The Mystery of the Mango

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Okay, I have a question for all you veterans of these forums.

What is up with the mango? Why is a mango given to the new members? Why do only certain people get to hand them out? How many posts do you have to have posted before you earn that privledge?

I am not saying this in a negative way, but I am curious as to how this all started.

I want to be able to hand out mangoes, too! *Stamps feet like a four-year old* :evil:

what the hell are you talking about???

wheres my mango?????? im new, no mango for me you see

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

what the hell are you talking about???

The mango is the official welcome that every new member is given to celebrate their arrival to the forums. It's like a "rite of passage" sort of thing.

Only certain members of the forum are able to officially hand them out. It is considered an honor to be given a mango.

Ah, you want to hear the origins of the Mango...very well, follow me...

*enters small room, a golden Mango sitting on a pedestal. Sits down, clears throat and begins.*

The origins of the mango stretch all the way back to March or April of Last Year. a young woman was aassigned a task. A very arduous task, that took much discipline. She studied the life, religions, and traditions of a foreign land, and brought back something to share with her fellow students...a mango. It was part of a sacred recipe, called "Lassi Aamwali" or approriately called, 'Mango Lassie". She was well rewared in her task, and recieved myuch praise from both her elders and equals. In her joy, she decided to spread her wealth of information. She came to this very forum, and became closely acquainted with an unusual creature of great enthusiasm and kindness. She shared her knowledge with him, and thus the giving of a mango as gift was born. Thie tradition has continued for eons (well, months) and now it has become the normal tradition for a newcomer to be given the gift of a mango, and thus pay homage to that historic day. Anyone can give a mango, but use in moderation. Now you know the origins, and now you may know who that young woman was who brought about the tradition...*raises a candle to her face, and she smiles*

Welcome to the forums, and have a mango...
*gives the newcomers a ango of welcome*

[Kali]

*claps for Machias' wonderful story telling* Yes, it was Machias who first introduced mangos to the forum, in the form of the mango lassie's, and Azure took such a liking to them that he became obsessed with the mango. He grows his own now, to eat and give to people. There are welcome mangos, healing mangos, blue mangos, and mangos that give you special powers like talking to sawdust, just to name a few.

Anyone may give out mangos, provided they know where to find them. Most of them are in Azure's secret room, and only he and I know how to get there. However, if you wish to give out welcome mangos, feel free. *gives out mangos to everyone*

Dont forget the new Manoges i brought back from the summer
*pulls a "special Mango" from her pocket, the colors changing at her slightest touch*
These are the greates mangoes i've ever found...You can rub it, and wish for something, and it could come true, OR you can ask it to let you fly. A mango only has about three wishes, and it can decide if a wish is good or bad, and it allows straight flying for about ten minutes at a time...have one :D
*gives out "Special Mangoes"*

[Nturtle]

SPECIAL MANGOS!!!! :o Yipes!!! *grabs one and takes a chomp out of it* hey theres nothing special about thismango

*thud* :dead:

[prowler4]

Please be weary of wut you say about the mangos. They are going through a though time scince they just got out of slavery! :D (Nturtle remembers :P )

[Machias Banshee]

*arches eyeridge at Prowler* Mangoes in slavery? This is a land of Mango-nese peace and harmony...

[prowler4]

Oh yea? Don't you remember the post were you reprimanded me for saying the b word? That whole post was about the mango revolution against their captures!!!

[Machias Banshee]

*taps Prowler with her cane* I reprimanded you for your language, not the mango revolution that was taking place...

[Nturtle]

um.... what? you lost me way back when.... :dead:

[prowler4]

I know that, but you said mango harmony? It's important for the new young lad to know that mango life was not all rosey and bright! That they couldn't always snuggle in their beds on a cold winter's night! That the day Roseanne went off the air everyone cheered till the cows came home! NO! The mangos have had a hard life. The evil bums who enslaved them never thought of the mango's feelings, but now they are our favorite gift to new members! THE MANGOS ARE BACK BABY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Deathknight]

How come I never got a mango!!!!!!!!! I want a mango after my first post RIGHT NOW! hehe

[Machias Banshee]

*hands DK a mango*

[Nturtle]

With the rights invested in me by the state mango affiliation I here by present this mango to Deathknight *hands deathknight a mango wearing bridal dress* satisfied? :P

Heh.. well, thanks to them, I have eaten three fresh mangos this summer. I never touched one before that. :wink:
Heh heh... Yes, HT was blessed by the great mango gods. :anime:

Ooooh!! This thread intrigues me! Yes, Machias introduced the mango lassie. And after that, the mango became the food of choice at the Technodrome! I have spread the message of the great mango everywhere! It now appears in several other places as well. :evilgrin: After the mango, many other types of welcome gifts were created, such as apples, watermelons, pears, and pineapples, but nothing comes close to the mango!

Oh yes, one more thing. Happy birthday, DK! Here's my gift to you.

Remember to carry this with you always! And we've got potlucks on Thursdays!!! :anime: Wait, I didn't show you the secret hand shake yet, did I??
*performs the secret handshake with a confused Tiger*
There, easy, right? It's a secret, so don't show it to someone who is not part of the cult. :lol:

*turns to NTCF*
I have many orchards! :D Some secret, some in plain view. You just have to search the Technodrome a bit.

I guess I can't convince GW. Ah well, a freelance mango muncher is better than nothing. ;)

So, the mango is for new comers, right?

Where's my mango? :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :-?

[R-iZZy]

*holds a bucket of counterfeit mangos* exactly! i still have the rare golden mango of patience from azure. it's been a looong time since i had this mango. oh... and my silver one was for being funny or something like that.

*looks at counterfeit mangos* these mangos are kinda stolen. shhhh, don't tell anybody though. only the millions browsing this forum must know, now keep it a secret!

[Machias Banshee]

*towers over NTN, with arms folded, cane in hand*
May i see those mangoes, please...

[Kali]

*hands Hunter Green a genuine welcome mango* Well, see, you showed up in the RPG forum, and we don't usually do welcomes there. We're still very happy you came aboard though.

[azure turtle]

*gasp*
I forgot someone! But yes, welcomes are usually kept off of the RPG forums. So here, have a nice blue mango in addition to Kali's welcome mango. :D
*gives Hunter a blue mango*
Now, I can't believe Ninja Nin kept all of the mangos I've given him! :eek: Must people usually eat them... I am honored.

[Machias Banshee]

*Glomps Azure as she gives Hunter Green a Mango of Welcome*
Grr, you beat me to it...oh well...Welcome to the forums! :goofygri:

[azure turtle]

*gets up and dusts himself off*
Ack! Your glomp caught me by surprise!

[Machias Banshee]

I strike hard, but didnt fade away... :)

yeesh, i've been into the RPG so much, i rarely ever get over here to read everything! :P

[azure turtle]

Yup, you're not around here as much as usual. :(

[Machias Banshee]

what can i say? I'm addicted... :P Heh, i'm here for hours on end, but i stay mainly in the RPG thread...

[Nturtle]

with school and all I can't be here nearly as much as I like, but I try :ohwell:

[Storm Wolf]

hmmmm.....I sacrifice my lunch period on weekdays and stay up untill like 4:oo A.M. to get my time on the net......My RPG's take up much of my net time. :|

[R-iZZy]

*flees from scene with the bucket of counterfeit mangos, but pegs Machias with one* ha ha... you'll never catch me, piggy!

[Kali]

*chuckles* As for when I'm here... It differs day to day depending on my schedule. And when I'm on I'm usually bouncing back and forth between quite a few forums and sites.

[Machias Banshee]

*catches NTN in a headlock*

You were saying...?

[RESOL]

I'm new and I haven't gotten a mango yet. (j/k)

[Nturtle]

Hey anybody hear about this humongoso bird supposedly spotted in Alaska!! it is said to have a wing-span of 14 feet!!!!!! thats a HUGE bird!! at first it was mistaken for a small air plane, they say it may just be a hoax but lots of people have seen it by now or it may be thier imaginations. But thats one hell of a bird no doubt!!

Ok I'm done my rambelings :P

[azure turtle]

*gives resol a mango of welcome*
All ya had to do was ask! ;)

A giant bird?!! Good gracious! Can you imagine the size of the droppings that come out of that thing?! :eek:

[Nturtle]

:lol: makes the local pigeon droppngs look like diddly squat!!! :o
I really would like to see a picture of it if its real, the biggest birds are condors, they grow up to 10 feet!!

[azure turtle]

What kind of bird could possibly grow that large?? Yeah, I always thought pigeons made a mess... I'm glad giant birds like that don't exist on campus. :eek:

[GreenWillow]

~Oh I meant to tune into Art Bell last night. Mysterious giant birds from Alaska are his forte.
Unlike mysterious giant turtles..... :P

~GW

[R-iZZy]

*pushes Machias away and continues to run, but slips on a mango* my goodness, i wish i could get away with something. azure, can i have the mango of luck (if that exists)?

[Storm Wolf]

*laughs at NTN*
now would't it be funny if you actually got away with something?

[Nturtle]

yeah, if he did he wouldn't know what to do!! :lol:
Birds of 14 feet havent been around for 100,000 years or so... condors do live in California but they are very rare. The biggest bird I've seen is an american eagle they can grow from 6 to 8 feet sometimes I think

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

*turns to NTCF*
I have many orchards! :D Some secret, some in plain view. You just have to search the Technodrome a bit.

Um, Azure, you may want to take a look at this.

*Holds a faded steel pale, with glowing golden mangos*

Are these things supposed to be glowing? They're not going to blow up are they? You see, I followed this rainbow through the forest, and this is what I found when it ended.

I've never seen glowing golden mangos before!

*Eyes grow wide with wonder*

"Michaelangelo, I think you've finally had one pizza too many." - Raphael, from "A Thing About Rats"

[azure turtle]

Glowing golden mangos?! Hmm... That's a new one for me. I've got gold ones, but not glowing gold ones. Say... You didn't steal those from the Mango Elves, didja?? :eek:

[Nturtle]

uh-oh.. you better not of!! otherwise they willl send thier ballistic mago pixies of death here!!!! :o

[Spike The Xenomorph]

You mango stealer you!

[Machias Banshee]

Its not a bird...Its one of the escaped Pteradons.... :P


Hmm, Nturtle....*motions him to come over, putting an arm around his shoulder* let's talk.....

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Ptranadons are here? Better tell Storm Owl so he can shoot them down.
*Shaking nervously* I HATE ptranadons! They're ugly, smelly,...............uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... ...............................& they smell, too.

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Glowing golden mangos?! Hmm... That's a new one for me. I've got gold ones, but not glowing gold ones. Say... You didn't steal those from the Mango Elves, didja?? :eek:

That's what those little creatures were? Cool! At least I know what to call them now.

No, they just gave them to me. There was this mango city at the end of the rainbow, and the Mango Elves greeted me in their native mango tongue. They later told me their city was called Mangolopolus.

But the Mango Elves said that every person who can reach the end of the rainbow is awarded with golden glowing mangos. When I mentioned Azure, the Mango Elves got this surprised look on their faces. They were like, "The legend of Azure Turtle is real? He is not just a legend?"

And I said, "No way, my little ones! He is alive and well. You should come back with me to the Technodrome and meet him."

But they were too busy at the moment. There was a Mangoball tournament going on, and they had to bake Mango Cakes for all the spectators.

The Mango Elves never said what to do with these golden glowing mangos. Do you think they have magical powers?

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Uhhhhh.................................R U OK?

I'm not sure. Ever since I joined this forum a couple of months ago, the weirdest things have been happening to me . . .

But those Mango Elves were real, I tell you. I have a hard time believing in Mango Cakes, however. I just don't think that is possible.

bout what?

[azure turtle]

*bursts out laughing*
So, the mango elves have heard of me. I didn't know I was a legend to them... Heh heh. Perhaps I should pay them a visit. :anime:

And yeah, they're quite magical, NTCF. Gotta watch out for the mango powers.

[Nturtle]

yes they have!! *wheels in 40 foot statue of Azure made by elves* they think of you as a freckin' celebirty!!!

[Kali]

*looks up at the statue* Well, we already knew he was cool, though.

[azure turtle]

*blushes crimson*
Aww... I should send the elves a thank you note.
*hugs Kali*
Nah, you're the cool one, dudette! :anime:

[Kali]

Nah, I'm the hot one!

*collapses in giggles* Sorry, I didn't mean that seriously, I was goofing. I'm about as hot as ice. *hugs Azure back*

[azure turtle]

LOL! Glad to see that you're in a much better mood. :D

[Kali]

Oh yes, much better mood. Washed my hands of a few things, so all's good.

*taps on the statue* What's this made of?

[Nturtle]

solidified oatmeal, the usual stuff Mango elves use to build thier stuff...

[GreenWillow]

~Sooooooo...is someone gonna draw a pic of these Mango Elves? I keep getting this Keebler-influenced visual and I suspect they are actually a lot more rosy- hued than that.

~GW...what?

[Nturtle]

:lol: ...and they wear funny hats and bake mango cookies :D

[HorseTechie]

Yeah... while I'm thinking or littler versions of Legolas. ... Or Link from Zelda! :P

[Nturtle]

:lol: Did you see the new Two Towers trailer that was AWESOME!!! I'm not sure which I like better the books or the movies :D

[HorseTechie]

Ooo yeah.. it was just excellent! Like Braveheart too, but better. 52 days to go! :D

[Nturtle]

:lol: you're counting down!! it comes out in christmas right? can't wait to see treebeard :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

~Sooooooo...is someone gonna draw a pic of these Mango Elves? I keep getting this Keebler-influenced visual and I suspect they are actually a lot more rosy- hued than that.

~GW...what?
ROFL!! Gee... I don't know what the mango elves look like. I've never seen 'em in person. :goofygri:

[Nturtle]

then how the heck do they know you?!

[Kali]

Because he's a legend! Like a sports legend, you've probably never met them, and they probably don't know you exist. Though they officially made an appearance in the Golden Mango RR story.

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

There are more things going on with those little elves than we know about. Trust me.

Everything is alive in their forest.

[Kali]

*blinks* Does that mean they know about us? His friends? The same way our myths and legends have minor characters? Trippy.

[Nturtle]

Great I'm a minor character *pouts*

[Kali]

:roll: Oh, you know I didn't mean it like that. I'm included in that group too, ya know. Well, if they semi-worship Azure, I guess there's a place in their pantheon for us too, right? Wonder what our roles are.

[Nturtle]

probebley somewhere along the lines of side kicks, aquantices, helpers and of course villans :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

Geez... All this talk about me is making me nervous. Stop that! :razz:

Let's talk about the legendary Nturtle and his journeys in the ventilator shafts of Mangoria. ;)

[Storm Wolf]

*walks up to Nturtle in little girl form and tugs at his fingers*
oooo....teel me pwease abowt your adevntours!
*sits indian styl in front of Nturtle and continues to lick her lollipop*

[Nturtle]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

*takes out a big pipe and rocking chair* well little girl... it all began long ago in my youthul pursuit for adventure and glory. I got lost on the path and missed the bridge or Irco in a massive storm. Dazed, hungry and lost I stumbled forwrd unknowingly now only trying to stay alive... It was cold and wet I felt heavy and ached all over. but I pressed on until I stumbled across an anchient Noopo path, a race of intellegent llama like creatures who after many years of war had long since dissapeared... I followed the beaten up path, lacking any other direction to go. It led me to the home of a heroic 1964 cattillac who gave me food and a map. But the night I was staying with him a band of monsterous pears assaulted the home killing my new friend. I ran as far as I could, but they followed me in hot pursit. thats when I found a last hope, the ventilator shaft of Mangoria. Climbing in I decived the pears and crawled away. but my troubles had just started....

After many days of heroic efforts I realized I was really freckin' lost....
so I buckled up and countinued crawling, only leading myself deeper ino the labeinth!! I then reached a fork in the ventilator, 3 diffrent paths to take, I intitially took the path to the left, oh what a fool I was!! Only 5 feet inward, the shaft turned into a gigantic turtle eating penguin!! I being the higly trained proffessional I am, quickly analyzed the situation, looking for weak points in my enemy and analyizing my position I saw only one solution, I ran around in circles screaming like a little girl... yes it was only what any noble warrior would do. But strategy was futile on the beast, it snached me off the ground and poped me into its mouth like one would do to a kernel of popcorn.

Soon I found my self covered in Penguin digestive fluids and acids, one of the grossest experiences of my life. Well at least thats what I thought until I came out of the penquin (no further explentation nessicary) I fled the scene as soon as I got out and even all the baths in the world have not completely gotten rid of the smell. But the ventilator shafts of Mangoria are not kind!! Only the tough survive, the kind of tough like getting beaten down by an entire varsity football team armed with cricket bats kind of tough... which is precisely what happened next.

But I wasn't ready to give up yet, I wasn't about to crawl up into my shell. I crawled through those ventilators for days, weeks, months, I lost track of time at all, there was no sunlight and the air stunk of dust, corpses and penguin guano. In my pursuit of adventure though I had only run into misfortunes, misfortunes which had not yet ended at all as I learned when enountering my own deepest personal fear: Sumo Winston Churchill armed to the brink with yak hair whips.

This was not a battle which I will ever forget, those yak hairs still sting today!! and even all the blows I layed on him were to no avail, his fat gelatinous stomach absorved my punches and kicks causing racist slurs to spill out of his mouth. conventional attacks were inneffective, I had to rethink my strategy... I took my most prized weapon, the ballistic play-doh hamster and, flung it into my enemy's mouth as more right wing rhetoric was spilling out. Blew him into smitheriens.

With the explosion a hole was made in the wall, which opened up into this magical place called "the technodrome forums" and so since I have dwelt. But the restless heart of an adventure still beats in me, and may it beat in you too child. And for generations to come may it always remain.

the End.
:P

[Kali]

Ooh, I know my role! I'm Azure's loyal, charming, would-be seducer, friend. I am the only being capable of resisting the mango's power. Therefore, I am the voice of reason. I am also the temptress trying to lead Azure astray from his bright mango path with promises of power and pleasure. However, I do this only because I believe it would be in his best intrest. I have many aspects, many faces, like any true goddess of myth. :P

Where would I fall, hmmm... maybe as a supporting character who every so often gets involved and gets in trouble. But generally has good intentions and can get grumpy

[Storm Owl]

Uh huh.......

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Tell us ugain!

Pweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez?

*Begins pouting & steals Nturtle's pipe*

Yummy! *Eats the pipe*

*Gives Nturtle a small piece of the pipe back*

Thanx!

You shouldn't be smoking, ya know! Bad influence on the kids!

[Nturtle]

yes cigrettes and drugs are bad for you children, but when you reach my age you can smoke big pipes to look wise and retrospective :P

I will tell another story of my journies when I have too much free time again

[azure turtle]

Wow! That was quite an amazing tale, Nturtle! So that's how you ended up in the Technodrome... Weird, eh?

I think Kali's description matches her well. Now I must flee before she can come up with any ideas. :embarass:

*Ahem* I for one, do not like mangos. You're not the ONLY one around here capable of resisting their power. You're also not the only temptress. :wink:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Mangos are good!

They are delish & nutrish! Taste just like chicken!

They help yer bones grow big and strong

[Skeletoncrew]

Mangos taste like pine trees! Yuck!

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Pine thees.........................................ahhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......................... .....................*drooling*

Ah, yes, I forgot that SC matches that discription as well. Ah, figures like us often show up in pairs or more in mythology anyway. :P

[Spike The Xenomorph]

??? ok?

[Nturtle]

how can you not like mangos!!!???!!! :o :x they are so yummy and scrumptious!!! they don't tast a bit like pine trees, sure some mangos grown here is florida and mexico aren't great bbut try Alphonzo mangos!!!! :tpizza: YUM!!! :D

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Mangos are nummy! Taste great w/ ketchup & relish, & Twi'lek's

(When mixed together as a roast that is) lol

[Kali]

*shrugs* I've just never had a mango, so I don't know what they taste like. I never said I didn't like them, just that I was resistant to whatever power they hold over the rest of you.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Mangos have power?

[Storm Wolf]

*comes back after playing tag with the other yunguns*

LT: Mnagos is yummy, but not with ketchup....thats icky mr. Spike!

*whips out her mango flavored lolipops*

LT: any bowdy want one?

[Kali]

*watches the small child wearily* Yes, mangos have power. Some will give you special powers, like flight or the ability to talk to sawdust. Mostly, they just make people want to eat them.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Can I have one, please?

[Storm Wolf]

*hands spike a lollipop*

LT: ooooooo.....mangos cam make you fwy?

*looks at Kali with sparkling interested eyes*

LT: I want to Fwy....but I'm to young :cry:

*gets a dreamy look as she licks her lollipop*

LT: One day I will fwy as high as teh twees though!

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I can have Her Majesty send you a rocket pack or fairy dust from the Never Never Land if ya want!

[Storm Wolf]

LT: WOW....realwy?
*hugs spike*
LT:Yay!.....I'm gonna fwy!!!!

*stretches out her arms and flaps like a bird while running aroun in circles*

[Spike The Xenomorph]

*calls his queen up on the phone & orders the plane*

She says it'll be here in 2 hours!

[Storm Wolf]

*Smiles Wide*
LT:OH, boi!

*Tiger Walks in looking quite angry and worried*
T: there you are! I've been looking all over for you....hope you haven't been causing any trouble again!

*Tiger grabs LT by the hand*
T: its way past your curfew young lady! So comon say goodnight to spike and everyone else...you can fly tomorrow.

LT: awwwww....but I reawly wanted to FWY!

T:no protest....to bed with you! *lloks at spike* sorry if she caused any trouble, maybe she can stop by and play another time!

LT: Good nite mr. spike.....goodnight ms. Kali! and good night to everwy one else!

T: yes good nite to you all....for I must retire myself aswell!

*grabs LT by the hand and begins to lead her out of the thread*

[Spike The Xenomorph]

No trouble at all.

She can come & talk any time she wants!

[Storm Wolf]

T: (yells) ok she will stop in, she can't get enough of Nturtles stories!

[Spike The Xenomorph]

see ya tomorrow yall!

[Skeletoncrew]

how can you not like mangos!!!???!!! :o :x they are so yummy and scrumptious!!! they don't tast a bit like pine trees, sure some mangos grown here is florida and mexico aren't great bbut try Alphonzo mangos!!!! :tpizza: YUM!!! :D

Every mango I've eatten has had a distinct pine flavor to it. I don't always notice it at first, but once I do, they lose their appeal. I'd rather have a good apple, golden kiwi, honey tangerine, papaya, forbidden fruit, or pear any day!

Ah, yes, I forgot that SC matches that discription as well. Ah, figures like us often show up in pairs or more in mythology anyway.

Damn straight! My favorite Celtic Goddesses seem to come in multiples. Macha, Morrigan, and more. You can never have too much of a good thing! :D [/quote]

[Storm Wolf]

hmmmm.....I kinda have to make mango my favorite fruit.....Kiwi and pinapple which are mt two favorites I am allergic to :cry:

Mangos my third favorite.....but since I can't eat thoes it's mango!

*LT pops in behind Tiger*
LT: mangos are yummy yummy! Bettew than spinich or bwussel sprowts!

[HorseTechie]

*lol* Yeah.. the three mangoes I've eaten had a pine aroma about them too. But then they tasted kinda like a peach crossed with a persimmon and a pineapple. I decisded it was the skin on it that made it smell like pine needles.

[Machias Banshee]

I usually dont eat the skin....I get them cut with juice in glass jars...making the lassies with vanilla yogurt helps give it a more pleasant taste.... :goofygri: :D

[Spike The Xenomorph]

the skin is the best part though!

[Skeletoncrew]

I never eat the skin when I do eat mangos.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Y?

[Skeletoncrew]

And they still taste like pine!

[Spike The Xenomorph]

No they don't.

[Skeletoncrew]

Our taste buds will just have to agree to disagree on this issue.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Ok! I agree to that! lol

[Nturtle]

eating mango skin? yech!!! :dead: you aren't supposed to do that!!! you use vanilla yougurt for lassies Machias? its more traditional to use butter milk but, hey nothings wrong with that :D

[Spike The Xenomorph]

what does that have to do w/ mangoes?

[azure turtle]

Ech... Even I don't eat the mango skin! :dead:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Mango skin........................tastes like DIGIYUMS!

[azure turtle]

Digiyums!! Haven't had those yet. Sounds good... :evilgrin:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Nothing beats a Gatomon sandwich!

Well except........................*looks around to make sure the mango fairies aren't nearby & within ear shot* Mango Fairy kabobs!

[Nturtle]

how does what relate to mangos? lassies? well, there are mango lassies and Machias was talking about them and I was just giving some helpful cooking tips :P

[Kameko]

:roll:

[Storm Wolf]

Hmmmm.....spike sure has wierd taste....don't think I'ver ever had gatomon sandwhich!

[GreenWillow]

~Me either, but I am seriously worried about this Fairy Kabob thing..... <shudder>

~GW

[Spike The Xenomorph]

You aren't a mango fairy, are you Green Willow?

Kitties are NUMMY!

Taste like chicken!

[HorseTechie]

But I didn't EAT the skin (or fairy kabobs)! The juice of the pine-sol fresh skin was making the rest of it taste... piney.

*looks at picture again*
http://www.geocities.com/azureturtle21/mango_mutant01.gif
*looks at Azure*

Whaddya mean you don't eat the skin? Looks like you were eating it there! :P :lol:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................. :-? :-? :-? :-?

[Nturtle]

*taps link* hey this think has gone bust...

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Need a replacement? *hands Nturtle a replacement cord*

[Kali]

:P Try copying and pasting the link into the address bar. Geocities, like many free servers, doesn't allow direct linking. Go, copy and paste, it's a funny pic!

[enigma-1]

:-?

[Nturtle]

*grabs the cord* okay!! stand back!! this is delicate surgery!!! *zapps link with posotron defibulators*

[Ninja Turtles Cartoon Fan]

Oh, no. Nturtle is playing with electricity. Somebody get that cord away from him!

ZZZAAAAAAPPP

Whoops! Too late. :)

[Skeletoncrew]

How cute! I love the expression on his face! Pure bliss!

[HorseTechie]

*wonders then if Azure's mangos don't have that funky pine flavor*

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Cool! So THAT'S what a turtle looks like on electrons!!!

[Nturtle]

:lol: is that kali over there? the girl with tiny horns?

thats a great picture

[HorseTechie]

yeah... and the other chic is me in human form. :P (but the pic was drawn by Amanda)

[Nturtle]

I see :lol: yes it is strange that he would be eating the skin :tconfuse:

[azure turtle]

Narf... I guess I do eat the skins every now and then. :embarass:

Heh heh... I love that sketch Amanda did! She's so talented! 'Specially loved her recent "newbie" drawing... :evilgrin:

[Machias Banshee]

LOL, i love the newbie one! :lol: I could see Azure doing something like that... :P

[enigma-1]

Oh boy. :roll: :P

[azure turtle]

LOL, i love the newbie one! :lol: I could see Azure doing something like that... :P
Heh heh... You're givin' me ideas. :evilgrin:

[Nturtle]

huh? whats this newbie drawing? I don't think I've seen it yet :(

[Kali]

Ooh, let me see... *goes digging through her bookmarks* Bwaha!
http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.com/misc_pics/mango_welcome_shower01.gif

It's posters from Mikey's TMNT forums: Kali(me), Azure, Human HT, Amandatello(with her duct tape smile I gave her), and Sango. Oh, yes, and some poor newbie in the background.

[Nturtle]

ROTFLWL!!!!!!!!!!!

thats hillarious!!!! :lol: poor newbie.... :P

[R-iZZy]

HELP THE NEWBIE OUT!!!

[azure turtle]

LOL!!! Heh... I just love that drawing. I still laugh every time I see it! :anime: Amanda makes the funniest comic strips.

[Nturtle]

:lol: its true though!! we scare or suffacaate so many newbies :P

[HorseTechie]

Yeah... only the really tough ones seem to survive our frantic posts. :goofygri:

[azure turtle]

LOL! You've got a point, HT. :embarass:

[GreenWillow]

Ooh, let me see... *goes digging through her bookmarks* Bwaha!
http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.com/misc_pics/mango_welcome_shower01.gif



~Ohhh missed this one! :lol: That is too wonderful!
Amanda you could prolly run a cartoon strip in the newspaper--start with yer local rag and see if you don't get syndicated. That's how Lynn Johnson ("For Better or for Worse") and Kathy of "Kathy" got started and god knows, you draw better than either of them!

~GW

[Skeletoncrew]

Yeah... only the really tough ones seem to survive our frantic posts. :goofygri:

Well, we've gotta thin the herd somehow! :P

[Nturtle]

Its like evolution: survival of the fittest, the ones who survive the mango test :P

[azure turtle]

ROFL!! You speak the truth, Nturtle! :D

~GW

Aw thanks GW!

I've seen 'for better or for worse' and I totally loved their style! Wasn't there someone called April in that strip? Anyway I'm on AIM right now and it was Azure who told me you guys were talking about my drawings so I headed over here and I'm shocked. Thanks for all the great compliments guys!

I was looking into sending a resume into Disney Animation Studios here in Australia (where they made Lion King 2, Peter Pan 2, some gargoyle eps) but sorta gave up. But I got this offer from this woman who's writing a children's book if I'd illustrate for her! She saw some drawings I did on a plastic tablecloth for my little nieces Halloween themed b'day party. (which were terrible drawings I might add)

I would like to make my own comic strip. I'm practising right now with a more story based with that webcomic of mine (Plushie Peril) but these little humour strips are really fun to do 'cos I'm used to fretting about the panel layouts etc in PP where as with these short things I can joke around a lot more.

Someone told me that other day I should get into political cartoons (like what the hell do I know about world politics?!?) So I guess it's tmnt fan politics is what I do. As long as people enjoy them, I'll keep doin' them :)

I'm actually posting another strip tomorrow which I sure is gonna piss of a certain someone that I'm picking on them :p

Pfft! Hey, they begged me to put them in a strip. So I did exactly what they asked.

Amanda

[azure turtle]

Yay, the wonderful artist herself has stopped by! :anime:

Definitely go for the Disney job, dudette! I think you're a shoe-in for it! And I also think you should illustrate that woman's book... Then I can buy a copy and tell everyone "Hey, I know the artist who drew all these cool pictures!" :D

[HorseTechie]

*looks innocent* More to the power of the mango skin (that I bring forht Amanda's strips).

But yeah.. I think yo have a great sense of comic strip humor too, Amanda. Your humor is more along the lines of Calvin and Hobbes or FoxTrot. Or... the Far Side! :P

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Comic strip? Go for a whole book!
I'm makin a comic strip/cartoon myself ya know, well, in the process, that is.
(Big difference, I know. Also note that the chance of my cartoon actually be allowed will be almost ludicrus! I made a script though, but I worry about the same thing) <- //Talkin to myself//
I know this may sound wierd but where can I find those strips you've made?
I wanna see them!

[Storm Wolf]

Yeah... only the really tough ones seem to survive our frantic posts.

:D I'm glad I survived...though I don't think I was suffocated by mangos either :lol:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Death: Suffocation

Cause: Mango Revolution

LOL

(Sorry if this disturbs any1)

[Nturtle]

I made it in here before the began the mango craze, so I'm lucky!! :D

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Join the confusion then!

*hands Nturtle the golden glowing mango of rejoicing*

[Anonymous]

Well I finally did that strip I said before.

http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.com/misc_pics/streakin_deal01.gif

I'm gonna start compiling these little strips on my fan comics page on my site (http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.com/comics.html) i got a few more ideas for strips in mind ;)

Amanda

[azure turtle]

ROFL!!! :lol:

Great job as always, Amanda! You already know how much I enjoyed this one! :anime:

[Storm Wolf]

Awwww....that is so cute!! :lol:

I love the way thier drawn, it excellent!

[HorseTechie]

:tsurpris: :teek: :tanime: :tlol:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

That was TIGHT!!!

You should write more!!!

Love the way the chars were drawn!!!

LUV IT!!!

[Storm Wolf]

It would seem that there are many talented people on this forum, and not just artist either...I would share my talent, but I really am not sure if I'm that great, trying to make it as a writer is hard...currently I'm trying to con some of my buds to sketch scenes from some of my stories and RP's, I figured...hey if I can make it as a writer they can make it as an artist.

[Mouse]

:o you guys have nekkid people running in this RPG thread??? :o
:-? now i have seen everything :-?

[GreenWillow]

~Amanda-- that is wonderful! Is that Mikey and Sango and HT? I'm not sure who is seated there with the newspaper.
But I sure recognise Jeph! lol!

~GW

[HorseTechie]

And I thought I was the one who had recoccuring dreams about being in public nekkid. :goofygri:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I had reocurring dreams I was in a giant rubix cube.

[azure turtle]

~Amanda-- that is wonderful! Is that Mikey and Sango and HT? I'm not sure who is seated there with the newspaper.
But I sure recognise Jeph! lol!

~GW
Psst... GW, the figure with the newspaper (I think Amanda told me that it's actually a comic book) is the artist herself. ;)

I've never been trapped in a Rubix Cube. Just in an aquarium... :embarass:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

It was alot of FUN! You couldn't wake up unless youy get out & if you are fast enough, you get to put yer name in the top 10 list

[azure turtle]

Sounds like a scary dream... At least I was able to get out of the aquarium without too much trouble! The only puzzle involved was trying to figure out a way to use the plants as ladders. :embarass:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

That sounds like fun!!! :)

[Nturtle]

huh? I've been gone too long... oh well *takes out a lawn chair and a mango lassie*

[Spike The Xenomorph]

*Begins humming the theme song to Lassie Come Home*

[GreenWillow]

Psst... GW, the figure with the newspaper (I think Amanda told me that it's actually a comic book) is the artist herself. ;)


~Ahhh...ok. Well, see? She went and changed her hairdo and messed me all up...
"...messed me all up..." Hrm. Why does tht sound so grammatically wong?

~GW

[azure turtle]

LOL! 'S okay, GW. Don't dwell on it for too long. Grab a lawn chair and join us for some mango meditation! :anime:

[Anonymous]

Psst... GW, the figure with the newspaper (I think Amanda told me that it's actually a comic book) is the artist herself. ;)


~Ahhh...ok. Well, see? She went and changed her hairdo and messed me all up...

Hey, a girls gotta let her hair down once in a while!

Psst! GW, I gotta pic of you and Kali for that idea I had ;)

[azure turtle]

*raises an eyeridge*
Eh...? What's all this whispering about?

[Anonymous]

Well it started when I got an idea for my webcomic and asked Kali and GW for permission to use their online alter egos for these characters that appear in it. I just uploaded the pic now.

http://amandatello.thetechnodrome.com/misc_pics/gw_kali_sin01.gif

Amanda

[Kali]

Bwahahahaha! I LOVE it! :evilgrin: :lol: Great work as always, Amanda. *snicker*

[GreenWillow]

~Hee hee! That is really cute!
And it does rather look as though I could use a little soothing Mango Meditation.....
Can't wait to see more of the comic!


~GW

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I wish I could draw as well as you! I'm trying to draw my own characters but they keep looking like something out of a cheesy horror flick.

[HorseTechie]

*snigger* That one is so Raph onto Leo-ish too...


... oh, hay, anyone else have a dream they were trapped inside a monitor, in a forum? :tanime:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

not yet!

[Nickokapo]

*snigger* That one is so Raph onto Leo-ish too...


... oh, hay, anyone else have a dream they were trapped inside a monitor, in a forum? :tanime:
Yes, once i was so worried 'cause i thought i wouldn't have internet anymore that i dreamed i was inside irc...it was like buildings with text all over em, and later i've gone to the ninja turtles network forum (the old one =P ) it was a big green field with some giant action figures...then i woke up, it was one of the weirdest dreams i've ever had :blanksta:

[HorseTechie]

oh yeah.. I had one that I was at these forums, and then (if anyone had seen Minority Report), I could see through the text in white and other colors on the smokey pane of glass of the monitor to the outside world. Wierd indeed.... :tsurpris:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

That sounds cool. Have any of you been inside the stomach of a human before? Now THAT'S creepy!

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm... no.

I hadn't met Dr. Hannibal Lector yet.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Very funny........................ :trolleye:

[Nickokapo]

That sounds cool. Have any of you been inside the stomach of a human before? Now THAT'S creepy!
Naw i don't recall having a dream like that...sounds weird :teek:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Yeah! So I had to perform a C-sectomy on her to get out.

[Nickokapo]

:lol: ouch...wouldn't it be easier for her/him/it/whatever to drink a bit of lax-o-matic? =P

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Unless you wanna end up like Riply did in Aliens Ressurection

[Nickokapo]

:lol: yeah...yuck :P dreams can be so weird sometimes!But sometimes they're amazing too...you never know what'll happen :) i haven't been having dreams lately tho :ohwell: dunno why.

[Spike The Xenomorph]

You always dream, you just don't remember them, that's all.

Ever had a dream that you were in a video game?

[Nickokapo]

Hmmm...but i mean, i don't dream...it's just like i go to sleep and then i wake up =P but maybe it's like you say that i dream, only i dont remember.
I think i remember a dream when i was PLAYING a video game, but i don't remember a dream were i was in a videogame...my brother once told me he had a dream when he was inside street fighter tho :D

[HorseTechie]

Though.. I did see this one show on TLC, where they were using laser-oscapy to go inside a person and do a little surgery without cutting them open... that was different! :goof:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I had a dream where Jabba the Hutt was my uncle.

I had another 1 where I was in Star Fox Adventures!

[azure turtle]

LOL!! I like Amanda's new drawing...
*snicker*
GW vs Kali. That ought to lead to plenty of funny moments, ne? ;)

Dreams! I actually had a wierd dream a few nights ago. It was the first time that I ever dreamt of people who post on these forums! :eek: It was a strange dream, where HT, Kali, SC, Krang, and myself were sitting around a table, debating whether the Technodrome should stay on earth or go back to Dimension X. What's even stranger is that I pictured all of us as our online personas (or avatar characters). It was weird...

[Skeletoncrew]

Ha ha hah! That sounds like a GREAT dream! I haven't had any TMNT related dreams lately. *pout* Maybe tonight!

[azure turtle]

Yeah, it was definitely cool! Weird, but cool. Heh heh... You were wearing all black, with the picture of a skeleton on the front of your shirt. I'm assuming that skeleton was probably Roger. ;)

[Skeletoncrew]

Heee hee hee! I'm still waiting for my Roger shirt to get here...maybe tomorrow!

[HorseTechie]

*lol* Was I a horse, or a human, Azure? (I seem to have gained shape shifter qualities too) :P

I hadn;t any dreams of late either though. Did wake up with that American Idol song stuck in my head "Everyone waits a lifetime, for a moment like thiiiiis!" I guess they've been playing THAT song way too much on the radio again...

[Skeletoncrew]

I didn't have any TMNT dreams last night. *pout* I had a yucky dream about being at work.

[Machias Banshee]

Dreams? about the turtles? Heh...what about Splinter? I uh, heh...nevermind.... :embarass:

[HorseTechie]

ooo.. I had a dream! I uh... well, it was about something that was TMNT... forgot what now. That always happens to me. :(

[Storm Wolf]

hmmm...I had a dream last night...kinda strange...I went on a trail ride with some friends and my horse got wet and turned into a kitten, so i went home...lived in the sewers with my mom.....(funny thing was the turtle lair was in florida beneath my current residence) strange strange....I think this forum is furthur warping my mind :P either that or I'm just to anxious to get my horse :roll: :P :lol:

[Nturtle]

I had a TMNT dream when I was 5 years old, all I remeber is that Mikey joined up with Shredder and krang and was shooting at Leonardo and Raphel from helicopter as they ran across a big rooftop, wacky

[Spike The Xenomorph]

Cool! I never had a turtle dream though.

My dreams are usually Star Wars or game related.

Like this 1: I had a dream that my uncle was Jabba the Hutt & Oola was my twin sister & that Darth Vader could sing karaoke!

[HorseTechie]

As much as I hang out here, I don't dream TMNT much (or is it I don;t dream much).

*gets all jealous of Tiger powers cause she's gonna get her own horse*

I did have a lord of the rings dream once, that I was one of the Ring Wraith, and I managed to pull Frodo off the elven horse. Then I woke up at the moment. Gar! :ohwell:

[Spike The Xenomorph]

I even had 1 where I was hired by a princess named Krystah to protect Star Fox! lol

I also had 1 where I was being forced to marry Sasami! *gags*

She's just too old fer me!

[azure turtle]

*lol* Was I a horse, or a human, Azure? (I seem to have gained shape shifter qualities too) :P
Heh heh... You were in your "HorseTechie" form. First time I've ever dreamed of a green, humanoid, cyborg horse. :embarass:

[HorseTechie]

:lol:

thent he more I think of my char in the living flesh, the weirder I must look. Like with Green hippo skin er something! :goofygri:

[azure turtle]

Green hippo skin?? Woah... :tsurpris:
