What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

Ok this is something that was funny but kinda upset me as a fangirl but shows how awesome Travis Willingham is. 
oh sorry I was in love mode for a sec ok here is the video.
Join us - TimeChaser, Katana, and Shinmaru - for the next Movie Sign on theOtaku Community Chat.
What is Movie Sign?
Each week, we watch an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 while having a fun, spammy chat about it. We use episodes available on You Tube so everyone can watch them simultaneously.
What is MST3K?
It's a comedy show about a man and his robots being forced to watch bad movies as part of a mad scientist's experiment. The man, Joel Robinson or Mike Nelson, and the robots Tom Servo and Crow, watch real B-movies and riff on them, that is make jokes and talk back to the films.
Next Episode
Just in time for Halloween, get ready to howl at the moon when we watch Episode 904 - Werewolf. An archaeological team uncovers a werewolf skeleton in the Southwestern desert, and one of them decides to take advantage of their find for his own unscrupulous desires. The film itself is rife with problems, from terribly thick accents to the iffy quality of the werewolf costumes, and clumsy direction to the fact that the full moon seems to occur every single night.
Host Segment Highlights: The guys discuss who they would cast if they made a werewolf movie; they dress up as a 1950's girl group and sing "Where, Oh Werewolf"; after falling on Crow and cutting himself, Mike transforms into a Were-Crow.
Check out Mike's transformation:
So be there next Sunday night and join in the fun! Movie starts at 8 PM EST, chat opens at 7:30.

Four years ago, when the 2004 Bush vs. Kerry battle for the presidency was the hottest news in town, one theOtaku member going by the alias of setokaibasgirl gave a hilarious article about what it would be like if Yu-Gi-Oh characters became the commander-in-chief. Thanks to the wonders of The Wayback Machine, I've managed to get an archived copy of that article for everyone to read, especially with the upcoming Obama vs. McCain vs. third-party bets battle of 2008. So enjoy!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Characters For President
By setokaibasgirl
Inspired when one of the questions on my biology test involved choosing an alternate candidate for President – rest assured, I did not choose any of these.
Seto Kaiba: Sure, he’s hot, an all around badass, and amazingly rich, but let’s face it, the only one of these that really falls under presidency is rich. And just imagine what Foreign Relations would be like. *cringe*
Yugi/Yami Motou: Heh…two presidents in one. When you consider that one of these is a pharaoh from Ancient Egypt (let me stress the word pharaoh) who’s lost his memories, this might not be such a good choice.
Joey Wheeler: This one is for obvious reasons.
Joey: *looking at button labeled National Emergency* Hey Yug! What do ya think happens if I push this button?
Yugi: *anime sweatdrop*
Téa Gardner: After getting about ten minutes into her acceptance speech (about friendship, no less), the crowd fell asleep. *snore* Foreign leaders cringed at the thought of having to listen to more; they were ready to do anything. (well, maybe that’s not such a bad thing…)
Marik Ishtar: Foreign Relations seems a pretty popular topic today. However, he seems to dominate this subject. As in dominating the foriegn leaders.
UN: We are your mind slaves, Master Marik.
Pegasus: Let’s just imagine for a moment what things would be like. First on our list, White House redecoration. Funny Bunny style. (run, as fast as you can)
Bakura: Shy, quiet kid on moment, maniacal killer the next. Talk about changing positions.
Mokuba: Headlines of the New York Times: President Kidnapped…Again.
Oh, and to those who are curious as to what I did put on my test, here it is: the little purple person who knows all, sees all, and forgets all...can't remember his name...Yes, I was feeling very random at the moment.
I'm The Mask, your new guest poster. For today, here's a video of a man playing the song "The Final Countdown" using an instrument he calls the KazooKeyLele (Kazoo + Keyboard + Ukelele). It's a cool vid; so cool that G4's "Attack of the Show" even featured it.
Hope you'll enjoy it.
