Things to do while you wait for the new comic

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm HYPER!!! I want Issue #2 NOW! It would have been such a nice Valentine's gift. *bounces around* Okay...things to do while we wait...

Post photos of Splinter in a compromising situation on the internet.

Look at fan art.

Read fan fiction.

Babble with other TMNT fans about how excited we are.

Do the Happy Dance.

[azure turtle]

Do the happy dance!
*does the happy dance*
Hmmm.....
*looks around the room*
I wonder when Machias and MikeC are gonna stop by...
*pats his squirt gun affectionately*
:evilgrin:
*continues the happy dance*

[azure turtle]

Hmmm....I like Machias' suggestion of turtle wrestling! I think that'd be fun! But, I haven't tried out my new Super Soaker Magnum 47 yet.....

[Machias Banshee]

*coughPshychocough*

hehehe...

Let's see...

Flirt with the newbies while clones get jealous.

Look at fan-stuff (again)

Think about homework i Should be doing

Write next chapter of FoG (Plug!)

Try to get compromising pic of Splinter out of my pure(?) mind. :eek:

Draw more little turtle pics :grin:

and what else???


Hey Azure, FWTWF! (Forum-wide Turtle Wrestling Federation!) :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

Fantasize about warm-oil Turtle wrestling.

Tap fingers incessantly on desk.

Re-read all of the comics I already have.

Do laundry.

Make dinner.

Pace back and forth.

Think about that oil wrestling idea some more...

[azure turtle]

Oooh! FWTWF! Yes, we should start something like this! Good idea, Machias. We should start recruiting, then put everyone in the same thread and watch the madness. Of course, I don't think anyone will ever get up from my potent "Spinning Turtle Driver" finishing move. Oh, the fun we'll have!

[azure turtle]

Oil wrestling?! Woah, calm down there, Skeletoncrew! I think that's a bit too intense for me..... :evilgrin:

[Machias Banshee]

I dont know... Man i wish Kali was here. She'd REALLY enjoy this :evilgrin:

TurtlesC: You are EVIL...

hehehe...

[Skeletoncrew]

It feels so good to be so bad!

[azure turtle]

You think she'd be interested in the FWTWF or the classic style of oil wrestling? :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

Knowing Kali, you guys would probly fight in chocolate. mm... chocolate covered turtles
*gets all dreamy looking*

[Skeletoncrew]

I don't care what its called as long as I get to be coated in oil and roll around with a Turtle! Or two, maybe three, four? Naw, that would be excessive.

Hmmm...what was it I was so hyper about to begin with? :smile:

[Machias Banshee]

COMIC NUMBER TWOOOOOO!!!!!! :eyemouth:

[azure turtle]

:lol: Hyper today, ain't we?
Chocolate covered turtles?! Uhh...
*starts to shiver in his shell*
What've I gotten myself into??

[Skeletoncrew]

Awww...now I'm gonna have to keep thinking of ways to pass the time until I get that comic!

Make list of things to do while waiting.
Surf eBay.
Cook more stuff.
Take care of pet quail.
Pay bills.
Happy Dance some more.
Listen to Pink Floyd.

[azure turtle]

You have a pet quail? That's bodacious, dudette! I used to have a pair of birds before the passed to the other side :sad: I can't remember the name of the species, though.

[Machias Banshee]

Draw more (Plug!)

Write more (Another Plug!)

Shoo annoying roomate's friends away :roll:

get food in food machines mmm...chocolate
:evilgrin:

Have fun with Azure :wink:

Torture Clones...hehehe..

Laugh at people's replies...

[azure turtle]

LOL! Sounds like you both have a plan! Well, here's what I COULD do...

Watch WWF Smackdown! (I'm actually gonna do this in a few minutes)

Start yet another computer program (Ehh...)

Chattin' up a storm with Machias and Skeletoncrew :smile:

Continue doing the happy dance (YES! I'll definitely do this later)

I guess that's about it....an exciting night for me, no?

[Skeletoncrew]

Plug website: Yeah, I have 3 button quail. Go to http://www.homestead.com/myquail/ to see pics if you're curious.

Wonders where Machias' stories might be found?

[Machias Banshee]

http://www.undermanhattan.com/dawnatello/ and http://www.fanfiction.net

Art is here at the images section too! new 'words of Wisdom' is up!

[azure turtle]

Aww, they're adorable, Skeletoncrew! Almost as cute as a certain blue turtle :wink:

[Kali]

Look at everything I missed! Stupid siblings!

~Post photos of Splinter in a compromising situation on the internet.~
It's been done.

~Fantasize about warm-oil Turtle wrestling.~
I LIKE the way you think!

~chocolate covered turtles~
Even better!

[azure turtle]

Hooah! Wrestling's starting...I'll be back a little later! :smile:

I hope it doesnt become some big scandal, you know, like "Splintergate" or something...

[Skeletoncrew]

Wonder whether Azure turtle's face turns purple when he blushes?

Wonder how to make Azure Turtle blush...

Thinks about upcoming birthday rather than upcoming comic.

BTW, I may have read some of your stories Machias...I just don't know what name they'd be under.

[Kali]

Hey, that was Skeletoncrew's suggestion, not mine. I'm just telling you all that those pictures are already out there.

[Machias Banshee]

Turtle Pox

Darkness

Feelings of Guilt (long story)

hmm... lets try THIS!!! *Grabs Azure and smooches him on the cheek*

how about that *blushes herself* God, if the clones find out, they'll kill me. :goofygri:

[Kali]

LOL! Too bad he's not here to see that.

[Machias Banshee]

Man, talk about timing. *pout*

If you say anything to mike, I WILL hurt you. *evilstare*

[Kali]

Who, me? My lips are sealed. And if you hurt me, you'll have to deal with Raph.

[Machias Banshee]

Splinter will protect me :grin:

[Kali]

We'll get the bath girls to distract him!

[Skeletoncrew]

*laughs at Kali and Machias*

Contemplates ways to cause trouble.

[Machias Banshee]

Bath girls arent here, just us- dear god no! *purges bad thought from mind*

[Kali]

No don't purge! Share! LOL!

[Machias Banshee]

*bad images of US giving the bath* Ugh! Make Bad thots go away!!!

[Kali]

Give them to me if you don't want them.

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, I'd be happy to lather Splinter up! :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

Freakin A! He's my DAD! I could never do that! ick-ick-ick-ick-ick!

[Kali]

Fine, me and Skeletoncrew can give the bath.

[Machias Banshee]

You'll have to ask him first, and i'm not sure if he'd be comfortable having it done with the turtles around...

[Kali]

You're right, they'd be jealous.

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm sure we can scare them off!

*starts pulling evil looking leather things out of bag*

[Machias Banshee]

Raph and Mike might like those...
*pulls out hypodermic needles*
Now THESE will scare them away, after what Splinter told me.

[Kali]

*looks at Skeletoncrew's things* I think I own some of those things.

[Skeletoncrew]

Great minds think alike! And so do ours apparently!

[Kali]

*clones peek in*

Raph-clone: What's going on in here?

[Machias Banshee]

I cant afford any of that stuff yet. I've had to 'borrow' your stuff once in a while, kali. :goofygri:

[Kali]

Quick poll: All those who own those types of things IRL, raise your hand!

[Skeletoncrew]

*raises riding crop*

[Kali]

*raises bullwhip*

[Skeletoncrew]

I used to have one of those.

Now I just have a couple riding crops.

[Machias Banshee]

You all frighten me :eek:

[Kali]

I'm sure we do, it's part of the whole get up.

[Skeletoncrew]

All in good fun!

[Machias Banshee]

True... :smile:

[Kali]

Hell, even Leo thinks it's fun.

[Skeletoncrew]

Oh he does, does he? *wicked glint in eye*

[Kali]

Well, he did when he was drunk.

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh! Lots of things are fun when you're drunk! But surely Leo didn't get deliberately drunk? He seems like a bit too much of a goody-two-shoes for that.

[Kali]

No, Machias spiked the cider. Then he kinda semi-switched personalities with Raph. It was fun, I got in a cat fight with Venus afterwards.

[Machias Banshee]

Well, i kinda spiked the cider... The clones didnt like it tho. Splinter chewed me out and the clones came after me after they got over their hangovers.

[Kali]

Well, at least one of us enjoyed the experience.

[Skeletoncrew]

Sounds like a good time!

Things to do while I wait for the comic:

Listen to Lodger.
Do the "David Bowie is a god dance"

[Kali]

I personally want to read Brotherly Love again, but I can't so I'll settle for Forces within Yin and Yang.

[Machias Banshee]

Lodger???

I know David Bowie from "moulin Rouge". listening to it right now. :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm a BIG Bowie fan. Lodger is prolly one of his lesser-known albums.

I've heard about the "Brotherly Love" story. Is it in limbo (unavailable) right now?

[Kali]

*nods* It's in limbo, along with several other GREAT TMNT fics.

[Skeletoncrew]

Such a pity! BTW, I love your chibi Shredder with Mike and Raph!

[Machias Banshee]

what does chibi mean anyway? Yes i am a french blonde, therefore i can have my moments.

[Kali]

One of my favorite pieces! I drew Shredder, then I tried to decide what evil thing he had done, and I decided he knocked over someone's block tower.

Chibi is Japanese for small or child. I think.

[Skeletoncrew]

And thats exactly the sort of thing a little Shredder would do!

[Kali]

And poor Mikey! All sad, and Raph looking ready to kill Shredder for picking on his bro. It's all so cute, and I usually don't do cute stuff.

[Machias Banshee]

Then That makes me a Turtle-chibi fan!!!

[Kali]

Yes it would.

[Machias Banshee]

Okay, i wont get into it. I like my Michaelangelo as a teenager anytime. :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

Yeah, I think I prefer seeing sexy adult turtles to cute child turtles.

Heh...what do I mean, "I think"? I know! Heh heh heh...

[Kali]

I'm with you on that one!

[Kali]

Words of warning: If you read an NC-17 fic before bed, be ready for some weird dreams.

[Machias Banshee]

Yeah, i plan on making one hefty love scene involving myself and a certain character (might not be mike!) in my long story i'm planning to write. Ooh, yeah! :eyemouth:

[Skeletoncrew]

Whoo hoo!

I have weird dreams even if I don't read an NC-17 story before bed! Unfortunately they're not usually very sexy.

[Machias Banshee]

I had a strange dream that Mike had raped me once. I woke up crying from it.
I was uncomfortable at first, but then we talked and everythings okay now. :grin:

[Kali]

That's sad, but I've had a few like that. However, circumstances are usually different.

[Skeletoncrew]

I had a dream over a week ago involving Cthulhu (Of H.P. Lovecraft fame). I woke up right about the time he started exploring me with his tentacles. I blame that portion of the dream on hentai.

Don't think I've had any Ninja Turtle dreams recently though.

[azure turtle]

Gadzooks! I'm glad I wasn't around for most of the insanity...:eek:

[Kali]

LOL! :lol:

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh...thats what happens when you leave a bunch of girls alone! It was fun while it lasted!

I think I'll go eat dinner now and watch a DVD...Maybe I'll get my comic tomorrow!!!

[Machias Banshee]

Hey azure did you see my post on page 2? :wink:

[azure turtle]

Hey azure did you see my post on page 2? :wink:

Uh...
*gulp*
Yes I did.....
*blushes a deep crimson color*
:oops:

[Kali]

Blushes red. *makes a note*

[Machias Banshee]

It did work! :lol:
Nah, i only do that if someone asks me. Dont wanna make anyone uncomfortable. :smile:

[azure turtle]

Better hope MikeyC didn't see that :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

ummm...He doesnt know, it wasnt too major, so its not bad

[azure turtle]

:grin: I hope so! Now that he's feeling better, he might wanna continue with that duel of ours, and I really don't want to fight at the moment....

[Kali]

At least you won't have to deal with Raph.

[Machias Banshee]

Umm, he's kinda-
*tries to remove Mike's arm from her waist*
asleep. Its 1:23am EST here.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I think Raph's rage would've been a lot more trouble..... 1:23 in the morning? Damn! You aren't tired?

[Machias Banshee]

yeah, i should get going, but this is SO much fun! :cry:

Well, i 'll just enjoy my time with Michaelangelo. Good nite everybody!
*cuddles with MikeyC and falls asleep in the warmth of his arms.*

~Gotta love description!~ :grin:

[Kali]

*I* definitly am! This is my last call, I'm going to bed.

[azure turtle]

:smile: G'night, Machias! I'll see ya around. I think I ought to get going too. That pile of books on my desk won't go away unless I read them.
*grimaces*
G'night to you too, Kali. Enjoy your time with Leo and Raph :evilgrin:

[Machias Banshee]

Good nite Azure!

[Skeletoncrew]

What a bunch of wimps! Sleepy at 1am?! Heh heh heh...of course, this is why I call myself Skeletoncrew. I like the Graveyard shift! :smile:

[Kali]

*drags herself out of bed* Uh huh, I like night shift, too, and I'd love to stay up all night if I didn't have all this stuff to do during the day.

[Skeletoncrew]

*laughs at all the people who have to be up in the morning*

I guess I'll be spending my time waiting for the comic playing with my LOTR action figures.

It also sounds like I have a birthday surprise to distract me this weeekend...

[azure turtle]

Yep, I'm definitely NOT a morning person. Nope, nope, nope, not this little blue turtle :razz: Anyway, is your b'day coming up, Skeletoncrew?! If it is, I wish you a happy birthday in advance!
*does the happy dance*
Gee, I wonder if a certain turtle dressed in purple will be popping out of a cake sometime soon :evilgrin:

[Kali]

Don-clone:...

Ooh, a birthday! *giggle* I got a birthday present in the mail yesterday. Funny thing is, it's nowhere near my birthday!

[Skeletoncrew]

Tomorrow! I'll be 24 tomorrow! Wheee!

My boyfriend is taking me out to dinner tonight after work. I'm not sure where, he just said that its a vegetarian place with lots of vegan food too.

Looks like my b-day present from my mom will be late though (since it didn't get here today). *pout* She's making me a wool cloak!

[HorseTechie]

Looks like my b-day present from my mom will be late though (since it didn't get here today). *pout* She's making me a wool cloak!


ooo... like the ons the hobbit's wore? :grin:

(I have LotR on the brain, so help me! Which prolly explains why I can't write anything for my Fic Challenge story)

[coolmike1586]

that movie was awesome

[RaphRockz]

i agree with coolmike1586

[azure turtle]

Lucky Kali!
And happy b'day, Skeletoncrew! Ooo, a cloak! Sounds like an awesome b'day gift. I wish I had a cloak, so I can run around campus and look mysterious (or crazy, depending on your point of view) :grin:

[Skeletoncrew]

I think mine will be a bit more stylish than the hobbits' cloaks. :smile: Its black wool with green satiny lining and two gold leaf-like closures on the front.

I just got presents from my boyfriend! A Ghostbusters Slimer t-shirt, and black sheepskin slippers!!! Mmmmm...These slippers are fantastic!

[coolmike1586]

WOO HOO I BOUGHT THE TMNT COMIC ISSUE #! AND #@ YESTERDAY.... jus they wont be here till wednesday which suck but hey i still have them

[azure turtle]

Wow, Skeletoncrew, looks like you've got a nice group of gifts! I'm blue with envy :wink: Coolmike, you already ordered comic #2? I'm gonna check the official website to see if Dan's updated the comic book page yet. If Mirage is already accepting orders, then I'd better hurry the shell up and send them some money!

[HorseTechie]

Okay... two more days I'm hoping... if they're gonna show up on Wednesday. :grin:

[coolmike1586]

its right around the corner ALMOST THERE

[azure turtle]

Argh! The suspense is so thick you can cut it with a butter knife!
*grabs a katana and starts wailing away like a madturtle*
Okay, so that wasn't exactly a butter knife...

[Skeletoncrew]

Wow! Look at all the slices of suspense on the ground! Nice slicing and dicing Azure!

*hops up and down excitedly*

Just one or two days!!!

[coolmike1586]

YIPPY :grin:

[azure turtle]

Yes! I can slice and dice with the best of 'em :wink: Only a few more days 'til the new comic. Excellent!
*does the happy dance*

[Kali]

The happy dance again?

[azure turtle]

Yes, the happy dance again!
*tries to convince Kali to join him, but he sees RaphClone glaring at him*
Ehh......whatever.
*continues doing the happy dance*

[azure turtle]

Wow, there are nine people browsing the boards right now. I think that has to be a new record :grin:

[Kali]

Nope, there were twelve the other day, and thirteen today.

[azure turtle]

Wow....more and more turtleholics are visiting this forum. Too bad most of those people are guests. How come no one wants to register and mingle with us? :cry:

[RaphRockz]

I guess those who don't wanna mingle think they're too good to hang with their own kind.

[azure turtle]

LOL! Nah, I just think most of them are shy. It felt kinda weird when I started posting, so I can relate to them. I just hope they come out of their shells and join us! I don't bite......hard. :grin:

[Kali]

No, some are just checking us out before they sign up. Others probably can't think of anything to contribute.

[RaphRockz]

I did feel weird at first. I felt like I would be rejected.

[Kali]

Some places are like that, they shun and are mean to newbies. But not us, hell, we threw you a party!

[RaphRockz]

I've joined like 6 different message boards, most of them have been cool with me, this one has been best.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I thought I might've gotten ignored at first too. I'm glad I've met so many nice people at the Technodrome! And ya, thanks for the "newbie" party, Kali! At certain points, the party got totally insane. I'm still recovering from some of the events that happened. :wink:

[RaphRockz]

I fell asleep on the floor somewhere at that wicked party, so i missed all the fun. :sad:

[Kali]

Yeah, insane. *points to the clones* That's THEIR fault!

[azure turtle]

LOL! Yep, I've had my share of trouble from the clones. I definitely don't want to mess with them again.

[Kali]

Hmm, they seem to have taken a vacation. They can't celebrate with me.

[coolmike1586]

i dont knwo i think people are still gettin to know me a little bit and FINALLY except me now that i am coming out and sayin stuff!

[azure turtle]

Hmm, they seem to have taken a vacation. They can't celebrate with me.

Bummer. Maybe we'll have fun with them when they get back. :grin:

[azure turtle]

i dont knwo i think people are still gettin to know me a little bit and FINALLY except me now that i am coming out and sayin stuff!

Good job, coolmike!
*cues some applause for coolmike*

[Skeletoncrew]

That is yet another thing to do while we wait for the comic! Be nice to the newbies. Heck, we can even be nice to the established forum members!

[HorseTechie]

And be nice to Techies! :razz:

Now I heard confirmation that the comic HAS to come on Wednesday. At least it is for the east and midwest folks! Whooo...!

[Kali]

*frown* And what about us West Coasters, huh?

[HorseTechie]

*shrug* Beats me, I haven't spoken recently with someone there who's been talking to their comic book store yet. :wink:

[coolmike1586]

yea i am in Missouri they uhh COME OUT TOMORROW AND I WILL BE THERE THE MINUTE THEY OPEN!!!!

[RaphRockz]

I dont know of anywhere in Dullsville, Georgia that would sell them.

[coolmike1586]

wanna know how to find out?

goto like google er sumthin and type in: comic book store listings!!! and it has a bunch of ways to find out where there is at least a store at then maybe u can give thema buz

[RaphRockz]

I found a place, YAY!!!!

[coolmike1586]

i hope i helped out

[azure turtle]

Argh! I'm a westcoaster too! Curse the luck. I shall never kiss the blarney stone again.
*decides to lie down on his shell and rock himself to sleep* :sleep:

[coolmike1586]

hmm is that sayin that west coasters a little slow? lol sorry

[azure turtle]

Well, it seems as if the West Coast will be the last place to get the new TMNT comic. Blah, total bummer, dudes. Oh well. Back to my turtle nap. :sleep:

[coolmike1586]

well if u want i will read mine issue for you. :wink:

[azure turtle]

Thanks, but I'll get my own copy soon enough :smile: I'm soooooo bored right now, but no one seems to be visiting the message boards. Not even a single guest :sad: Ah well, there's always homework to do.
*cringe*

[coolmike1586]

yea, i hear ya, there is like nobody on!

[Kali]

We have lives outside this board, you know.

Raph-clone: You do?!?

Shut up.

[azure turtle]

:lol: Yep, life is good. I like to escape it once in a while, though, and the Technodrome is the perfect place to do it. What more can one ask for then to be surrounded by a bunch of crazed turtle fans?
(Please, don't answer that question.....)
:razz:

[Kali]

Ah, escaping reality, that's why I'm here too. I'm not anything like this IRL. Okay, well maybe a little.

[azure turtle]

Heh heh. Me too. I guess my personality shows through my posts. Too bad I can't convince all the people I know IRL that azure turtles aren't dangerous....:wink:

[Kali]

Crazy maybe, but not dangerous. :wink:

[azure turtle]

:lol: I'll take that as a compliment.

[Kali]

As well you should, I meant it as one. Sane people are boring.

[azure turtle]

Hmm...so true. Sane people aren't any fun, unless you spike their punch.

[Kali]

*giggles* Yeah, we did that to the clones awhile back. Leo really loosened up!

[azure turtle]

Leonardo loosening up?! Now there's something that doesn't happen everyday. But I guess every turtle has his/her day. Yes! I remembered to be politically correct!
*gives himself a high three*

[Kali]

Yep, Leo really has a wild streak in him, if he'd only show it off more often. He got in trouble with Venus afterwards, though. Gotta watch those consequences.

[azure turtle]

Maybe we should try spiking Venus' punch? :evilgrin:

[Kali]

*gets a glazed-over look* Maybe we should...

[azure turtle]

Argh! Study break's over :cry: Hey Kali, I'll see you around. Take it easy!

[Kali]

Bye bye, it's bed time for me anyway.

[SeaThreePeeO]

It all right for you lot, because of my global positioning I have to wait twice as long for the comic! Let's see things to do while I wait.

Watch my Jackkie Chan DvD's.
Listen to Smash mouth an upset the neighbors.
Look after my parrots and rat.
Take Ana to the park.
Wonder why I took Ana to the park in the rain.
Watch Samurai Jack and X- Men.
Talk about the Turtles and their planed comeback to anyone who will listen.

and last but not least, go thrift store shopping.

That all from me *Nunchucker waves and climbes back into the box*

[azure turtle]

Sounds like you've got a nice long list, Nunchucker! Too bad you've got to wait a lot longer for the new comic book. Total bummer. Maybe you'll have more luck if you order straight from Mirage? You might get the comic a lot faster, but it's way more expensive than waiting for it to show up at the comic store.

[Kali]

Oy, I've got fan fics to finish. That's what I'm going to be doing while I'm waiting. *looks up at the Leaning Tower of Unfinished Fanfics*

[HorseTechie]

#2 is out, it is!! I don't know how else to explain this webcam at the Undermanhattan site!

http://www.undermanhattan.com/webcams/default.asp

(must check the comic book store on way home from work tonight!)

[azure turtle]

By the great turtle gods! I still need to find things to do while I wait for the new comic. Let's see, what should I do? Oh, I know..
*weeps*
Okay, I'm done. Maybe I'll go and do homework now. Curse the luck!

[Kali]

Yikes, it's out! And I have no store in which to purchase this much beloved book.

[azure turtle]

I know how you feel, Kali. I'm just happy that Mirage ships fast. I remember getting the first comic in the mail after about a week. Not too shabby, for a company on the east side of the country :grin:
Oh, and look at the new star that has found a home underneath my name! I guess I'm content for now.

[Kali]

*pout* But I missed the mailman today. I have to wait until tomorrow to send the payment out.

Oh well. *eyes the Tower of Unfinished Fanfics* Does that look unstable to you?

[azure turtle]

*looks at the pile of unfinished fanfics*
Eh.....be careful, Kali. It looks like it's leaning towards the left. If that tower should ever fall, the results would be catastrophic. :eek:

[Kali]

*cringes* Just imagine the paper cuts. Geez. At least now that the Fan Art Awards are over, I can try and concentrate on my writing. There are only a few short months until the Fan Fic Awards. That should give me proper motivation.

[azure turtle]

Yes! Way to go, Kali!
*cheers for Kali, so she'll become even more motivated*
Paper cuts? Ech. BTW, do you know what the link is for the results of the fanart awards? I found the site that listed the nominees, but I don't know what the results are (except for the two works here at the Technodrome).

[Kali]

http://www.topica.com/lists/tmnt-l/read/message.html?mid=801909396&amp;sort=d&amp;start=15468

[azure turtle]

Mucho thanks, Kali! As always, you know what's going on.

[Kali]

Of course! I know everything! Okay, well, maybe not everything.

[azure turtle]

Egads! Congrats on taking some of the awards home!
*applauds Kali*

[Kali]

*bows* Thank you. Don't forget to congratulate HT the next time she comes in too.

[azure turtle]

I sure will. Haven't seen her around today. Well, I'll just say it here then. HorseTechie, congrats on taking home the gold! You da ..... uh ...... HorseTechie!

[Kali]

LOL! I wonder if she got her Fan Fic challenge story in on time.

Things to do while you wait for TMNT #2:
Surf ninja turtle stuff on e-bay!

I want those needle point kits!

[azure turtle]

Needle point kits?! No way, dudette! Wow, the TMNT have been on EVERYTHING...

[RaphRockz]

This may not fit into the subject, maybe we should make like big decals of the emblem to put in the back windows of vehicles, sounds dumb but it would be cool. All I have is a Flowmaster sticker in my back window.

[coolmike1586]

I GOT THE TMNT ISSUE NUMBER 2 TODAY!!!! OH I AM SO HAPPY IT IS AWESOME, but i wont spoil it!!!!!

[azure turtle]

Decals are always fun to play with :smile:
Argh!! I want my comic!
*goes into a temper tantrum*

[RaphRockz]

How much was the comic anyways?

[azure turtle]

The comic is four bucks if you order by mail. It sounds expensive for a comic, but there aren't any comic book stores around my school (well, none that I know of). And besides, Mirage has fast shipping. It's not too shabby.

[coolmike1586]

my comic cost me $3.14 yea its not bad at all and the only bad thing is we have to wait till APRIL to get the next one DER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kali]

$3.14? Oh yeah, tax. I like the idea of buying straight from Mirage, that way you know that most of the money goes back into the company.

[coolmike1586]

hey i never thought of that

[Kali]

*shrug* Whatever's easiest. The comic's got a cover price of $2.95. Either pay taxes or shipping. Since I hate the government, I don't want to give them any money. I also want to cut out the middle man. My check's already written and ready to be sent.

[Skeletoncrew]

One of the nice things about Oregon, is that we don't have sales tax! I can't wait to get my comic tomorrow!

[Kali]

*frown* I need to move to Oregon.

[Skeletoncrew]

Oregon is kind odd though. You can't legally pump your own gas here! It took me a while to get used to that.

[Kali]

Oregon is odd? Heck, so am I! I adapt rather quickly.

[azure turtle]

Hey, Dan updated the comic book page at the turtles official site! There are even sample pages!
*drools*
And hey, I like Oregon! My family and I have traveled northward several times. We always go camping when we pass by Oregon. Heck, sometimes we go all the way up there just to have a small camping trip, away from the busy city. I gotta say, Oregon is a beautiful state :wink: And the "no tax" thing is always appreciated.

[Skeletoncrew]

Oh yeah! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Oregon! Its just that certain aspects take getting used to!

Oooh...must check out official site...

[Kali]

I already checked it out. Hmm, I'm really interested in finding out who this "old friend" is, although I have a feeling I know, and who Shadow's boyfriend is.

[azure turtle]

I'm buying stamps tomorrow, so I can send a check to Mirage. The suspense is crackin' my shell!

[Kali]

Better watch it, or your shell'll crack right in half.

[Skeletoncrew]

*bounces up and down*
Well, I have at least one thing to do while I'm waiting...its time for me to go have pizza! (Thats another cool thing about Portland, lots of neat little pizza by the slice shops. This particular one has a basement area where bands come and play!)

[azure turtle]

Oh no!

*checks his shell*

Phew, I'm okay!

*gives a thumbs up*

Oh, live bands and pizza?! That sounds like fun! I don't know any pizza places around my crib that offers that. I know places with good pizza, but no live entertainment :sad:

**suddenly, an anvil falls from the sky without explanation, Looney Tunes style, landing on the poor blue turtle**

.......I'm not okay..........:dead:

[Kali]

*gasp* Poor azure! *pushes anvil off him* Do you want some pain killers?

[Skeletoncrew]

*scrapes azure off the ground with a spatula*

I think I've got some band-aids here.

[Kali]

*pats azure's head gently* Can you hear me? Don't worry, we'll fix you up.

[azure turtle]

Eh......? Can I ride the caterpillar again, mommy? :dead:

[Kali]

*rummages through the first aid kit* Okay, think I've got something.

*puts azure's head in her lap and places an ice pack on his head* Better?

[azure turtle]

Gee, thanks, mommy! I always wanted a blue goldfish! :dead:

[Kali]

Well, there's no change in behavior. :razz:

[azure turtle]

Yes! Back to normal! :grin:
*suddenly stands up and does the happy dance*
Thanks for your help, Kali! I have fully recovered!
*inspects the anvil that landed on him earlier*
Property of the off-topic police?! AHHHHHH!
*panics, and starts running in circles*

[Kali]

*zaps the anvil* This is a random post thread, there is no topic, we can't go off topic.

[azure turtle]

*wimpers*
They were probably trying to get even with me for some of my last few posts. But you're right! I shouldn't get nailed with anvils in here.
*shakes a fist in the air*
Ya hear that, you bunch of meanies! I can't go off topic in here!
*quickly dives behind a rock, and looks upward*
Eh......just no more anvils, 'kay????

[Kali]

*pats azure's head* That's okay, I won't let the mean ol' peoples hurt you.

:evilgrin: That's my job.

[azure turtle]

Ahhhhhh!
*runs away from Kali*
Help me!!

[Kali]

Ha ha. There's no one to help you now! Damn, I'm just too lazy to go chasing after you tonight.

[azure turtle]

LOL!! Tough luck :razz: Hey Kali, I gotta get going.
*pouts*
It was fun! Maybe I can come out and play again tomorrow. G'night, and sleep tight! Good luck with your fanfics, fanart, and other things your creative self is indulged in :grin:
Catch ya later, dudette!

[Kali]

See ya dude!

That's nothing! I had to pay $14 to get the first issue shipped out to me. It's a good thing I have more money than I know what to do with. :evilgrin:

Nunchucker *Please don't feed or provoke or tap on the glass*

[Kali]

$14! Yeesh. Was that price from Mirage, because I could have sworn their overseas price was only $7.

No, I ordered from The Comic Box. There price was just $7 as well, what they don't tell people is that you have to pay tax, as well as customs and excise when it comes into your country! I think it is just the UK governments way of stopping us buying stuff cheaper in the US. Sneeky gits!

But when this comic store I found in Slough gets their shippment it won't cost me as much. But then again I am the girl who spent £1000 on a cockatoo I fell in love with. Is there no hope for me?

Nikki *Please don't feed or provoke or tap on the glass*

[Kali]

Hey, at least your aren't spending the money on Power Rangers or something.

*modest grin* That's my Leo doll for yah... always has to be perfect n all! (I can come up with so many analgies for that)

Or... Leo will always be above the queen of Golden Underwear. (whereas, a golden award isn't too bad to have)

Okay, yeah... anyways... might as well make it know I'm ever rarely online at night. Only during the day at work, specifically during my lunch hour, can I post here. It's one of those unfortunate things that happens to a person when they get their own apartment, get married, and work 40 hours a week. :sad:

Lastly, YES! I did manage to get my fic turned in on time for the FF challenge! Told my husband it was a research papaer I had to finish so he'd leave me alone. :lol:

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh...thats some "research!"

I can quit waiting now! I got it! The comic book store even saved a copy for me since I'd been bugging them so much! Well, they didn't tell me why they reserved it, but I'm guessing thats the reason. :grin:

[coolmike1586]

I BOUGHT MY COMIC YESTERDAY AND THAT WAS SO KEWL!!!!

[azure turtle]

Wow, true dedication, HorseTechie! :grin: Congrats again.

Man, total bummer, Nunchucker. Fourteen bucks for a comic book?! I agree with Kali. At least you aren't buying anything Power Rangers related. :smile:

[SPEEd]

I go to school and that takes all of my time waiting for the new comic to come out.

[azure turtle]

Heh heh. Good call, Speed. I go to school too (heck, I LIVE at school), but I'd rather be reading a TMNT comic book then reading about Calculus. Ugh.

[Skeletoncrew]

Math is hard! *does featherbrained hair flip*

Seriously though, I admire anyone who has the mind for that sort of thing. I just don't have a math brain. Ironically, I took two years of advanced physics in high school because I loved it so much. I couldn't really do the math, but I loved the classes!

[azure turtle]

*applauds Skeletoncrew*
I have to go through physics next quarter. I don't think physics is so bad, it's chemistry that I really despise. Ugh. As for math, I unfortunately have to take stuff that's beyond Calc once I finish with it. :sad:

[Skeletoncrew]

I had the coolest physics teacher in the world! He often uses Far Sides and Foxtrot as the basis for problems on the tests. He also had mid-term and finals projects that saved my rear grade wise!

My dad and I got to build a small working trebuchet for one. I got an a+ on it!

[azure turtle]

That's totally tubular, dudette! I wish my physics teacher was like that in high school. He was funny, but his tests were impossible!! I just hope my physics prof next quarter will know how to teach...

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, at least my physics teacher didn't mind all the centaurs and stuff I drew on my tests. He often wrote comments about them. Its funny, some of my best drawings are the ones that I doodle when I'm supposed to be taking notes, or doing other schoolwork.

[azure turtle]

Sweet! I used to doodle for my philosophy tests! They were often little stick figures commenting on his test questions. I can't draw :grin: He always found it amusing, though. Sometimes he'd comment on my stick peoples' comments.

[Skeletoncrew]

Hah hah hah! Thats great! Good that we had teachers/profs who didn't mind that sort of thing.

[azure turtle]

Ya, I know! It made taking the test a little more fun. And hey, if I didn't know the answer to his question, I would draw mini-strips of my stick people trying to answer his question. It was a lot of fun.

[Skeletoncrew]

I've never taken a philosophy course. I should. I hang out with people who occassionally make jokes based on Descartes and Nietzche (I probably spelled that wrong).

[azure turtle]

Yep, I think that's the right spelling. I thought philosophy was pretty interesting. Not as bad as I had anticipated.

Personally I've developed a strong interest in Psychology. I've also always been an arts type.

[azure turtle]

Psychology seems pretty interesting. I don't know if I have the patience for it, though.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Hey! I just thought of a whole new bunch of thing I could do while I wait for Englands Comic Stores to catch up with America.

*Pop some pills for this doozy of a headache I've got*
*Make my snotty younger brother suffer for not letting me use the computer*
*Clean out my ducks*
*Walk the dog and get blow over in the gale force winds*
*Pop down the phoneline and tell Fanfiction.net what I really think about them*

That's it, can't think of anything else. My head hurts too much.

[Kali]

Well, I'm going to comment of the last few posts.

~Math isn't that hard. *ducks baps*
~I took two years of physics too!
~I've always loved philosophy. We had a small week on it in social studies, ninth grade, and I annoyed my teacher because I was always getting ahead of him.
~I took psychology in high school. Great teacher, lots of fun. The first teacher to take an intrest in my fan art and fiction (although it was back when I was into Gargoyles.)

[Skeletoncrew]

Nunchucker, Are you refering to live ducks? As in, "Quack quack"? If so, why would you clean them out? And do I want to know how?

[azure turtle]

Maybe Nunchucker meant that he was going to give his ducks a bath....?

And I don't like math!
*baps Kali*

*runs away in fear*
