his duel disk when his opponent summons a monster with over 9000 ATK points.

Oh, yesterday, a substitute art teacher was looking through my sketchbook and saw my drawing of Cell (it's in the 'Fan Works Explosion' thread if you care enough to look at it) and recognised it as Dragon Ball Z. He said that the DBZ style (as well as Pokémon) is a very popular art style among my age group. He also happens to be better than my normal art teacher anyway, regardless of his DBZ knowledge.

I was at a concert here in Raleigh around Halloween, and between songs the singer said something like, "Hey, it's Goku!" I looked behind me and, yep, there was a guy dressed as Goku. I got excited and asked him if he went to Animazement, but he didn't seem to know what I was talking about.

I went into the local Kmart, and in the DVD section, I noticed at the end of the aisle, there was a DVD (forget what it was) covering something bulky that was behind it. Curiously, I moved the DVD out the way... and what do I see? Two shrinkwrapped FUNimation DBZ VHS tapes from 2002. :shock: They had the Kmart sticker on it with a price, but it looked all yellow and old. Somehow these VHS's have managed to survive, sitting there on the shelf for nearly 12 years. What I don't understand is why they've never taken them down, since VHS's are so outdated...

Were you at Animazement? That shit was awesome! Check out this thread where you can share your experience!

Haha so this may be reaching but just realized my fiance's Christmas decorations look really similar to the Majin symbol :lol:
