LS vs. Don King
Today's Wisdom
Clothes don't make the man; it's the underpaid sweatshop workers that make the clothes.

Comment Response (02/13/2008)
  • Ulquiorra is emo? Nah, I wouldn't say that he is.
  • There's a show called "Pants-Off Dance Off"? Uhh... if it involves liquor, then I guess it isn't so bad. Drunk people do strange things. But if the people on the show are sober, and they probably are, then there's a problem.
  • I'm sorry for scaring anyone with the picture of Paul Bearer. Today's post is 100% traumatizing-image free, unless the dogs that lie ahead scare you somehow.


Fanfic Friday is here again. With "Animation Elimination" finished and with "Everybody Hates Naruto" two weeks away, what's on tap for today? A special one-shot comedy story featuring the cast of Death Note, that's what. You'll find it down below. Hmm... I've noticed that when some people insist on spelling Light's name as "Raito", they never spell L's name as "Eru". If you're going to use the transliterated romaji for one English name, you might as well do them all... kind of like when people use "Maito Gai" over "Might Guy", but they never say "Rokku Rii" for "Rock Lee" in Naruto. I'm not sure why this is. Maybe someone can enlighten me, or "enraiten mii". *shrugs* Enjoy the story!

For months, the serial killer named Kira has been murdering criminals via heart attacks all over the world. His ultimate form of vigilantism is a polarizing subject. People are either for Kira or they are against him. Of all the people against him, none is more adamant about causing his downfall than the detective known as "L". L is working in Japan, the country that is believed to be Kira's base of operations. On his side are Detective Yagami and his son Light, along with some other no-name cops. They are currently inside of L's base of operations, which is a room full of television monitors and empty Hostess snack cake boxes.

Cop #1: Hey... why did the narrator call us "no-name cops"?

L: Because that's what you are. No one watching this show cares about you guys. Seriously, how many people have you seen wearing an "idiotic Japanese cop from Death Note" t-shirt?

Cops: ...

L: I rest my case. *bites into a Twinkie* Mmm. Where's the crème filling? It's in my belly, that's where it is. *bites again*

Yagami: Ryuuzaki (L's alias), I know that you believe that my son is Kira... but I'm curious. How sure are you of this?

L: Hmm... *eating* ...at this point, maybe 2%.

Yagami: That's good.

L: Or skim. Whichever milk is cheaper, Watari. Make it quick. This Twinkie won't wash itself down.

L's assistant Watari leaves to go on a milk-run. Yagami grabs L by his shirt.

Yagami: PAY ATTENTION AND DAMN YOUR MILK! MY SON'S GOOD NAME IS AT STAKE HERE!

L: You think "Light" is a good name? I don't know if I should arrest him or plug him into a wall outlet.

Light enters the room. Behind him is his shinigami "friend", Ryuk. No one can see Ryuk unless they touch Light's Death Note, which he conveniently left at home under his mattress and stuck inside of a Penthouse magazine.

Light: Hey everyone.

Yagami: Ah! You must not think he's guilty or else you wouldn't let him go out by himself.

L: Hmm... that's not true. I do believe that he could possibly be Kira. That's why I sent a special crew after him all day without him noticing.

Light: What? I didn't see anything...

Ryuk: Hahahaha! I sure did. Just wait until you get a load of them.

L: They should be here soon. Their expertise will help us find Kira and bring him to justice once and for all.

The door opens and five figures enter the room.



Shaggy: Like, zoinks, man!

Light: ...

Yagami: Ryuuzaki? Who are these people? And why do they smell like marijuana?

L: I've called them in from the United States. In the past, this group of hippie teenagers has helped me solve a few mysteries. The most prominent of which was "The Case of the Headless Chicken" where a giant fowl without a head was trying to keep people away from a farm that was scheduled to be transformed into a shopping mall.

Fred: It turns out that it was really Old Man Jenkins in disguise.

Light: Yes... I see. Do you really think that these people can capture Kira, Ryuuzaki?

L: *eating a honey bun* If anyone can catch him, it's them. Trust me. Right, Scooby-Doo?

Scooby: Reah! Ratch'im! Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee-hee!

Ryuk: Whoa, the dog just talked. One of those apples that I ate must have been laced with something.

Light: I heard it too.

L: Did you say something, Light?

Light: Uhh... I said... "hey Scooby-Doo."

Ryuk: Nice save.

Fred: Here's our business card, Light.

Fred hands a card to Light. Light looks at it. It's a silly looking card that features all of the group's names and phone numbers. Light puts it in his wallet.

Velma: We spent the whole day gathering evidence, L. Would you like us to give a report of what we discovered?

L: *finishes honey bun* Sure.

Velma: At 8:00 AM, Light Yagami woke up. Between 8 and 9, he brushed his teeth, took a shower and ate breakfast.

Light: You guys saw me in the shower...?

Daphne: Mmm-hmm, we sure did. *blushes*

Velma: Between the hours of 9 and 10, Light wrote some stuff down in a strange notebook and stuffed it under his bed. We think it was a diary. Around 10:05, he received a phone call and left. Light took a train to meet with another person, Misa Amane.

L: Really? Interesting. Continue.

Velma: Light met with Misa at 11:15 outside of a sleazy motel. They went inside and didn't come out until 1:26 PM.

Light: Oh... about that, it's not what you think! I'd never do anything like that with Misa!

L: *sips his tea* No one would fault you if you did. I know that I would. *sips more tea* The "L" in my name stands for "lonely".

Light: We didn't do anything!

Daphne: *giggles* Sure you didn't.

Ryuk: Watch it, Light. You don't want them to find out that the motel was merely a cover so that you could formulate your next plan with Misa without having anyone see you, hahahaha.

Light: SHUT UP!

Daphne: How rude!

Light: Not you!

Fred: Then who...?

Light: Uh... um... the air conditioner is too loud! Someone turn it down!

Ryuk: Hahahahahaha!

L: Hmm. Light, I've noticed that you talk to yourself quite often. Have you ever considered pursuing some type of... oh... what's the term?

Scooby: Rychorogical reatment!

L: Yes, thank you.

Light: I don't need therapy!

Shaggy: Like, calm down, man. You're going to pop a blood vessel or something.

L: Continue, Velma. *eats a donut*

Shaggy: Man, I sure could go for a donut right now. How about sharing, L?

Scooby: Reah! Rare rum ronuts!

L: No! MINE! Get back! Back I say! *hisses*

Shaggy and Scooby: O_o

Velma: After the love hotel incident, Light Yagami went to lunch until 1:40. Then he took another train here. He arrived at 2:11 PM.

L: Thank you. Light, I'd like to know about the notebook you were writing in.

Ryuk: Uh-oh, hahahahahaha!

Light: Stop laughing!

L: I wasn't laughing, although I admit that it's hard not to when in the presence of a talking Great Dane.

Fred (whispers): Something's not right with Light.

Shaggy (whispers): Yeah, man. I don't, like, start to talking to imaginary people until I'm on my second joint, man.

Daphne (whispers): He's clearly sober... and oh so hot.

Velma (whispers): I'm hot too... I wish he didn't turn off the air conditioner.

Daphne (whispers): That's not what I meant.

Fred (whispers): I think we should quest--

Light: Stop talking about me over there! I'm NOT Kira! And I don't care what L says or what a bunch of stoners straight out of the 1960s think! All of you can go to Hell!

Scooby: Ruh-uh! You ran roh to Rell! Rucking rasshole!

Ryuk: A dog just cussed you out... I think. Hahahahahaha.

Light stomps out of the room. Ryuk cannot stop laughing as he hovers behind him. A piece of the Death Note falls from Light's pocket. Light carries multiple pieces with him in case of an emergency.

Velma: What's that?

Velma picks up the Death Note piece. She passes it around to her friends. They shrug and take their leave, promising to return with more information about Light tomorrow. Once outside, they see Ryuk flying around an apple cart. Ryuk takes an apple without paying for it.

Shaggy: ZOINKS!

Fred: Grab him! He stole an apple!

Ryuk doesn't even try to escape. Daphne and Velma grab him. Ryuk finds them to be amusing, so he plays along with the "arrest".

Fred: Now to unmask him!

Fred grabs Ryuk's head and pulls as hard as he can. He pulls and pulls until he yanks it clean off from the neck.

Group: O_O

Fred: AHA! So, the apple thief is really the Invisible Man!

Daphne: Fred, you moron! You pulled his head off!

Fred looks down at the head in his hands.

Ryuk: I would have gotten away with it too if not for you meddling kids and your dog!

Group: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

They run away in horror, leaving Ryuk to reattach his head to his body. The group runs into the street and are promptly run over by an 18-wheeler. Light is standing in a nearby alleyway. In his right hand is a piece of the Death Note. In his left hand is the business card that Fred gave him earlier. The Note reads:

"Fred Jones, Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake, Norville ‘Shaggy' Rogers and Scooby-Doo will all be run over by an 18-wheeler at 2:30 PM after seeing something that frightens them greatly."

Light: Look at that, Ryuk. The Death Note works on dogs too. I didn't know that.

Ryuk: Me neither. Won't this make L more suspicious of you?

Light: I don't care. I'd rather spend life in jail than have those idiots follow me around any longer.

Ryuk: Heading back to the motel? Hahahahaha.

Light: Shut up!

Ryuk: You meet a cute girl and get her alone in a motel room... and all you do is talk about strategies and world domination. You're such a dork! Hahahahaha!

Light: Even if I WANTED to do anything like that, I couldn't with you floating around! I can't even use the toilet without you watching me like some game on ESPN!

Light has an idea. He does something that he never even contemplated before. Light writes Ryuk's name on the Death Note piece. Ryuk clutches his heart and falls over onto the pavement.

Light: I... I did it! I killed him! Woohoo!

Ryuk: *sits up* Fooled you! Hahahaha!

Light: Damn it...

Light lowers his head and walks away. Ryuk follows after him as usual.

Ryuk: "I did it! I killed him!" HAHAHA! Did you think that would work? What an idiot! HAHAHA!

Light: ...I hate my life...

THE END




Hey, wait a minute... that's not a beagle... and that's not a boxer. Here's another kooky item from our pals in Japan. I've seen this before, but I didn't know it was of Japanese origin until recently. It's a dog that you stick into one of your computer's USB ports. Then it... humps your computer. It's not a flash drive or anything like that. The only purpose for the dog is to hump your computer. This opens the door for all sorts of oddities. Will there be doggie "protection" to make sure it doesn't get a virus? How about a skin for the humped computer to make it look like a drunk guy's leg?

Anime Video of the Week
I'm continuing with the "Month of Sports" in my weekly anime video series. This week's sport is boxing. Boxing, as you should know, is a sport where two people wear big gloves and beat each other up. Millionaires and celebrities like to watch boxing matches in person, kind of like modern-day Roman aristocrats watching the gladiators at the Colosseum, only with cigars and more hookers. Boxing was a legitimate sport until a few years ago. At that time, a man resembling a troll doll started fixing the fights.



And that led to Mike "Hannibal" Tyson feasting on people in the ring and threatening to dip their kids in sweet-and-sour sauce like Children McNuggets. Tyson never said that to my knowledge, but with all the crazy stuff he's said over the years, it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

Hajime no Ippo (known as Fighting Spirit in some territories) is an anime about boxing featured in the video below. And... um... that's all I've got. It's hard to review an anime without ever actually seeing it. (readers: *anime fall*) I'm sure it's a decent series. My brother purchased a PS2 videogame based on the anime about a year ago. He, like myself, never saw the anime. The game was only $5 and he figured the purchase couldn't hurt.

The game was barely mediocre, gameplay-wise. The matches had these realllllllllllly long cutscenes in-between. The story wasn't so bad, but it was hard to bear because the graphics looked like they were generated on a computer powered by a hamster running in a wheel. Not only that, none of the characters had voiceovers. Instead, they talked with word bubbles like in a comic book as cheesy, repetitive music looped in the background. The only person who had a voice was the ring announcer. Fast forwarding through the ring intro made him sound like a chipmunk. At some point, I remember that I got to box against a bear. That was the highlight of the whole game.

I can't judge an anime based on my experience with its bargain-bin videogame tie-in... maybe I'll watch this series sometime to relive the glory days of yestermonth when I got to punch a virtual bear in the face.



What's your favorite sport, if you have one? It can be either to watch or to play or both.
