Has Dragon Ball ever made you do anything silly?

[Big Momma]

I know you can't just take home those giant cardboard standups... right?

I wouldn't know about those. The only ones we get advertise the National Guard.

I saw DragonBall Evolution

I actually paid to see Dragonball Evolution.

I paid to see it twice, bought the blu ray, and made an amv from it's closing theme song (which is being sent to cons right now).

I could get the PSP game, but I think I've done enough with DB:E.

[SparkyPantsMcGee]

Lets see, In elementary school my friends and I would hold "tournaments" on the playground throwing kick balls at each other while pretending they were ki blasts. Then, after the episode that had Gohan showing Videl how to fly I started to study chi and ki charts and anything I could find on the internet. My friends and I were convinced that we were getting close to actually shooting something out of our hands.

Then there was the time I figured out that I had a recorder on my phone, I spent all morning screaming. I timed myself to see if I could compare to Sean Schemelle or Chris Sabbat...not even close. Then in High School, for Halloween some girl dressed up like Syndrome from the Incredible only she didn't dye her hair red. Naturally her hair was black so when I saw her in the hallways I shouted WOW SOMEONE DRESSED LIKE VEGETA! At the time it was kind of embarrassing but I now I think it was hilarious.

EDIT: OH YEA, I also took my girlfriend to see DBE for our two year anniversary. Not the most romantic thing in the world but it was still lots of fun.

Well in 9th grade(2years ago) I performed a Kamehameha in front of the entire graduating class of 2011 in the auditorium and I did Goku's Budokai 1 SSJ transformation and speech in the lunchroom the day before. I was pulled out of the lunchroom and was taken to the deans office where they called my house and said that I was causing an uproar, everyone was surronding me either recording me or just watching.......Yeah I'm the man.

That's awesome! Why did you do it?

[caejones]

And yeah, there's that DB porn download related fault I know we all have... Right?

No. You're all horrible people.
.........yes, we all have.

No, we don't... Most likely for the sole reason that noone's read it to me yet.

Ok I:
- Used to try and transform into a Super Saiyan.
- Learned the fusion dance.
- Me and a friend of mine always end up singing songs from DBZ Abridged at school.
- Always performed the Kamehameha to try and look cool.
- I always sing songs from DB (most of the time, I don't even realise I'm doing it).

Dragon Ball making me do something silly? Get out!

-When I was younger (8, maybe), I dressed up as Future Trunks. Sadly, I didn't have a sword to complete the costume...

-At occasional times (as in, every day), I do DBZ gestures, like perform Kamehameha hand gestures, pretend to power up, take fighting stances, charge up a Makankosappo, etc etc. I do it anywhere: in the mirror, at school...you get the idea.
Advice: don't power up during a fight at school. It's not like in DBZ, where the villains stand and watch like morons. You actually get kicked in the crotch this time.

-Shouted "It's over 9000!" as an answer to my teacher's question at school. Can't remember what questions, but I know I've done it more than once.

-Yelling "HAAAAAAH!" when I was running for a bus (and as a result, was given strange looks from passer-by's).

-Sing the instrumental version of "We Gotta Power!" at random moments.

-Watched my friend's bootleg of Dragon Ball: Evolution, then got suckered by him to watch it again in the cinema (luckily, he paid for me! ), tried to convince myself that it was "half-decent", and failed.

-Used to be part of a kind of DBZ Youtube power level community, and, as a result, wasted a crapload of my life (and printing paper) making and remaking power level lists from my own in-depth mathematical calculations.

-Played a friend's copy of Final Bout, somehow convinced myself it was good, began playing it more every time I went round his house in an attempt to master the game's mechanics (to prevent myself from losing to him), and then finally realized it was shit after all.

I was standing and trying to gather ki for 10 minutes before trying to release it with a Kamehameha.
I swear, I was like a stone.

Respect, man!

[mysticgoten]

Back when I was a kid, doing cross country, while losing, I'd yell,
"KAIO-KEN!"
And then I got first.

So I work part time while going to college, and last night was my job's Internal Profit Sharing meeting. Basically the company shares a small percentage of its profits and you get free money if you met a requirement of over 1000 hours.

So anywho, when one of the managers got his name called, the HR person announced that his IPS was $9,950. Since I was already being loud and obnoxious anyway just for laughs, (you all know where this is going) I stood up and screamed my favorite meme at the top of my lungs;


"IT'S OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAND!!!"

[ShiningMoon]

Here's one. Earlier this week I was talking with my fellow physics TA's (who up until today had no idea I was a DBZ fan) about what to draw on the chalkboard during my office hours at the end of the week (since I drew something last week and they asked if I was going to do something new). They jokingly suggested Optimus Prime vs. Megatron. I said, "Nah, I can't draw straight lines; anyway, Goku vs. Vegeta would be way better." They laughed/agreed, and the conversation moved on.
Today I found out a huge chunk of the population of the TA office is DBZ fans.
Guess what I'm going to be drawing on the entirety of the chalkboard during my office hours tomorrow?
(Also, apparently they've been watching Kai weekly before optics class! I asked them to switch to after, so I could join...)

Oh yeah, and in the realm of far sillier things, I also once attempted to cosplay as "Badman" Vegeta. Oh man...I think I still have the shirt...carefully dyed to the perfect flamboyant pink...felt letters lovingly cut out and attached... XD

And I made a Vegeta snowman...

How did they react?

[Travis Touchdown]

The DBZ fans, both proud and closet, laughed.

Those who don't even know what a DBZ is thought I was cheering on the fact that my boss made over $9000.

Let's see...
-I used to wear weights on my ankles and run up and down the seven flights of stairs at school instead of taking the elevator.
-I learned to read Hiragana and Katakana back in the 90's because I wanted to find my favorite characters' names in the Daizenshuu I had.
-I always liked to draw, but I started getting serious about it when I started seeing the Super Butoden games in EGM back in '94, I believe. Then I ended up taking art in school. Now I draw for a living and a paycheck, thanks to Dragonball.
-And all of the other silly stuff mentioned by everyone else, like fusion dance, Ginyu and Great Saiyaman poses, and learning the Namekian chant for their dragon Porunga.

Every get any results from that?

Hah!! Actually, after like a couple years, I heard that it was bad for your joints so I stopped. But otherwise, I didn't see any result. Nothing I noticed anyway.

[LilKokuLink]

Christiano Ronaldo the football player (or soccer in America) trained with weights on his ankle - knowing that without them his legs will put more effort with each movement therefore moving faster. Part of the reason why his step-overs are ridiculously fast.

[caejones]

I have a friend who bought a weighted vest, wrist bands and ankle weights and runs up a mountain quite often while wearing them.
He's the Jugganaught.
I think he did some math and determined that certain parts of his weights exceeded those Goku used at the 23rd tournament, but other parts not so much. I forget what the actual weights were.
