Bah, my joke pales in comparison's to Mike. It's small, but cute. I spent more time helping with the AF prank on this site than the one on my own site. ^^;;;

*preens oddly* I was probably the first person to see Meri's prank. *sweatdrop* I saw she was online and just went "Dude, maybe she's updated! :D :D :D! *bounces off*"

And now you know the rest of the story. *nod*

Meri, yours was cute. Now I wanna get my hands on that movie. Heh heh. By the way, I really like your Avatar. Excel Saga is an awesome show...

Okay getting off topic again, so I'll shut up now...

Wow, I like to end in elipses (sp?) marks. Okay I'm done. NOW!
And I'm spent...

Nice prank. Anyone see the prank that Adult Swim did last night? They kept having doodles of mustaches and glasses popping up on their shows. The 11:30 showing of Futurama didn't have anything but the 2:30 showing did.

Yeah, I saw that. Pissed me off because I was recording Witch Hunter Robin. I eventually stopped it, screamed at the TV, and turned it off.

Yeah, AS pranks suck.

It sure does.

I'm going to have to ask though, "XD;;;"? Assuming that the X is some sort of crossed eyes thing, and the D is a big smile, what on earth is the ;;;? A strangely shaped goatee? The longest neck in the world?

And then, since there's not a special topic for it, the ToT joke. Heh heh... I was wondering where those images came from, how nice of Meri to say that on the next page.

Edit: I wasn't aware of the existence of the second page of this topic at the time I had posted this, but looks like everything still applies. Hurray...

Oh, and go to Homestar Runner, Maddox, VG cats, maybe there were some more. Those should be nice for people, assuming they know the urls.

The XD thing is sort of a wicked grin. The ;;; are sweatdrops. Sorry, man. <_< Thought everyone knew that or summin'.

I love getting my buddy Sherlock Holmes to translate little japanese things.

Nope. Well, at least one person didn't know it.

But surely that means that the sweat drops are coming out of your chin?

Laserkid has a point. You do realise, Mike, that you've now increased the overall "belief in AF" figure by at least a factor of three?

I pity FUNI's next live Q & A session.

Morons probably won't care that the trailer only has scenes from DBZ. Though maybe some from GT. *Too lazy to check*

unfortunatly EX gave them every reason to be okay with that saying it was clips from the past as a remember thingy.

We will never see this die now >.<

I don't think it would ever die anyway, regardless of whether or not EX pulled his joke. You could invade TOEI, march the execs out at gunpoint have them public state on international television that there is no DBAF and never will be, then pull Toriyama out of a sack and have him say the same thing. And the next day you'd still have moronic fanboys claiming it's real. :?
