The prank is that there is no prank.

There was that creepy podcast April Fools where Mike ended up podcasting from a truck stop bathroom... or something.

More bathroom podcasts!

Truth be told, I was simply out-of-town for a long weekend with the wife down in Washington, D.C. I had a couple ideas floating around in my head... but none were particularly engaging (a couple moderately mean)... so I just figured, eh... whatever...

Even *I* don't remember the vast majority of stuff we've done over the years. Lemme dig in and see, without referring to anything not here at the office, what we've done over the years...

2011: THERE IS NO JOKE.
2010: Swapped home pages with Kanzentai (visit one, saw the website of the other).
2009: ??? ("Also, in case you were wondering, reports of our deaths are greatly exaggerated." -- WTF was this...?)
2008: Hironobu Kageyama to perform DragonBall Online OP ("Riding' on a Time Machine" from his album "Cold Rain")
2007: Podcast where we all get killed off one-by-one by... Steve Simmons, I think...? I forget!
2006: Entire home page translated into Japanese
2005: ??? (I think we put a bunch of links like "POWER LEVELS" and shit in the navigation)
2004: The big DBAF prank
2003: Replaced home page with Suushinchuu home page
2002: Likely didn't have one, since it was just an in-between page before relaunch next year
1998-2001: Really don't remember. Did a lot of random text with my SD Vegeta eraser top.

I think in 2009 "Hujio" had a post saying New Jersey was blown up or something and he was taking over the site. The reverse was posted on Kanzentai.

Wasn't last year's joke switching Daizex's home page with GingaGiriGiri?! Or was that Kanzentai's? Or am I making stuff up?!

Huh. Maybe 2009 was the year Heath and I switched home pages. What the Hell was last year, then...?

Yeah, we swapped home pages in 2009. I know last year (2010) I swapped out the home page for Ginga Giri Giri, but I can't remember you doing anything.

Actually that was Herms, although I did loosely supervise it. Here's the original post from 2009:
Kanzentai April Fools 2009 wrote:Trying to find Daizenshuu EX? Well, about that... See, here at Kanzentai, we are always striving to be the perfect DragonBall fansite, as befits our name. And so we finally realized yesterday, after that 30th beer or so, that in order for us to be truly perfect we must have no rivals. To that effect, we have used our massive stockpile of thermonuclear warheads to wipe Daizenshuu EX and anything and everything associated with it right off the face of the Earth (of course we have a massive stockpile of thermonuclear warheads; when we say "perfect fansite", we mean it). Sure, we'll all miss Mike and the podcast and New Jersey, but that’s just the price you have to pay for perfection.

Anyway, to make this day even grander, one of our inside sources has just sent us a video of the opening animation for DragonBall Kai! It's certainly a departure from past openings, but I for one think it wonderfully modernizes the spirit of the original openings. And hey, ya gotta love hemoglobin in the atmosphere!
At the end we posted a Bollywood clip of a guy coming out of an egg and dancing around while singing.

Is there a link to that clip? I remember I watched it and I couldn't stop laughing.

ITT: Daizenshuu mods and members realize how old they are :P


Sorry for the 4chan reference...I hate that place, but I do use some of their "isms"



EDIT: And I just re listened to the April Fools podcast, and it was freaking hilarious :lol:


"I looked up...and it was...f*cking Steve Simmons!" Oh man I laughed so hard. And Mike trying to finish up at the end...I'm sorry, but if that were serious I still would have laughed :P [Okay...I wouldn't have...but it was still funny, haha]

The main one I remember besides the AF Prank is one with the Vegeta eraser top announcing Vegetto EX's House of Pancakes or something along that line would be replacing Vegetto EX's site. xD
