What do you collect?

[Peanut]

Does anyone collect comics other than TMNT? I do! I like Spider-Man! Plus I'm starting up on the all new Ultimates series from Marvel! What does everyone else collect?

[Kali]

I used to collect Lady Death and Purgatory, but not really anymore.

[HorseTechie]

Heh... yep, I collect the Mirage TMNT comics. I nearly have all the Mirage ones, I have the complete Vol 2 color run that Lawson did too. I also got a good number of the collected books, and the Challenges book, signed by Michael Dooney.

I had collected the Image TMNT comics, until they started getting really weird. :razz:

I only have a few of the TMNT Archies though, since there were sooo many.

As far as other comics go, I like Usagi Yojimbo, Xmen, and whatever else catches my fancy.

I also like collecting TMNT movie stuffs: like the comic books, the graphic novel, posters, trading cards, press release photos, and even the movie scripts. I also have some of the movie star figures that were released.

Aside from TMNT, I like collecting model horse figures and unique turtle (real and TMNT) figures. As of late, I've also like the action figures McFarlane does. Sweeet...! I hope to get more figures for Lord of the Rings and Crouching Tiger:Hidden Dragon.

[Ratking]

hmm i only collect TMNT and thats about it, everything i earn goes straight to TMNT, computers and bills. I don't have any other money lying around to start collecting two things

[Kali]

Oy, lack of funds, that's why I had to give up Chaos when I rediscovered TMNT.

[HorseTechie]

heh.. I just budget my extra spending money on my fandoms evenly. I just buy the absolute best of each area (instead of everything in one area). ;p

Explains why I only have 3 of the four movie turtle figures, 2 of the TNM figures, and 2 of the LotR figues.... *heheh*

[Ratking]

oh i have lots and lots of TMNT, but i only collect the figures and vids, not games, books, soft toys etc.

I have alot in their packets.

[Skeletoncrew]

TMNT-wise I've just started buying the Mirage and Image comics. Although I loved them when I was younger, I really didn't have any of the stuff. I've always been very self-concious and was somehow embarrassed about how much I liked them, so I never really bought anything. Now I'm almost 24 and I've finally decided to give in and buy the comics no matter what anyone thinks! If I'm a geek, so be it!

Otherwise, I've always been a collector. I have Kachinas, pottery, jewelry, old coins, gemstones, books, Enchantica, Windstone, crystals, David Bowie stuff (lots of David Bowie stuff), Brian Froud books, and action figures (with a special focus on Army of Darkness figures).

Liv

[Ratking]

****, you must have alot of money lying around.........do you have one of those "new trees"....uno the ones where money grows off them?

[Machias Banshee]

Lets see... i have a bunch of Archies, the three movies, The graphic adaption of the third movie, and, an archie Turtle's digest.

On the non-Tmnt stuff, i have dolphins, dinosaurs, Celtic stuff, and in my extremely free time, i collect bread bag twisties to make sculptures. :grin:

[Kali]

and in my extremely free time, i collect bread bag twisties to make sculptures. :grin:


*backs away from Machias*

[Machias Banshee]

No im not insane. It first started as an art project, but i found that it was a good stress releaser, so i kept it up. I have one T-rex and i'm working on a stegosaurus. Well, maybe i am insane :eyemouth:

[Kali]

Ooh! Art projects! Yeah! I love art projects! I was just painting yesterday and was saying to myself, "I should do this more often."

Why do I have the sudden urge to paper mache'? (I can feel the topic slipping...)

[Machias Banshee]

(i sense it as well...)

But yeah, i've been drawing and other stuff since 4th grade. My roommate has her scanner working (finally! :grin: ) so i'm hoping to get some of my srt up soon. Krang said he'd host them for me. Luv ya Krangie! i got one picture of the five guys in some good outfits, called 'Here's to the Guys We Love'. You think Raph likes Camo? :grin:

[Kali]

Raph loves camo!

[Machias Banshee]

Gooooooooood :evilgrin:

[Kali]

Psst, let's go to the "missing dolls" thread. It's a designated random thread.

[Machias Banshee]

ok.

Oh don't I wish! No, I just started young. My parents gave me a generous allowance, then when I hit 16 I got a part time job...its easy to collect stuff when you're living at home. I also ran my own online jewelry business. (Still kinda do.) Now I'm a regular working stiff like everyone else.

[HorseTechie]

*nods* Gotta love the corpoate benefits that make the cash flow so much more sweeter.

Is it a scary thing that I have more of my collectables scattered about my cubicle at work, than I do at home? Heck... prolly cuase don't have any room in my wee little apartment -- thanks to my husband's obsessions with DVDs and books hogging all the shelf space.

[Skeletoncrew]

I got some LOTR action figures today! The Boromir v. Lurtz two pack! I can't get Boromir to work quite right, but Lurtz rocks! He fires arrows! (Yeah, I know, I'll shoot my eye out!)

Just had to share!

[azure turtle]

Wow, seems like everyone's collecting LOTR action figures. Maybe I should start, too...

[RaphRockz]

my friend has LOTR figs, they look kool, but I collect hot wheels, turtle stuff, and car memorabilia.

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm an ecclectic when it comes to action figures. I have some X-files, Jay and Silent Bob, Draco from Dragonheart, all of the McFarlane Army of Darkness ones, and now a few LOTR.

[MikeRaphGrl]

I collect Magic cards and dice so far. I'm mad because I have no clue where my old TMNT figures went.

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh. That reminds me, I've got a TON of Magic cards in my closet too!

[Machias Banshee]

What is LOTR? Wait nevermind, i think i know.

Dude! I loved playing Magic. I stopped several years ago, since I couldn't find any more opponents. I still have two small boxes full of magic cards. Ah, the memories. :smile:

[Kali]

Yeah, I still have my small deck of Magic cards. I haven't even taken them off the shelf in years.

[Machias Banshee]

I never played Magic, or any of that kind of stuff. The most complicated gome i have ever really played was Monopoly. I lived a sheltered life...

[Kali]

Ever play the TMNT Pizza Power board game?

[Machias Banshee]

No. *hides from bappage*

[Kali]

It was a hard game! I got a game last summer and it took me an hour to figure out the instructions. I swear it made more sense when I was eight.

[azure turtle]

I couldn't resist taking a short study break :grin: The Pizza Power board game?! Sweet mother of pearl! I forgot I had that. It's sitting at home, underneath my bed. I haven't played that game in years. I used to play all the time with my cousins.
*feels a sudden wave of nostalgia*
It's a weird game, but I love it nonetheless.
*gets knocked on his shell from the wave*
Grrr...! Don't ya hate it when that happens?

[Kali]

LOL! Yep, weird game. I still play it with my siblings every now and then. While we're watching my TMNT tapes. :grin:

I got mine used from a flea market, and the only piece that was missing was that blue launcher thing.

[azure turtle]

Wow! I bought mine at a Toy's R Us, back in the day. I think I still have all the pieces, but they show a lot of wear and tear. My cousins and I played this game often :smile:

[coolmike1586]

HOLY BUCKETS i fergot i had that game too, mine is still wrapped up! HA thats kewl didnt know that

[Nickokapo]

What do i collect...after getting all the tmnt eps i dont know what else to collect :/
I think i'll start collecting other cartoons...mask,gi joe,the tick...i dunno =p

You should! They're so cool! And I don't care if people think Legolas is gay, I like how his arrows shot too. Or how Sam wacks at these dorky orcs in the wall with his sword n pan.

Reminds me of those TMNT figures that flip when you push down on them, or does karate chops and stuff. I wish I could find more of those... :smile:

[azure turtle]

Aya! Another hobby to add to my already growing list :wink: And ya, I remember those "action" turtle figs! I think my cousin used to have one before it broke, but I can't remember. Curses, I must start collecting turtle figs before many other fans start becoming nostalgic :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

I absolutely LOVED Legolas' fighting style in the movie! He kicked major butt with those arrows! I'd love to get his action figure! Unfortunately its rather hard to find.

[azure turtle]

I absolutely LOVED Legolas' fighting style in the movie! He kicked major butt with those arrows!

Ain't that the truth! He makes archery look easy. Man, I guess I should start looking for some LOTR figs soon, if they're becoming hard to find. I heard that the movie got around 13 oscar nominations. :eek: Wow. I think this movie's gonna take some gold home.

Shyaa... tell me about it. I didn't get them when they first came out, cause I wanted the price to drop after the holidays were over. Bad move! Now all I find are the ORCS! F'ing orcs all over the place...

Legolas - "Well, *I* killed 28 orcs!"
Gimli - "So, I killed 20!"
Legolas - "HA HA HA HA! Loo-hooo-seh-er!"

:razz:

Upon the release of the TTT next winter, they said they'll release another round of figures. In the meanwhile, I wonder what could be found in eBay... that one of the Ring Wraith on a horse that rears up and paws sounds cool too. :smile:

[coolmike1586]

THAT MOVIE ROCKED!!! (nowhere near as good as te turtles but) like the graphics and things almost made them look real, it was so cool i seen it a couple of nights ago. and i can see how they got 13 nominations!!!

[Kali]

Am I the only one who's never seen that movie?

[HorseTechie]

*looks oddly at Kali* You haven't?!?

Nah... it's okay. I haven't seen Harry *cringe* Potter yet. :razz:

[Skeletoncrew]

The movie is spectacular! I've seen it twice and it was even better the 2nd time!

Here are my observations on the action figures:

Gimli, Orc overseer, Newborn Lurtz, and Saruman are the easiest to find.

Strider (a Target exclusive) is the hardest ti find. He's currently going for $40.00 on the secondary market.

I've only seen the larger pieces (Cave Troll, Arwen and Asfaloth, Ringwraith and horse, and the twin packs) at Toys R Us. But then, I haven't checked any other large toy stores.

Prices are $7.99 and up for individual figures, $12.99 for twin packs, and $19.99 for the Cave troll and horse/rider sets.

And now that I've said all that, I have a wicked urge to go check out Target and Toys R Us.

[azure turtle]

LOTR was a pretty sweet movie, Kali. I highly recommend watching it on the big screen!
Argh! I knew I should've started getting some LOTR figs when I had the chance. Oh well. Maybe I'll wait for the next movie :sad:

[Skeletoncrew]

Oh, don't be discouraged. Its not like they're not still making them. They're still coming out with new ones!

[azure turtle]

I recently visited another toy store at the local mall, and I couldn't find any LOTR action figs at all! I did find some interesting X-men action figs that were slashed from 9.99 to 3.99, but they didn't have any of my favorite X-men characters :smile:

[HorseTechie]

You know, to my surprise (and excitment) certain video game and music stores have action figures too now. I can't think of the name of the video gamer's store, but the music store was Sam Goody. That one carries a good variety of the anime/McFarlane/Bruce Lee/CD:HD/LotR figures now.

[azure turtle]

Wow, I haven't been to a Sam Goody's in a long time. I know that Suncoast carries anime DVDs/Vids and that they sometimes carry action figs, but I haven't been there in a while. I don't know if they carry LOTR figs.

[Skeletoncrew]

Maybe. Even Hot Topic (its sort of a goth/punk store if you've never seen one) has been selling LOTR action figures. Of course, their prices are ridiculous.

[azure turtle]

Heh. I kinda like Hot Topic, though I've never bought anything from there. I just like browsing through their merchandise. Oh, and I've always wanted to be a Balrog when I grew up! We have something new in common! :grin:

[HorseTechie]

Hrmph... in regards to Balrogs, never meddle in the affairs of Wizards, becuase... you know! ;P

[Kali]

I never saw any LOTR figures in our local Hot Topic. Of course I haven't been in there in awhile. Traumatic incident.

[azure turtle]

Hmm.....I won't ask.

[Kali]

Let's just say that the next time I want something pierced, I'm going to a professional.

[azure turtle]

Ouch! :eek:

[Kali]

Yeah, I ain't letting some sales girl who's never touched a piercing gun before anywhere near me again. Fortunatly she was shaking so bad that her supervisior took the gun away before she pierced me.

[azure turtle]

Man! A near death experience! I'm afraid of getting shots, so I guess I can relate. Glad you're okay :wink:
Y'know, you should've suplexed her, Kali. You could've knocked some sense into her :grin:

[Kali]

Nah, then they would have kicked me out and I wouldn't have gotten my ears pierced.

[azure turtle]

What a bummer. Isn't it sad when you can't suplex someone for their own good? :evilgrin:

[RaphRockz]

If you had the chance Kali, would you have piledriven or powerbombed them?

[Kali]

*blank stare* Uh, what? *shakes her head* Where's a universal translator when you need one? I don't speak wrestler-ese!

I would have gone ninja on her butt.

[RaphRockz]

good enough, just break out some ninjitsu on them

[azure turtle]

:lol: You show 'em, Kali!
Too bad Machias isn't here to enjoy this conversation. She's a big wrestling fan like myself.

[Kali]

Yeah! One of my goals is to study ninjutsu with a teacher. Books just aren't cutting it for some lessons.

[azure turtle]

I'd love to take some lessons in ninjitsu, but I wouldn't know where to begin looking. I know that there's an aikido dojo by my house, but I'm not really interested in that martial art.

[RaphRockz]

A friend of mine bought about $500 of ninjitsu books and videos, he hasn't learned diddly squat, and he watches them all the time.

[Kali]

I've got one book, and have read a few others, been to a lot of sites, ect. I know a lot of info, but have yet to put any of it into practice. Except sneaking up on people and being silent.

[RaphRockz]

he also bought alot of okinawan weapons, his room is lined with gear. I remember when he first got nunchakus, he knocked himself out with them

[azure turtle]

Heh. I bet THAT wasn't fun :wink:

[Kali]

LOL! I'm smart enough to know that martial arts are not something you can learn on your own. NOT a self-study thing. I've given myself nasty bruises with my whip and bo.

[RaphRockz]

It was hilarious to see him fall backwards, I was laughing for many hours even after he woke up.

[Kali]

Ooh, I hope they were foam practice ones. Did he break anything?

[RaphRockz]

his were real hard wood, he was trying to show off and got whammed in the head, he fell onto the floor and nothing broke.

[Kali]

Well, I hope he learned his lesson.

[azure turtle]

Only one word could describe that: ow.

[RaphRockz]

he had a cute popknot on his head for about 2 weeks.

[Kali]

Thank goodness he wasn't trying to show off with a sword!

[RaphRockz]

Luckily all he has is a boken for a sword.

[azure turtle]

Thank goodness he wasn't trying to show off with a sword!

I agree! That would've been very, very bad. He needs to be more careful.
*sigh*
Kids these days....

[Skeletoncrew]

Why in my day...heh heh heh

BTW, Hot Topic is currently selling TMNT t-shirts. They've got about 3 designs and they're all the cartoon style. They also have a couple with just the cartoon logo on it.

BTW Kali, I'm one of those salesclerk/ear piercers (not at Hot Topic!). If I ever wanted more holes in my ear I'd be careful about where I went. Our store didn't do piercing for a LONG time because the guns kept jamming. There's nothing quite like standing there with your gun attached to someone's ear because it didn't release completely.

Suffice to say, I'm quite hesitant to resume piercing again.

[HorseTechie]

Mmm... I am not holey for those reasons, I guess! :lol:

I do have a bo-staff and a boken too. Have no idea how to use the boken, it's just a costume prop. But I learned some basics with the Bo. And I learned it's not wise to practice with one in a small apartment! Nearly poked a hole in the TV, and then later in a friendly sparring match with my friend, we knocked the phone and a picture frame from the table (I think we have that on tape!) :razz:

I have one of those! And there are more than just three, I think. I've seen at least six. And hats, and stickers, and patches.

Actually, I want to get pierced again, even after that incident. One day I was just standing in this outdoor mall and thought, "I want to pierce my ears again." Just a spur of the moment thing, and I would have except there was no place there that did it.

And I've seen the prices at professional places! $45!, though I think it includes the jewelry.

[HorseTechie]

Ehh.. bright, colorful, toony shirts at Hot Topic don't impress me though... I miss the ones they first came out with! The Comic images on black baby tees...*sniff* I only got one of those.

Still want to get those little Turtle beanie baby things ppl were raving about. All of the Hot Topics stores here were sold out by the time I heard of them.

Pity me... :razz:

[azure turtle]

Man, I used to have two TMNT t-shirts that I treasured. Both of them had the 'toon version of the turtles. Maybe it's time for me to pay Hot Topic a friendly little visit...I may even get to suplex someone on my way there! :wink:

[Kali]

I've still got bunches of old TMNT clothes we found around the house.

http://www.geocities.com/kaligargoyle/TMNTcollection.html

Like from way back in the day. None of it fits me anymore, but they're still neat to look at.

[azure turtle]

Ah, the memories! Cool scans, dudette. My cousin actually had a shirt with the same design as the one you bought from Hot Topic. Weird, eh? Maybe Hot Topic is just recycling designs....Anyway, now I want a TMNT shirt, too!
*starts jumping up and down*
I want a shirt! Me! Want! Shirt!
*hits his head on the ceiling, and falls flat on his shell*
Ahhhhh......shell shock. :dead:

[Kali]

Save up dude, they're like $18 a pop. I made myself a logo shirt for just half that much. I really have to get my Raph Fan T-shirt design down on paper, or fabric as the case may be.

[azure turtle]

Eighteen green ones?! Wow. Are they trying to cash in on nostalgic turtleholics, or are they aware of the Turtles revival?? Looks like I'll be shelling out some dough the next time I wander into a Hot Topic.

[Kali]

Hot Topic is a rather expensive store. They're a specialty store, and everything costs mucho bucks.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I remember wanting to buy a Sloth (from the Goonies) shirt. It was the same Superman design that he wore near the end of the movie. I think it was over twenty bucks. I never did get that t-shirt... But you're right about Hot Topic selling specialty items. Not many stores still sell TMNT merchandise, or even Goonies related t-shirts. :smile:

[Nunchucker]

What do I collect? Let's see, apart from dust I collect anything to Do with Jackie Chan, Chinese Dragons, anything with cute ducks or parrots on it. Lots of turtle stuff.

Maybe that's why people think I am weird and cross the street to avoid me. Maybe a garbble to much turtle and parrot talk. Or it could be that my daughter has ADHD.

[HorseTechie]

*blink*

Nikki!!! Is that you? (it's me, HorseTurtle)

[azure turtle]

Oh hey! I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan! I like Jet Li's stuff, too. What's your favorite Jackie Chan movie? I'd have to go with Young Master. If you haven't seen this one yet, I highly recommend it!

[Kali]

*raises eyebrow* I believe it is Nikki. Check the e-mail address.

[Skeletoncrew]

I really like Jet Li! My favorite movie of his has just been released on DVD. I probably won't be buying it though. They changed the title from "The New Legend of Shaolin" to "Legend of the Red Dragon", and the DVD has dubbed voices. Part of the fun of the original movie was the cheesy subtitles. Stuff like the characters talking about how much they like chicken ass. I doubt the dubbed version has them saying "chicken ass".

[Kali]

I don't think I've ever seen a Jet Li movie. I'm a big fan of Jackie Chan, though.

[Skeletoncrew]

Jet Li is better looking. Hee hee hee

[Kali]

I'll just take your word on that.

[azure turtle]

Jet Li is better looking. Hee hee hee

Eh, I'll take your word on that, too. Anyway, my favorite Jet Li movie was the one where he had a little son who could kick some major arse. I forgot the name of the movie, but it was definitely cool.

[Skeletoncrew]

Many of Jet-Li's movies were filmed in China and not received wide distribution here. Ones you might know of are Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon, and he was in Lethal Weapon 4 (I think thats the right one).

I've always respected Jackie Chan for the fact that he doesn't do "special effects" type movies (though I don't have a problem with Crouching Tiger style fight scenes). Jackie Chan is a lot of fun to watch.

[Kali]

Nope, never saw any of those movies.

I love watching Jackie Chan. I've always had a soft spot for action comedy. Have you seen his WB cartoon?

[azure turtle]

Yep, I've seen all of Jet Li's "mainstream" appearances. You forgot to mention that Black Mask was in theatres for a short while. I remember, since I was one of three people who sat in a theatre to watch it :smile: I've watched several of Jet Li's older movies (the Once Upon a Time in China series as well as a few others). And ya, I agree! Jackie Chan is a lot of fun to watch. It's true that he doesn't use any special effects during his fight scenes, not even wires. Still, I don't mind watching those kinds of fight scenes. I thought the fighting in Crouching Tiger, the Matrix, and Romeo Must Die were pretty awesome :wink:

[azure turtle]

I love watching Jackie Chan. I've always had a soft spot for action comedy. Have you seen his WB cartoon?

I like his cartoon! I don't think he voices himself, though. I think it's a voice actor who sounds like him.

[Skeletoncrew]

I've never seen the Jackie Chan cartoon. I don't have a TV!

Azure Turtle, you might be thinking of my fave Jet Li movie. He has a kick butt son in "New Legend of Shaolin". They end up helping a group of 5 boys who have a map tattooed on their backs.

[Kali]

I like his cartoon! I don't think he voices himself, though. I think it's a voice actor who sounds like him.
Yep, I doubt he does. Hmm, maybe I'll take a close look at the credits tomorrow. I don't usually read them, I couldn't care less, but I'd like to find out.

[azure turtle]

Hmmm, no, I'm thinking of another movie. Although "New Legend of Shaolin" sounds interesting after you described it! I'm gonna have to hunt for that the next time I'm in a video store.

The movie I'm thinking of has Jet Li being a top secret agent, and his little son has no idea about it. The kid gets involved in Jet's latest case (I won't say how, in case you haven't seen this yet), and he teams up with another agent. This kid is pretty young, I'd say around seven, and he does his own fight scenes in the movie! He even fights off a few school bullies with his martial arts. Talk about hardcore :smile:

[Skeletoncrew]

I haven't seen that one! Sounds good! I'll have to watch for it.

[azure turtle]

I always channel surf when credits start to roll, unless I'm looking for a name. I've never bothered to look at the Jackie Chan Adventures credits either, but I guess I'll have to now, since I'm curious :smile:

I was wondering what had happened to your stories! I was so sad, and worried, when I saw them missing.

[HorseTechie]

Ahhh! I really like Jet Li too! After hubby (who's also a very cute Korean) showed me some Jet Li flicks a couple years ago, I'm so enamored. :lol: (Before that, I used to like Jacki Chan *innocent smile*)

I will admit, I have a thing for "Lee's" in general. Jet li, Bruce Lee, Jason Lee (and my hubby, YoungKyu Lee) :goofygri:

But the flick I believe Azurte tos talking of, is called "the Enforcer"? I have that DVD, where Li's this secret agent type, and he's got a son and a wife who's very sick and... *shuts up before she ruins it for the others*

I also liked this other early one released in
China, all in Chinese... I forgot the exact name of it, by hubby said the English translation was "the Bodyguard". :grin:

To Nun: aww.. they erased all your fanfics from there? That bites indeed! But thanks for letting me know, so I can update your links to Brina's site. (hopefully those will be safe)

Who'd have thought? It doesn't sound like him that's for sure! The english is too well spoken, I always remeber Jackie having trouble with his english.

It must be those microphones they use, with the filters on them. It changes your voice a little, I suppose.

[Skeletoncrew]

Thats pretty cool. Who is the other Chan? His daughter?

[Kali]

Don't know, can't find any bio's on her.

[Kali]

I also found this:
http://jackiechanzone.virtualave.net/jcadventures/jcad_fact.html
Which suggests that he doesn't do the voice 100% of the time.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I always though Jackie's accent was a lot heavier. I guess he only does certain scenes in the cartoon? I know that the name of the girl in the cartoon is Jade, and that she's supposed to be Jackie's niece. I have no idea who Stacie Chan is, though.

And yes, HorseTechie, that's the name of the Jet Li movie I was thinking of! Definitely one of my favorites :smile: Ah yes, martial arts is cool.

Thats pretty cool. Who is the other Chan? His daughter?



Jackie Chan only has a son called Jason, he is about ten years old now. Jackie has a lot of brother and sisters, maybe it's one of them.

[Kali]

OR it could just be someone else with the last name of Chan. No relation. Isn't it a common name?

[Nunchucker]

Chan is his first name, not his last. But I suppose there are lots of Chan's in San Fran!

[Kali]

*smackes her forehead* First name, that's right! And I knew that too! I did!

[Skeletoncrew]

I thought the name Jackie Chan was an "Americanization"? Jackie doesn't sound like anyone's last name to me.

[azure turtle]

de nada, o blue frosty one! :smile:

Oooh, Habla espanol? I took Spanish in high school for three years! It's a fun language.
Hey....I didn't know that I was frosty. :grin:

*looks up at the other posts*

Once again, I'm confused... :???:

[Skeletoncrew]

Don't worry Azure, there isn't going to be a quiz! We were just discussing the Jackie Chan cartoon, and whether or not the voice actress who plays his niece in the cartoon is related to him.

[azure turtle]

Oh ya! Now it all makes sense :grin:
I really hope there won't be a quiz.

*sweat drop*

I haven't studied.....

[Skeletoncrew]

Okay, pop quiz!

In Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice which chest contained Portias picture? The gold, lead, or silver chest?

Time's up! Turn in your answers!

[azure turtle]

AHHH! The horror of a pop quiz!!
*suddenly has a high school flash back*
I can't take it any more!
*faints* :dead:

[Skeletoncrew]

*looks down at Azure*
*pulls small book from back pocket "101 Things To Do With An Unconscious Turtle"*
*flip through pages, occassionally chuckling*
Ahh well, guess I'll be nice.
*kneels down and fans Azure's face with the booklet*
Wakey-wakey!

[azure turtle]

*starts to stir*

Phew....high school flash backs are scary! Thanks for waking me up, Skeletoncrew!

*glances at the book that Skeletoncrew's using to fan him with*

Eh....?

*eyes Skeletoncrew suspiciously*

[Skeletoncrew]

What?! I didn't DO any of them...just suggestion #1. "Revive unconscious turtle."

[azure turtle]

*sweat drop*
Oh, okay. I'm glad you went with the first suggestion, dudette! :grin:

[Kali]

*snaps fingers* Damn, came in too late.

[azure turtle]

LOL! Better luck next time, dudette :razz:

[Kali]

*wonders if she can manifest an Anime mallet*

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm sure he'll faint again Kali! Here, check out the booklet! We'll be ready next time!

*hands Kali the book*

Personally I was thinking about #9 there since I've got a camera...

[Kali]

*flips through the book* Ooh, #47 looks promising.

[azure turtle]

*big sweat drop*
Hey now! I'm not liking where this conversation is going....

[Skeletoncrew]

*tickles Azure under the chin*

Come on! You know you love all this attention!

[Kali]

Then stay conscious, Turtle boy.

[HorseTechie]

:lol:

[Kali]

You're a much better sport than Mike was.

[azure turtle]

*blushes crimson*
Uh...heh heh heh.....:oops:

[Skeletoncrew]

Three cheeres for Azure!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!
Huzzah!

[azure turtle]

*does the happy dance*
Thanks, I like cheers!

[HorseTechie]

*looks at Azure*

yeah, he's much more fun than those clones too. :lol:

[SPEEd]

Archie Comics I collect. Haven't bought 1 for awhile. Got like 60 Comics of Archie.

[azure turtle]

*looks at HorseTechie*
Thanks! Those clones scare me, sometimes....
*looks at Speed*
Dude! You've got 60 Archie Comics?! I don't even have a single one. Lucky! I've already sent out a mail order to get the first two Archie Comics. I'm starting my collection, even if I'm a tad late. :grin:

[Kali]

You know what else I collect besides Turtle stuff? Temporary tattoos. I used to love wearing them all the time, but now I just stick them in a book and only wear them on special occasions.

[Skeletoncrew]

Temporary tattoos are cool. I've got a bunch of kits here from Temptu. You transfer the black part on, then paint in the colors. They can last for a week or more and look absolutely real!

[azure turtle]

I've never had a temporary tattoo kit. I've collected temporary tattoos before, the kind that you wet and stick to your skin. I remember buying a pack of TMNT temp tatts, but those are all gone :sad:

[Kali]

I like the stick on ones too, although I have been know to paint my own on. Went through a kanji phase. I have a bad picture somewhere of one day when I got totally out of control. And I'm wearing a mini skirt and this ribbon-crown-headband thing in the photo too! *groan*

I have a TNM Raphael temp tattoo, and the rest are just random ones I picked up.

[azure turtle]

Hmmm...I don't know if I saved any of the temp tatts that I used to have. I'll check it out when I get back home. I think I may have some left over that have a biker theme to them.

[SPEEd]

Thats fine if you started late. I got started in comics when a old friend of mine got me a WIZARD. Then had like so into Turok. Before the videogame came out. Most people don't even know the game was based on the comic.

[Raijin Z]

A little of this, a little of that...

http://jigoku.studio-zoe.com/temp/collection.jpg

[SPEEd]

Thats cool.

[azure turtle]

Wow, that's quite a collection you've got, Raijin Z!! I don't think I have as much stuff as you do. Impressive.

[SPEEd]

yeah it is.

[Raijin Z]

You'd **** if you saw the crowining gem of my collection. OPTIMUS PRIME. IN THE BOX.

[azure turtle]

Unopened?! :eek: Dude, your hardcore. Major props to ya!

[Skeletoncrew]

Wow. I had a transformer when I was a kid. I don't remember who, only that he turned into a fighter jet.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I think I had two Transformers when I was younger. One turned into a train, and I forgot what the other one turned into. I liked the Transformers figs, but I always ended up getting frustrated when I was trying to make them transform. I guess that's why I stuck with TMNT figs.

[Skeletoncrew]

Good lord. I just remembered that I used to have a bunch of My Little Ponies, and a few Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Bleh.

[azure turtle]

My Little Ponies and Strawberry Shortcakes?! I remember those! My cousin used to collect those! Heh, her little ponies never had a chance against my Ace Duck action fig!
==evil laughter==

[Skeletoncrew]

In my own defense I'd like to mention that I also collected bones as a child! I wasn't a total girly-girl!

[azure turtle]

Bones?! You don't mean bones like *nervous gulp* human bones, do you?
*starts to slowly inch away from SC*

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm reasonably certain that there were no human bones in my collection.

I do remember having a deer jaw and a mouse skeleton.

What's it matter to you anyway? You're a turtle!

[azure turtle]

Oh ya! That's right! Hmmm....I guess a bone collection is okay, as long as turtles aren't involved. Did you try assembling the bones to resemble the animals? Just a thought.

[Skeletoncrew]

I never had that many. That would be cool though. I really love skeletons!

[azure turtle]

Heh, I would've never guessed that, Skeletoncrew!
*ducks any bappage*
I was being sarcastic!

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, duh!
I mean, I've always loved skeletons. There's something mysterious and beautiful about them.

[azure turtle]

Hmm....have you ever looked at any artwork by Georgia O'Keefe? I think she painted several pieces that focused on bull skulls. She's mainly known for her flower paintings (and how fallic those paintings are), but I remember learning that she did a series of bull skull paintings, some of them with flowers decorating the skulls. Good stuff.

[Skeletoncrew]

I am quite familiar with Georgia O'Keefe! She is an excellent artist.

[azure turtle]

Ya! I like Georgia O'Keefe, though my cousin thinks I'm strange since her work is so phallic. I didn't even realize it was phallic 'til she pointed that out to me. Oh well. I did get to see some of her work in person when I visited the national art gallery in D.C. That was one of the coolest trips I've ever been on.

[Skeletoncrew]

I can honestly say that I never noticed anything phallic about her work. I'll have to look again sometime. That reminds me, I need to visit the art museum here.

[azure turtle]

I didn't see anything phallic about her work, either. My cousin had to point it out to me, and that's when I realized the symbolism behind all of the flowers. That darn cousin, she ruined my virgin eyes.
And ya, you should visit the art museum! I'm not exactly an art buff, but I love looking at it. It's just a lot of fun for me :smile: I guess that's why I love fanart so much.

[HorseTechie]

Phallic art... hrmmm :razz:

Ooh... I'll have to admit I have a couple bones lying around too. In my senior year of HS, I was in advanced Biology class where we disected all kinds of critters.

One of them was a small shark, and the prof let us keep the jaws if we can dissect them out in one piece. (then he showed us how to make a bleach solution to soak it in so it would get that weathered white look).

Tramsformers... fighter jet... well, there were three that I know of. I had StarScream (White, blue, red) and Dirge (blue, copper, black). Forgot what the other dude was...

And my bro, he's weird. He did take his TFs from the box to play with em, or have them out on display. Now he's put them all back in the boxes and made it look like they were never taken out! :lol:

[azure turtle]

Hmmm....it seems that everyone has collected bones except me. I did have a shark tooth necklace once, but I don't know what happened to it.

Oh, and HorseTechie, tell your brother that his secret is safe with me. I won't squeal. :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

I collect shells, anything dolphin, and anything dinosaur-related. I have shark teeth too. :smile:

[azure turtle]

Shells! I used to collect shells. I wonder whatever happened to them. I had a whole big box full. I think they may still be lying in wait inside my closet.

[Machias Banshee]

I also have a big chunk of amethyst, obsidian, meteor, and lots of polished stones too.

[azure turtle]

No way, dudette! I collected rocks too! I've got a whole mess of 'em. I've got some Tiger's Eye, Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Pyrite, Agates, those geode things, and more that I can't even name. Oh, I do have some Sulfur in solid form, and it doesn't stink quite as much as you may think....

[Machias Banshee]

OM Fricking G! I have that stuff too! except sulfur. I had a geode slice, but it up and disappeared.Brother probly hid it on me, with the COOTS tape. :sad:

[azure turtle]

That's not very nice. You should plot some sort of revenge :evilgrin:

[Machias Banshee]

I have tried, but my efforts are fruitless. Its like the coyote and the roadrunner. everything blows up in my face or i fall off the cliff, so to speak.

[azure turtle]

I'm sorry to hear that. Maybe you should switch companies? I heard ACME wasn't very good. :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

hehehe... I cancelled my subscription to them years ago after an unfortnate incedent involving a grenade, a seesaw, a rabbit, and a barrel of velveeta.

[azure turtle]

Ah, smart move. The people working at ACME aren't very bright.

Velveeta? The cheese?
*drools*
I like cheese :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

It was surprising, but not traumatizing. 8I like cheese too *blush* *

[azure turtle]

Wow, we've got a lot in common....you don't happen to be a teenage mutant ninja turtle too, do you?
*eyes Machias suspiciously*

[Machias Banshee]

No, but i AM part reptile! :grin:

[azure turtle]

Egads! This is getting weird. :eek:

[Machias Banshee]

starts at page 7 of 'fun with mikey clone'.

Its my story of how i was used as a genetic guinea pig for inGen. Useage in future TMNT story in the works.

[azure turtle]

Ah, I see, I see. I never wandered into that thread for I feared what lurked within. :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

It is completely safe, i assure you. Splinter would skin us alive if we ever tried anything. :eek:

[Kali]

Yeah, we just got bored one night because some top posters were MIA, so we decided to clone them, so we could have someone to talk to. It's just a bunch of fun. Splinter was there for some of it.

[azure turtle]

Oh, okay. Sounds reasonable enough! Just don't try cloning me any time soon....I rather enjoy being the only azure turtle around :grin:

[Kali]

As long as you stay to keep us company, you'll stay the only blue turtle.

[Machias Banshee]

Yup. One particular turtle was PMSing about it. he hasnt been back since... but now we have another awesome turtle to hang out with. :grin:

[azure turtle]

*blushes crimson*
:oops:
Aww, thanks! It's so nice to be wanted!
*sniff, sniff*

[HorseTechie]

*sniggers* He actually believed me when I was joking about your clones? :evilgrin:

Damn.. I'm good! :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

you lost me... :???:

[azure turtle]

*hears HorseTechie snickering*

Hey.....what's so funny? And why do I have the sudden feeling that I'm in danger???

[Machias Banshee]

Dont worry, just read the thread, you will be protected by the forces of good.

[HorseTechie]

erm... well, back it the early pages of the "New guy in the corner" I warned Nunchuker n Azure about Manchas and Kali's clones. Now Azure sounded leary about the whole clones idea...

Is it clearing up now?

[Kali]

Yes. I just didn't recognize the referance.

[azure turtle]

Ah, I was blind, but now I see! Thanks for the reminder, HT!

[Machias Banshee]

Theyre fine, dont worry about them... If they try anything, tell me and i'll 'nail them to the wall'.

[HorseTechie]

owch!

*HT raises her electro-charged pitchfork* You bet they know better than to mess with me. *bwwwwhheeehahahhehehehaaa*

[azure turtle]

*slowly steps away from HorseTechie*
Oy, time to switch to decaf, dudette....:smile:

[Kali]

You can always sick Cyborg Don on 'em too, HT. :smile:

[HorseTechie]

:evilgrin:

[SPEEd]

I like it! Just love it.

[HorseTechie]

And now, Speed's spam run resurect's this old thing. maybe... I could use it to my advantage.

*clears throat - braces herself for the uproar it may cause*

I've been thinking... I seriously do not have anything personal against Machias and Kali's TMNT clones.

I only find it displaced, and that it's often a few pages long at a time. It's good we agreed to keep the TMNT topics clear of of these now. But yet, in true definition... the acting with the clones is actually ROLE PLAYING.

I suggest, if a new folder under the TMNT fanworks could be made just for your guys clone RP's.

And I guess we can make up other folders there too for paintball and squirt gun wars. That way, we'll know what to expect in each thread a little more. And we'll know which thread it was in.

:goofygri:

[azure turtle]

Hmmm....that sounds like a good idea, HT! Then we'll know what's happening in each thread. It's getting kinda hard to keep track of where a conversation took place...
*le sigh*

[SPEEd]

How are you going to use it to your advantage?

[enigma-1]

I don't collect many, but I have a few X-men and Transformers that my brother gave me.
