This was written by myself and Leo656 a few years back and whenever I show it to people they get a good laugh out of it. I thought maybe some of the new members might enjoy the joke. And remember, it's JUST a joke, we don't actually hate Peter Laird.

DATE LINE JUNE 11 2003

For several years people have debated over the real reason for the break up of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, creators of the mega-popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. However today, we have recieved word as to what the OFFICIAL reason is. Money? Control? Power? Fame? Surprisingly, no. According to Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird just "Flipped his lid".
"We just started going in completely different creative directions. The problem really started when I realized that the possibility was very strong that Peter had never seen a naked woman.. I tried to show him the latest cover of Heavy Metal I was working on, and he flipped his lid and yelled, and I quote, 'Master Splinter would not approve!' I was just like, What the F*CK are you talking about?"

Kevin went on to tell us that Peter then began throwing plastic sais at him and yelling "Get out of our Secret Lair, Shredder!!!"

"I tried to mend fences, really," Kevin told us, referring to his attempts to contact Laird after his emotional breakdown. "I went to his house with his birthday present... rang the bell, he wouldnt open the door, just looked at me through the window... he started yelling about how he'd 'never join forces with an evildoer like you'... I could barely see it, but he was wearing his Ninja Turtle pajamas under his suit. Donatello, it was. I was so ashamed...."

Our reporter failed to contact Peter Laird for comment. Upon attempting to call his home, all that was heard was an answering machine tape which said the following:

"Kevin Eastman? WHO CARES about Kevin Eastman?! He meant NOTHING to this franchise! SO WHAT if he sleeps with Julie Strain? I have my deluxe Mirage Leonardo statue with RED bandana! Do you hear me?! RED! REEEEEEED!!!"

Our reporter could not resist asking Kevin one final question: Does he make his wife, model Julie Strain, sing the Ninja Turtles theme song during "suiet moments"?

Kevin smiled upon hearing the question. "Of course," he replied. "And every time she gets the names mixed up, it's a donkey punch."

Ok, I didnt think it was that funny until I read this, then I literally fell out of my chair. "

Kevin smiled upon hearing the question. "Of course," he replied. "And every time she gets the names mixed up, it's a donkey punch."

I laughed so hard, I started coughing.

Poor Petey...but maybe that's hope for me that I'll create a memorable franchise...but loose my marbles along the way...

The donkey punch line was one of Leo's addition's if I remember right. When I wrote the first draft that line wasn't there, but I think he added it to the second draft. And there was no way in hell I could cut that line out. That's one of my favorite lines. That and "MASTER SPLINTER WOULD NOT APPROVE!"

Oh, don't worry, Kittie. I don't have too much of a problem with it. I know it's just thrown in there for silly humour anyway. :)

"MASTER SPLINTER WOULD NOT APPROVE!"

That was always my favourite line. I could just picture Laird screaming that out. Hilarious.
