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.

...because I am female and therefore not wholly immune...

A recent survey has listed the top thirty cutest mascots in Japan, with my cuddly Hikonyan at number five.

Can you recognize any of the others?

Damn, Spike's Enthusiastic!

Live-action Dragonball stuff I wanna share 'cause I think it's cool.

Alright, so ya know how James Marsters is playing Piccolo, right? Well, the guy is freakin' pumped about it. He was chomping at the bit the moment he got the part and has never let up steam. And honestly, I really think this is something that should give a lot of people a little more hope for this funny little experiment.

But don't take my word for it . . . horse's mouth from last month is right below:

If anyone's interested, there's also a neat bit of him during some event in Mexico from before they started filming . . . and yeah, he was excited about being Piccolo:

So again, this is really more encouraging than not, I'd say.

How Evil Are You?

TAKE THIS QUIZ to find out what your level of evil is.

Here's my result:

Aww, you think you're evil? That's adorable. We could just pinch your not-so-evil cheeks and pat your friendly little head. You seem like someone who feels massively guilty if you have even the slightest negative thought. If you were really evil, you'd lie, cheat, and hatch diabolical plans without feeling the slightest hint of remorse. It looks like your conscience is leading you down the "good" path, which is great… unless you're planning to take over the world someday.

Heh... fear me
