(As the commercial begins, Vegeta faces the camera with a stern look)

VEGETA: As the Prince of Saiyans, I find myself in troubles and dangers mere mortals cannot possibly imagine. From the freakish...

(Still frame of FRIEZA)

VEGETA: To the unimaginable...

(Still frame of KID BUU)

VEGETA: To horrors so nightmarish I wish I could erase my own mind to forget them...

(Still frame of KRILLEN, with a dog biting his pants like a Coppertone Ad. Back to VEGETA, who continues speaking over all of this)

VEGETA: I've seen and done battle with it all. And when I need a quick pick me up in battle, there's nothing like...

(VEGETA holds up a red-and-white striped can with the words KI printed on it)

VEGETA: Canned Ki. In regular and new Extra-Evil.

(GOKU appears via Instantaneous Transmission)

GOKU: Hi, Vegeta! Want to fight? You know I'm way tougher than you and can whup your butt easily!

VEGETA: Want to bet?

(VEGETA pops open the can of Ki, guzzles it, crushes the can, tosses it over his shoulder, and holds one hand out at GOKU)

VEGETA: BIG BANG ATTACK!

(The screen goes white. When it clears, GOKU has a halo over his head. He looks impressed)

GOKU: Wow, Vegeta! That sure is some awesome power! But you know I'll just learn another cheap trick in the afterlife which will make me stronger than you again!

(VEGETA smirks, then turns back to the camera)

VEGETA: That's why Canned Ki now comes in super-concentrated jumbo size. Remember, with Canned Ki, the sleeper will awaken, and you will be the Prince of All Saiyans once again! KIIIYAH!

(VEGETA goes Super Saiyan, and the screen fades to white, then black)

Ahhhh, new DBZ tapes means new pictures!

Which one do you prefer?

"There is one thing a Saiyan always has..."

"HIS PRIDE!"

"World Champion? I've known stronger houseplants."
--Vegeta, on Mr. Satan

Chibi-Trunks has style points to burn, and then some.

Breaking through the shining clouds, I'm gonna fly away! ( Fly away! )
Spreading through my body, feel the power through my soul!
Kicked in the face. The earth is mad as a fire brigade! ( Fire brigade! )
Can't you feel it building up for her to blow?
If there ever was a dinosaur.
In a mound of icicles,
I would wanna train it to ride a ball.

Cha La! Head Cha La!
No matter if ever anything could happen,
Nothing can stop me now!
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Oh my heart just keeps sparking up like a ball of flame.
Oh, yes, it make me fired up! Sparking!

I feel it. Freedom in the sky, my roller coaster! ( Coaster! )
Coming down to panic, chaos that spread over the ground!
Take the scenic route down and upside-down. I'm like a melting star! (Melting star! )
And the world seems faster as she's turning round!
There's no time for me to mope and cry.
I've got to get started now.
Adventures are so much the meaning to life!

Cha La! Head Cha La!
Got so much space in my burning heart, now.
I'll take it up with all the world.
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Smiling away, away today.
I'm ultra z! Ai-yai-yai-yai!

Cha La! Head Cha La!
No matter if ever anything could happen,
Nothing can stop me now!
Cha La! Head Cha La!
Oh my heart just keeps sparking up like a ball of flame.
Oh, yes, it make me fired up! Sparking!

"If he's old enough to walk, he's old enough to train!"

"I don't have time to listen to Kakkarot's hair problems!"

"The universe is laughing at me with a big, stupid grin... just like Kakkarot!"

"I train alone."

"Ooops, it seems I've accidentally crushed your legs."

"Being a good fiend is like being a good photographer... you have to search for the right moment."

"Nappa, remind me to look into getting you dewormed again."

Awww, Goten's so adorable. :D

(Videl's cute, too. :) )

A conversation between me and a friend back in the beginning of the Android Saga...


Mighty intimidating androids, yes?
Like Danny giving a hard sell.
My favorite is the one that ate the Blueberry candy.
Which one?
Not the old one.
Ah, the fat one.
And funny how they managed to recap the previous episode without actually mentioning anything about it in any way, shape or form.
What was to say?
Last time in Dragon Ball Z....
(By the way, I do that guy's voice pretty good now....)
Awesome!
Err, have you been smoking heavily?
Only sausages.
Anyway, Last time on Dragon Ball Z....
Needing to bridge the gap between storylines, Chi Chi came up with a brilliant plan:
Slapstick filler!
You're not actually supposed to give that away.
Hey, this is a recap of the previous episode.
If they can't figure it out by now, they deserve to have it ruined for them.
Hold on a second....
*Gargles saltwater, then smokes a pack of Virginia Slims*
That's more like it!
Wow!
Now, where was I?
You were talking about slapstick.
Right, since Piccolo ate all the Marchmallow Creme Pies, and Goku refused to do the "Eye Poke times five" attack, they were forced to take their drivers' test!
That never happened.
Then, sometime, Vegita and Bulma got it on!
(In 400 times gravity)
We didn't see that either.
Yes, and then Yamcha pitched a fit like a little bitch!
You don't need to say that... just mention Yamcha was there, and it's
understood.
Look, don't tell me how to do my job!
Just who do you think you are, anyway?
Apparantly I'm Goku, considering he's the only other one who does announcements.
I can see it now....
"This is Vegita, in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z..."
"I am the best! I will destroy you all!"
That's always Vegita.
"Plus, me and Bulma get it on...."
I wonder if he knew that it happened.
".....All that, plus slapstick filler, in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!"
Yeah, you do have to wonder about that.
She probably slipped him a date rape pill.
"What is happening to me?!? I am Vegita, Prince of the Saiyans! Why am I so sleepy!"
*After the fact*
"Curse you, vile woman! What have you done to my nether reigons?"
"And why does my tail smell funny?"
He doesn't have a tail any more.
Well, that would explain it, I guess.
Wait, it only got cut off the one time.
Shh! Shh! Quiet! Quiet!
It took Goku, like four times before his finally...
...sorry, sir.
Say, Trunks doesn't have a -- wait! Never mind! Uh... it make perfect sense! All of it!
*Akira Toriyama nods menacingly, then disappears into the shadows*
Stupid Toriyama-ninja.
At least you didn't have to deal with his talking poos.
Thank goodness.
You know, mayhaps we're going about this all wrong.
Seems to me Trunks isn't Bulma's kid.
You saw the silly cap the kid was wearing.
Maybe it wasn't a cap.
Then what IS it?
Maybe Puar did a little prest-o, change-o....
You've seen the old Dragon Ball cartoon, it can be done.
Hmmmm. Yes, it can...
Well, so long as it wasn't Oolong.
Man, even I could have done a better new voice.
Let's see you.
*Does a remarkably smooth Mel Torme impression*
Wow.
*Post-stroke, but impressive, none the less*
How about George Foreman! He'd be a great Oolong!
Yes, if we changed the name of everyone else on the show to George.
And what's wrong with that?
In the next episode of Dragon Ball Z...
It's go time for George and his fierce nemesis, the cruel and cunning George!
It looks like George might have finally met his match!
But don't forget George, who's training to become a Super-George!
But just when things look their bleakest....you guessed it.... here comes George!
And George!
But can even they stop the rampage of the evil George?
But can even they fight George, who claims to have a power level of george thousand and george?
Plus George calls the Great Dragon, George!
It's all part of a desperate gambit to save the planet George from total destruction!
And the Georges fight the George Force on King George's planet!
And George (who George always calls by the name he was given on Planet George, George) calls on the power of George's everywhere to use the power of the Genki George!
Oh, yes, and George merges with George.
But what's this? Mysterious time-traveling youth George tells George that George 18 and George 19 are coming from the future? Could this boy really be the child of George and... *George*?
Boy is George gonna be upset when he finds out!
On the next exciting episode of George George George!
That's it for George, stay tuned for George Wing.
Well, my head hurts.
You?
Yes.
Good work!
Score!

One of the DBZ tapes I picked up yesterday (Great Saiyaman: Final Round!) turned out to be broken. The flip-up cover that protects the tape was broken, leaving it hanging loose and rendering it unusable.

But, genius that I am, I proceeded to cannibalize a former tape. Opening up the tape, replacing the broken part, and putting it back together is easy if you know what you're doing! It's all good now!

Don't I rule?

Ah, pink-shirted Vegeta. :D

"Hello! Servant women! Bring me a drying cloth at once!"

It's soooo disturbing that he looks GOOD in it. This makes me proud to be a Vegeta-type. :D
