I think Gotenks' attitude came from a combination of Trunks' arrogance and Goten's playfulness. If Gohan and Mirai Trunks fused (with them both being semi-depressed straight-forward fighters), I don't think they'd be half as arrogant as Gotenks. Too bad those two fusing is impossible.

I've got you [i]all[/i] beat! I've got 18 songs on my playlist! :p Then I think I've got only a handful of songs that aren't on my playlist. I've got 4 total GB of space on my HD, and only 1GB remaining. I tend to delete old songs frequently and burn a lot of them on CD for later.

FOX is making the movie instead of FUNimation... is that supposed to make us feel better?

Treasure Island is so old, any traces of copyright has dissolved from it (that's why Disney is making a space-aged adaptation. No royalties.) Every filmed adaptation of Treasure Island is old than Outlaw Star (except for Muppets' Treasure Island). When you think about it, the plots to both series' center around a group of treasure-hunters who are avoiding pirates. Plus, both Gene Starwind (OS) and Jim Hawkins (TI) have dead fathers to think about.

With Disney's Treasure Planet coming to theatres, I started to realize a couple of similarities between Outlaw Star and the original Treasure Island. The main character of "TI" is a boy named Jim Hawkins. One of the two main characters of "OS" is a boy named Jim Hawking. Both seem to be around the same age. Hawkins was a fun-loving kid who was a bit reckless. Gene was a bit reckless. Sea Ships, Space Ships... okay, that was a bit vague. The crew of "TI" is looking for Treasure Island to find an obscenely large amount of money. The crew of "OS" was looking for the Galactic Layline, where they could have found money or power. Both series had a band of ruthless pirates. There's a nobleman in "TI" named Trelawney who is quite rich. Sound familiar?

I tried teaching myself Japanese, but I'm too used to English's ordering of adjectives, nouns, and verbs. For now, I can only count in Japanese.

I wanted to start a thread about movie producer/writer/actor Mel Brooks in the Movies forum, but I didn't know if there was already a thread about him somewhere in the forum. So, I did a search on "Mel Brooks." The Search page kept telling me that "mel" was below the minimum amount of letters required for a search. Placing aside the entire point of my search, I wanted to know if there was a way one could search while using less than 4 characters...

My first language is English. I took a couple of years of Spanish in high school, but I've completely forgotten how to use verbs past tense. I can't speak Ebonics, but I can understand it fluently. :cool:

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to witness important events and blend in with the crowd, as not to change anything. I wouldn't want to alter my own life, as it might cause a paradox. :cross:

Anime Akira, the best anime movie of all time?????
Manic Webb replied to Darkness's topic in Otaku Central
I heard the movie was just plain bad and that if you want Akria, read the manga. That's just what I heard, though. -
I think the plot looks a little too loose. A couple years after becoming Santa Claus, he figures out that he has to get married. From what I can see in the commericals, it looks like he changes sizes, hair colors, and amounts of facial hair at random. I'll probably watch it when it shows on TV in about a year or two.

Right now, I haven't started school yet (I'm taking a break before I go to college), but my grades throughout high school were mostly Bs and As. My math grades were either Bs or Fs. I never got a C or D in math and I can never keep an A. The last semester of my senior year was horrible, though. I couldn't handle finishing one school play, starting another, and doing the senior class' skit. I barely graduated and had to drop out of a play because of my grades. I blame Senioritis (the disease that causes all high school seniors to become incredibly lazy).

Anyone like The Beatles? No, I'm serious...stop laughing!
Manic Webb replied to Rain's topic in Noosphere
Yep, there's nothing like a good ol Beatles song... :angel: Okay, so I only know "She Loves You." Personally, I'm more of a Monkees fan. There's probably some Beatles songs I know, but I probably don't know it's them. Like, I don't know if that song that goes "Help! I need somebody!" by the Beatles or not. -
And thus for the first time [i]ever[/i] (and the only time) the genki dama/spirit bomb saves the day outside of a movie. It didn't exactly kill Vegeta, it didn't do much to Freeza...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Son Goten [/i] [B][color=red][b]I like Wierd Al. I have not listened to him in a long time tho. Anyone seen the movie UHF with Al in it?[/b][/color] [/B][/QUOTE] I love UHF. That movie would've done pretty well if it hadn't opened that the same time as an Indiana Jones movie, Batman, a Robocop, and about 50,000 other hit movies. I even saw his Behind The Music special.

Weird Al is a musically comedic genius. He inspired me and my cousins to write song parodies... a lot of song parodies. Some of my favorite Weird Al songs are "The Night Santa Went Crazy," "Phony Calls" (Waterfalls by TLC), "Eat It" (Beat It by Michael Jackson), "Fat" (Bad by Michael Jackson), "Since You've Been Gone," and "All About The Pentiums" (All About The Benjamins by Puff Daddy).

Because I know somebody on the board who lives a few blocks from me, I'll just talk about where I used to live three years ago instead of where I live now. 1. Up until I was about 14, I lived in Oakland, California, USA. (begin ghetto moment) Oaktown! That O.A.K! East Oakland!! (end ghetto moment) 2. A lot of rappers in the 1980's & 90's came from Oakland, including M.C. Hammer. 3. If you're looking for a wholesome, safe neighborhood, don't move in by the colossium. There's a lot of recent killings that have gone on around there. It's not boring, but don't move here! 4. The airport and colossium are in East Oakland, which is a nice place to live, despite its rough exterior and such. Stay away from the West side, it's too dangerous. The Jack London Square and downtown areas are good tourist spots. The education system is in bad shape, as most of the teachers speak ebonics in class. My mom made me go to school in the suburbs of Union City, where my grandparents live. When I was 14, I moved in with my grandparents permanently.

I guess I can tell [i]one[/i] of my secrets... I talk to myself. My conversations usually go "I wonder why... but then maybe... but that would mean... so that means... oh, I get it now." I think better aloud.
-
I have no idea. I lost track of the episodes on the International Channel, so I honestly don't know. I know it happens while the eldest Kaioshin is still working his mystic hoodoo on Gohan. Kaioshin (the young one) has a flashback of how life was before/during Buu's first attacked.
-
I have quite a few secrets. One of them I'll be taking to the grave with me. The rest... I'll never tell.

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Will2x [/i] [B]so does he have anything againts humans? what is his goal? and is this the buu that was with bibidi or has it always been fat buu till now? [/B][/QUOTE] I think kid Buu was Bibidi's original Buu. His first victims were the Kaioshin/Supreme Kais. One of the Kaioshin was tall and powerful, and eating him made Buu tall. Another Kaioshin was very fat, which made Buu fat when he ate him (he also gave him that cheesy cape, if memory serves me)

I'm disturbed by the fact that Baby Looney Tunes doesn't have a baby Porky in it. He was like one of the original looney tunes.

Strange. I never saw the movie, but people who did see it say it was either hysterical or stupidly unfunny (like a Tom Green movie). I hardly find people who say it was "kinda funny" or anywhere inbetween.

I wouldn't say emotion distinguished us from animals. We don't know if animals can feel emotion or which ones they can/can't feel. Human emotion is exactly what makes us human. Every person expresses their emotion on some kind of a level. Not displaying emotion (good or bad) is just about impossible. I think the ancient Greeks went through a "stoic" period where all of their "ideal" sculptures and statues displayed humans with no emotion... they believed the ideal human was cold and emotionless. However, the "realist" period expressed that all people felt emotion. It was "realism," which means it represented what is real and what is not just an ideal. The truth is that all people show emotion, despite how many of us try to hide them. People who hide their emotions hide them out of anger and fear, which I believe are human emotions.
