Oh sorry I haven't posted any, guys. I have been super busy watching DBZ for the last couple of days. I actually found a blatant Star Trek reference in DBZ yesterday.  Those of you who have been around the fandom long enough to know FUNimation's original dubbing under Saban remember the "cargo robot," the censoring used to imply the news plane that Nappa explodes doesn't have any people in it (episode 22).  Well, I just noticed that it's shaped exactly like a Star Trek shuttlecraft and even has the designation of "NCC-1701-A" on it!  My guess is that it's an homage to Star Trek V of all things, given that that movie came out earlier that year, was the first to heavily feature the Enterprise-A, and was the only film to have a significant shuttlecraft sequence.  Neat!

I am a lot funnier than Biff Tannen or Ric Ollie (Ed. note: nice misspell) and do not deserve to be banned. Equal rights for socks!

Really?  DBZ and Star Trek V?  What's next, a Dexter's Lab post?  This Gaff clone may have less calories, but he/she has funny taste.
