One of the things I really like about Dragonball Z is its penchant for excessively overstated dialog. Even the most minor of exchanges carries the feeling that the entire world is in danger. Especially great is the voice actor for Vejita, one of the characters who goes from villain to a sort of bizarrely motivated hero. The guy who does Vejita's voice (yes, I love the dubbed DBZ, the Japanese voices are just as bad) has done what Mike Judge did with Beavis and Butthead, created a voice that has distinct mannerisms, but that anyone with any vocal facility can imitate. It's the recipe for a great and memorable character. Look at Homer Simpson's "Doh!". Vejita's voice is also the height of overdramatic cheese, thus marking the ability to say "I can't believe it's not butter" as Vejita into a strangely appropriate comic moment.

For an example of what Vejita sounds like go here. There are several sound clips, some long, some short. I would suggest "I am the Prince of all Saiyans once again!" for the best taste. _

I want . . . I don't know what I want. I want to do something fun and active. There are auditions for plays at UGA, but I don't know if they're open to non-students. I would enjoy acting, but maybe they only want thin, lithe actors. Heck, they're doing Measure for Measure, but i'm sort of on the fence as to whether I want to be in that again after having been in a near-perfect version already. We shall see. Been practicing drums, and no one's told me to stop, so I must be playing really softly or not-badly enough to truly annoy people (including Liz). Maybe I'll be in a band. There's so much I have access to in this town. It's kind of freaky. Instead of feeling put out that there's a long distance between myself and things, there's tons of stuff happening within easy walking distance, and I feel kind of numbed by the sheer amount of stuff I would like to sample. Athens is like a very small New York, tailored to my interests. _

Neil Gaiman used the word 'neeped':

I was interviewed by a nice guy with amazing spectacles named Roberto but at the end, when he asked me to sign his book, he handed me a gorgeous fountain pen filled with sepia ink, and we neeped about ink and pens for a few moments.

From his blog. _
