This coming from:
Pain wrote:1. I hit my head, as a child(Son Goku did this).

2. I've had my fair share of "Rivals"(Everyone in Dragonball has these).

3. One of my friends at school resembles Piccolo Daimao, due to his wide cheek bones and big head.

4. I'm friends with a short, girlfriend-less boy(He's more or less like Kuririn). He is head over heels for an attractive, yet violent girl, who he tries very hard to get the affection of(She's a lot like Jinzoningen#18).

Hmmm....That's all I can currently think of. But, I'm sure that there's more.
Most people would call that "life". :p lol
[quote="Masako-kun / MasakoX as Goku"]This is worse than that time I was in high school! And all the guys called me Geeko, and I was Piccolo's slave, and I couldn't get Chi-Chi to like me... Oh wow, I hit that rock harder than I thought.[/quote]

So, I was at Wal-Mart in the toy aisle (looking for a Green Lantern figure, but I ended up getting an SSJ Gohan figure) and I heard a the following coversation

Kid: Mom, what's this?
Mom: Dragonball Z
Kid: Who's this?
Mom: I don't know, son, I don't watch it.
Kid: What does it say?
Mom: (reading) Su-per Sigh-an Ve-get-a (that's with the "jeet" in Vegeta sounding like "get")
Kid: And what about this one?
Mom: (reading) Super Sigh-an Goku
Kid: That's a funny name

I thought it was pretty funny and I almost corrected her pronunciation of Vegeta
That reminded me when the first Spider Man movie was released, I was in a gift shop that had some Spider Man toys, and there was a "foreign" mother and her kid. The kid asked her something like where did Spider man came from or how did he get his super powers, and the mother said: "He was bitten by a "Magical spider"".

I wanted to correct her and say "No, it a Radioactive spider!!" but I didn't because I didn't want to make a fool out of myself if the kid asked me "what's radioactive?!".

Someone called me Trunks out of no where in school today. Not really sure why, but I don't mind. He's my second favorite DBZ character. :D
[quote="temujin"]Krillin,the guy is just a ridiculous midget without nose.Seriously, he looks like some kind of bizarre monster. :lol: :lol: :lol:
Krillin's head is also pretty big like a balloon. :lol: :lol: :lol:[/quote][quote="Thanos"]Eh... it gets kinda old hearing elitists say things like "IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED WHEN GOKU MET BULMA"[/quote]

Zephyr wrote:And that's to say nothing of how pretty much impossible it is to capture what made the original run of the series so great. I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

I met my high school friends through a child Trunks action figure. I was walking around the school with my boyfriend and the time, and one aisle had a couple of girls with one of them holding the Trunks toy. I deserted my boyfriend and talked with them for a bit, and we've been friends throughout high school. xD
