awwww shucks. thank you! u.u;

Anyway, I surely wouldn't mind writing a bio for #18 if you want. I've been meaning to kind of rewrite a lot of info on my own site, so I might as well throw that into the mix, too. w00p!

Sounds good to me... I think Mike'd approve, but I'll let him say so, rather than presuming to speak for him. Makes me think, though... I wonder if any other character-shrine people would like to do a bio for us...

Are there any translations available for Daizenshuu 7? I'd love to get my hands on it, but I just tell myself what's the use if I can't read it? I got this Akira Toriyama exhibition book at AnimeNEXT (think I told you and Meri bout it) that had Japanese text on the right and English on the left. It. Rules.

There's no English translation that I'm aware of, but it's available in French as "Le dictionnaire de Dragon Ball." If you can understand the language well enough, I think you can get it from Amazon Canada. They might not ship outside Canada, though... not really sure.

Here's a Nappa image... you might reject it, because it's not as awesome as you would want (hey, I don't know what your standards are) but it is from Toei. Whatever, right?

My word, Nappa has fat legs there.

Heh heh... yeah...

Uhm, I mean, are they really more than what they are out of that picture?

That's all muscle my friend, no fat. Why don't you try pinching them Liam? Or have you not got the guts?!

Oh he's got the guts, Jersey. He's ALL gut. BURN!

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:25 am

Hey! I have many things wrong with me...slight male pattern baldness, glasses, pale skin, incredible sexiness, but I am not fat! Much.

And yeah, his legs do look bigger than normal. His thighs look monstrosly out of proportion.

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:27 am

Whatever you say.

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:27 am

Actually, they do look oversized. Looks like Nappa's been working out with the "Thighmaster" too much! Tsk.

Being dead does mean you have lots of extra time on your hands.

Also, two minutes for two replies? Don't you people have anything better to do than wait with baited breath for me to post?

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:31 am

Other than his thighs, which you all seem to be a little too obsessed about, as if you've been studying "the art of Nappa thighs" for years, is the picture okay to you people?

Edit: No PsyLiam, I actually smash penguins when I'm not posting.

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:38 am

But, once again, you post right after me, again making me think that you believe me to be your lord and saviour.

Well, I'm not one to argue...

And it's hard NOT to study Nappa's thighs. Seriously, have you seen the angles Toriyama draws him (and Raditz) from? Dirty, dirty old man.

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:48 am

Why Psy, what do mean? Those between-Raditz's-legs shots are some of the best cinematography ever done! It should have won all the awards, but their was a conspiracy in the voting that year and Tuxedo Kamen's cape shots won instead!

PsyLiam · Post by **PsyLiam** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 12:55 am

Well, you can't argue against a man whose special powers seem to be rose throwing, crap speech making, and standing around doing sod all. He is truelly a hero.

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:14 pm

Yeah, except if how much of a hero you were mattered, Nappa wouldn't be in there. But yeah, you have to admire a man who can throw a rose.

...I'm not much of a Sailor Moon fan. You could tell, couldn't you...

Jerseymilk · Post by **Jerseymilk** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 8:38 pm

I have sentimental affection for Sailor Moon actually. Mostly because it's one of those animes where you can just sit back, watch the pretty images, and not have to think. It's a good vacation from the brain. Of course, after seeing 300-pound hairy guys walking around in sailor scout suits, now it's kinda ruined for me.

Of course, some DBZ cosplayers are pretty freaky-looking too sometimes, but at least you don't see 300-pound guys dressed as Buruma and Chi-Chi.

Dayspring · Post by **Dayspring** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:33 pm

Yes but too many men in Sailor Moon were actually women. Or the other way around. Gah. O_o

Not to mention that damn bitch, Sailor Moon herself wouldn't SHUT THE FUCK UP FOR TWO SECONDS!!! Her crying was stronger and sharper than fingernails on chalkboards!

Zackarotto · Post by **Zackarotto** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:37 pm

Fingernails on chalkboards is totally out of style, now. It's all about the rubbing two peices of styrofoam together.

Dayspring · Post by **Dayspring** » Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:48 pm

What?! It's fun to rub to pieces of styrofoam together! That's up there w/Bubble Wrap! ....Don't tell me bubble wrap's gone the way of the dinosaur...
