How Do The Turtles Go To....

[tkukoc2200]

How do they go to the bathroom?

[thesreddude]

I don't know and I don't want to know.

[tkukoc2200]

I just think it's a funny question..

[Kali]

I don't think we really need to know, do we? (Why do I have the feeling someone is going to give a textbook answer to this question?)

[tkukoc2200]

no we don't really need to know.. it's just a funny question to ask

[azure turtle]

Hmm....being an azure turtle, all I can say is....we go to the bathroom very carefully. :wink:

[Kali]

It's one of those "The world may never know" questions. It's not even fun to debate about, unlike other "How do they..." questions.

[azure turtle]

Ya, the world will never know. And I don't know if anyone wants to hear the actual details of the answer....it's kind of disgusting :razz:

[Kali]

Aye. Maybe we should ask different "How do the Turtles..." questions! Like how do they keep their leather pads in good condition in the damp sewers?

[azure turtle]

Ya, how exactly is that possible? Those crazy turtles! They've probably got some sort of secret magical powers....

[Kali]

Magical ninja powers! Yes, that's how. Okay, next question...

[azure turtle]

LOL! :lol:

[Kali]

How do the Turtles make/get their weapons? Do they steal them? Make them from scratch? Where do they get the tools?

[azure turtle]

Now that question is a toughie....I don't know how they got their weapons. I always assumed Splinter had them ever since he moved in to the sewers.
*shrugs*

[Kali]

I always liked the "stole them from the bad guys theory" but it doesn't work in all cases. There are instrution books for making your own weapons. I don't think it would be that hard to make them from scratch.

[azure turtle]

Hmm....wouldn't they need some sort of oven to be able to shape metal into swords (or sais)? I could see Don easily getting his weapon, and Mikey just needs to strong pieces of wood and a chain to make his. Leonardo and Raphael have their work cut out for them. Poor dudes.

[Kali]

Okay, next question... how do the Turtles get their money for pizza?

[RaphRockz]

excellent question, hmm..... how would the turtles get the moolah for pizza?

[azure turtle]

Uh....maybe you could apply the "getting it from bad guys" theory for this question.

[RaphRockz]

Ahh Yes, in the first movie, they whip those guys trying to rob April's stone age van. Maybe after they tied them they snatched some cash.

[coolmike1586]

yea well how do they..... JUS KIDDING!!!! :grin:

[azure turtle]

Heh. Yup, I think they take a little bit of dough from the baddies so they can pig out on pizza.

[RaphRockz]

after all, they can't live without pizza.

[coolmike1586]

or as they say on Turtles in Time: Pizza Time

[RaphRockz]

Did you notice on the first movie when mike was ordering, he said double cheese, ham, pepperoni. When they got the pizza, it didn't look like it has any of that stuff on there.

[Kali]

Of course it did, look closer. There was just a lot of cheese covering the other toppings.

[coolmike1586]

yea they wouldnt of done sumthin that obvious i dont think

[Kali]

Not that it matters, pizza is pizza. Personally, I'd get sick of eating it day after day. I am getting sick of eating it week after week.

Hey, ever notice how in the first movie, Mike says, "No anchovies" yet in the first episode of the cartoon, he eats a pizza with anchovies.

[RaphRockz]

You're right Kali, I noticed that.

[azure turtle]

During the long weekend, I was able to watch first movie and the first 'toon episode. I never noticed that difference 'til you pointed it out, Kali. Very observant :wink:

[Kali]

Just something that struck me as odd. Of course, the movie Turtles wouldn't like a LOT of the things the cartoon Turtles ate. What was it, anchovies and... peanut butter? Ice cream? Something like that.

[Skeletoncrew]

Back to the money issue...People drop stuff all the time. I could picture them finding money, jewelry, etc. Of course, I'm sure that if they found a wallet they'd find a way to return it to the owner.

[Kali]

Yeah, but enough to buy pizza for four growing teenage mutant ninja turtles? And sushi for Splinter? Everyday? Pizza may be cheap someplaces, but I've yet to see a cheap sushi platter.

[azure turtle]

Hmmm....maybe. They're good turtles, after all.

[Skeletoncrew]

Okay, maybe they're selling their bodies on the streetcorners. :wink:

[Kali]

*glazed-over look*

*runs to check her bank account*

[azure turtle]

:lol: LOL!!!

[Kali]

Seriously, SC, how much would you pay?

[Skeletoncrew]

Hah hah hah! I was expecting to get beaten for that flippant little comment!

[Kali]

Beaten? It was a damn good idea. It would make a sick fan fic. Oh, perfect title... Desperation. *demented giggle*

[Skeletoncrew]

How much would I pay for a night with one of the Turtles? Hmmmm...I've never had to pay, so I'm not sure what the going rate is for that sort of thing.

[azure turtle]

Sounds like this thread is going towards the hentai direction :eek:

[Kali]

I don't know either. Maybe just a large pizza.

[Kali]

Okay, then for your sake, we'll stop. Or in the very least, won't sink any deeper if we can help it.

[Skeletoncrew]

Hey! We're being good!

I do pay $40 for full body massages. But I'm sure what I'm thinking about would cost a good deal more than that.

[Kali]

*nods* Of course, we're kinda staying on topic. We're trying to answer another "How do the Turtles..." question. :evilgrin:

[azure turtle]

LOL! I don't mind if people go hentai, as long as this blue turtle isn't involved :evilgrin:
Oh man, we've strayed way off topic!
*runs away to avoid the off-topic police*

[Skeletoncrew]

I agree though, it would cost a lot to feed all of them. Of course, many of the fanfics have them dumpster diving and scavenging...and I think thats fairly realistic. Depressing, but realistic.

That said, its time for me to go eat pizza! Goodnight!

[Kali]

We have off-topic police?!? Are you SURE? 'Cause we've gone off topic worse than this before and never got busted.

[azure turtle]

*looks around catiously*
Gee, I don't know....I just hope they don't exist in this forum!

Have fun, Skeletoncrew! Bring us back some leftovers :wink:

[Kali]

Uh, what were we talking about here?

[azure turtle]

I completely forgot. Hentai???? :evilgrin:

[Kali]

Oh yeah! How do the Turtles... *snicker* No, I shouldn't finish that in my current state of mind.

[azure turtle]

Heh heh. I bet you were about to say something naughty :evilgrin:

[BlitzTurtle]

You can always consider that Yoshi might have had a bank account, maybe they used a lot of the money left in there after Yoshi's death?

[Kali]

Good point.

Were there ATM's back then, because I doubt they could have gone into a bank to withdrawl it. Maybe Yoshi had cash in the house. Cartoon Yoshi definitly didn't have any money.

I think they mostly scavenged stuff. I mean, you wouldn't believe what people throw away (from an amature dump diver.)

[HorseTechie]

why.. they make like Robin Hood and steal from the rich! :razz:

Or as I pondered in my first fanfic, they...
1. Used Hamattao Yoshi life savings (like, Don hacked into his account at the ATM like in T2) No...?

2. They played the ponies! Played the lottery, placed bets on sporting events...?

3. But my fav.. they found jewelry to pawn, or collected loose change and the occasional dollar bill in the sewer... and least but not last, just plain begged people to donate to help em out of their horrible misfortunate skin desease. ;p

...who simply believes the TMNT go to the bathroom the same way we do!

[azure turtle]

Hmm....all good suggestions! I guess we have a lot of theories now as to how the turtles get money. But one thing always bothered me about the cartoon. How did Splinter find ingredients to make sushi? It boggles the mind :???:

[Kali]

You can order take-out sushi, just like pizza. Problem is, it's a lot more expensive. Or maybe he did make it himself, though fishing in the sewers does not sound appetizing.

[azure turtle]

Fishing in the sewers?! Yuck!!! I'd rather battle the Rat King then eat sewer sushi......

[Skeletoncrew]

Maybe he's a magickal rat. All he has to do is wiggle his nose and *bam!* sushi on the table!

Or maybe whatever it is that I'm coming down with is rotting my brain.

[azure turtle]

LOL! Ya, just like Samantha from Bewitched! He's a radical rat, after all. Maybe that implies that he's magical?

[Kali]

Yes, it's the return of the Magical Ninja Powers!

[Skeletoncrew]

And they all say, "Oh well there never was there ever, a rat so clever as the magical Mister Splinter!"

Or something to that effect. To the tune of Mr. Mistopholies from Cats of course...

My brain is definately rotting.

[azure turtle]

Mr. Mistopholies! Yes! Cats! Ummm.....I don't how you came up with that, Skeletoncrew. I'm very worried...
*feels her forehead*
Do you feel okay? Are you coming down with something?

[Skeletoncrew]

I AM coming down with something. My throat has that irritated feel, my head feels icky, and you know those glands near your jaw that swell up when you're sick? They're swollen and aching. I don't feel like I have a temperature, but I'm definately low energy.

Of course, today is my day off. I'll probably get well in time for work Saturday.

[Kali]

I'll take care of you! I hardly ever get sick, so I wouldn't have to worry about catching anything.

[azure turtle]

Poor Skeletoncrew.
*gives her some tynenol cold*
Have some of this! Drugs make people feel better. Somehow, I think this had a double meaning.....
Anyway, I really hope you feel better, Skeletoncrew! Being sick sucks, so get well soon!

[Skeletoncrew]

Thanks, but I'll have to refuse the tylenol...I avoid meds when I can. And its best to avoid fever suppressents unless you have a major fever. Not sure whether I have one or not.

I did go ahead and get my favorite "sick" food...pizza! Don't ask me why, but I tend to crave it when I'm unwell. I guess its comfort food.

[Kali]

I can't eat a thing when I'm sick. Come to think of it, I don't eat much when I'm well, either.

[Skeletoncrew]

I'm a foodie. I love good food. I'm not eatting much right now...but when I'm like this I'm very picky about what I will eat.

[Kali]

Just looking at food makes me sick sometimes. I'm not really sick or anything, just the thought of eating makes my stomach do flips. Except chocolate, although sometimes I refuse to eat even that.

[Skeletoncrew]

I have some sort of a blood sugar issue...I have to eat a little every two hours or so. Otherwise I become evil or ill feeling.

[Kali]

Otherwise you become evil? Wow, must be some condition. I just eat whenever I'm hungry. Unfortunatly my mom still feeds me like I'm going through puberty. I've stopped growing! I don't need that much food!

[Skeletoncrew]

Heh heh heh...yeah I can get nasty if I'm not fed on time. Fortunately, I've been losing weight, not gaining...so I must not be doing anything wrong.

[Kali]

Losing is good, but not too much. I need to drop about five pounds, myself.

[Skeletoncrew]

I've still got some extra to lose. I'd never let myself get too thin. I don't think its attractive.

[azure turtle]

Oy! Skeletoncrew, I think you're fine the way you are, dudette. If you don't wanna take any medication, then I shall offer a prayer for you to the great turtle gods. And I hope the pizza you ordered will soothe your illness :wink:

[SPEEd]

yeah good idea

[Skeletoncrew]

Thanks, I'm sure I'll get better fast! Still wish I had someone here to pamper me. Being sick is a bit better when there is someone else around to make tea for you!

[azure turtle]

Yep, I know the feeling. I got sick the first week of my first quarter in college, and no one was around to give me chicken soup, or bring me some food. Hell, no one really cared :sad: But I got better, and I'm doing fine now (except for the stress and work part). I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better, Skeletoncrew!

[Skeletoncrew]

It probably helps that I got some good news today too...I'm going on a two-week trip to Italy, Sicily, and Malta in May! Its a historical tour/lecture through Purdue University (where my dad is currently a student in their Masters program, as well as a teaching assistant). My dad decided that he wanted to go, and we've barely seen each other for about 3 years, so he's taking me with him!

[azure turtle]

Dudette! That is SO awesome! I have always wanted to do a European vacation! Is this your first time going to Europe?? Man, almost everyone I know has been to Europe. Friends, family, etc. Everyone except me! I'm sure the Europeans would enjoy seeing a blue turtle grace their respective countries....
And oh! My friend said Italian food (authentic) is some of the best food he's ever had!
*drools*
I hope my parents decide to go to Europe sometime soon!

[Skeletoncrew]

I went to Vienna, Austria when I was much younger. It was WONDERFUL. I also went to England in 1996. I love the age of things over there. American architecture just doesn't tend to have any soul as far as I'm concerned.

[azure turtle]

That's so cool. I love to travel! I can't wait to visit Europe!
*jumps up and down with excitement*

[Skeletoncrew]

You know whats funny? I understand the Turtles visited Paris. (In the cartoon? My memory is fuzzy.) Personally, I don't think they'd want to go anywhere near Paris because they don't wear shoes.

I read that Paris has a serious dog poop problem. There's something like 3 dogs per person there, and people don't clean up after them well. There's also a certain amount of people who are injured on a daily basis by dog poo slip and falls! How embarassing/gross would that be?!

[azure turtle]

EWWWW! That's disgusting!
*makes a mental note: watch the ground when visiting Paris*
Thanks for the heads up, Skeletoncrew!

[Skeletoncrew]

My brain stores parts of odd facts like that. BTW, shouldn't you be ducking the off-topic police? 'Cause we're kinda off it.

[azure turtle]

*looks up at the sky, fearfully*
AHHHH! I hate anvils!!
*runs out of the thread*

[Skeletoncrew]

Here's one: How does Mikey sell his poems and stories? If he's getting checks made out to Mr. Michael Angelo he can't exactly give them to April to cash.

[azure turtle]

Hey, that's true! I never thought of that. Maybe April has connections with the bank? Y'know, she's got a cousin who's the bank manager, who accepts the check. I really don't know any other explanation...

Purdue U? ohh.. that's cool! Since I live in Indiana, that college had been on my list of possiblities. I ended up going to Findlay U in Ohio instead.

But, whoa... you're going abroad in May? :razz:

Okay, I go back on topic now... (good question!) Well, I think Mike could be using April name as a pen name or something, so then she can cash them...?

[Kali]

First, I think it's so cool that you're going to Europe!

Okay, as for the question. I know! I did this with my parents! Before I got my bank account set up, I used to sign my pay checks over to my parents, then they could cash them, and give me the money.

[Ratking]

hey kali, long time no see. Have you got a job yet?

[Skeletoncrew]

That would make sense Kali. I had also thought about Horse Techie's suggestion. He could tell them to use the "pen name" Michaelangelo, but write the checks to April O'Neil.

[Skeletoncrew]

Here's another question about the Turtles? What species of turtle are they?

[Ratking]

the ninja-pizza type

[azure turtle]

*thinks carefully*
Hmm...I dunno. Snapping turtles??

[Skeletoncrew]

You know what I meant! Originally! Were they box turtles?

[Ratking]

no thats tokka. The figures also tell a different story as every one of them is a different colour.

[azure turtle]

*looks at Skeletoncrew curiously*
Box turtles? I thought they lived in a bowl?
:???:

[Ratking]

hmm

[RaphRockz]

all i know is that the ooze did it all to them.

[coolmike1586]

YUPPERS!!!! :grin:

[Ratking]

ok

[Skeletoncrew]

Box turtles are a kind of turtle that are popular as pets. I was looking at a turtle book tonight and got to wondering about it. There are so many types...some are pretty cool looking!

[Ratking]

ok x 2

[azure turtle]

*slaps his forehead as the light bulb goes on*
OOOOHH! That makes sense. You're planning on buying a pet turtle, Skeletoncrew? That's totally tubular, dudette!

[Skeletoncrew]

No. I don't want a pet turtle. I was at the book store and decided to see if they had any books on them. There are surprisingly few. Turtles just aren't terribly popular reptiles. I guess they're not as sexy as snakes, nor cute as lizards. Or some such nonsense.

If I were to get another pet, I want a rat again! They rock!

[azure turtle]

*pouts*
But turtles make wonderful pets! I know cuz I used to be one :wink:
Oh, I'm sure Ratking will really like you if you got a pet rat.

[Skeletoncrew]

I used to have 21 pet rats! They were WONDERFUL! I miss them.

Hey, I like mutant turtles...but regular ones are kinda boring.

[azure turtle]

21?! Wow! You must've really liked 'em :wink:

And of course, everyone loves mutant turtles.

[Ratking]

Skeletoncrew wrote:

21 ! thats nearly more than me

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, I kinda got addicted. It didn't help that I have a friend who is a real pet nut...and we'd go to pet stores together...

I started out with just females, but there were a pair of males at this mall shop that had been there for months. I finally broke down and got them. Then one of my girls got out and introduced herself to one of the boys...And then I had lots of BABY RATTIES!

[Ratking]

arrrr yes

[coolmike1586]

peoples i am goin to bed! night all, PM sometime

AIM:Mikeyfftn
Yahoo: coolmike1586

[azure turtle]

G'night, Mikey!

[Ratking]

no worries, see ya mate

[coolmike1586]

night

[Ratking]

what time is it there?

[Skeletoncrew]

Here in Oregon its 12:46am.

[Ratking]

its 7:59pm in auzzie

[Skeletoncrew]

So do you have fancy rats in Auzzie? Siamese, dumbo earred, tailess, rex, etc?

[Ratking]

sorry mate i wouldn't have a clue

[Skeletoncrew]

We've got all sorts over here. I know England has more, and they're larger. Colors and types were established there much earlier than here. If you're curious visit http://www.rmca.org/ You can find pics of different types under "Rat Standards"

[Ratking]

oh ok

uh yea well i can count to 1, 2, 4, 5 so what! hehe :wink: :grin:

[HorseTechie]

*baps coolmike fer being a wiseA* :razz:

[SPEEd]

They go to the bathroom the same way a turtle does! Ok, next topic please! lol.

[Skeletoncrew]

So no one has any idea what species of turtle the TMNT are?

[azure turtle]

I've got no idea. I'm assuming that they're the most common species of turtle, probably those box turtles you mentioned earlier. I don't think this was ever discussed in the cartoon and definitely not in the movies. Were there any hints in the comics or TNM?

[Skeletoncrew]

Not that I've seen. But box turtles have rather distinctive red and yello facial markings. Though come to think of it...I may have read something where Splinter mentions their markings fading as they grew. But that may have been a fan-fic. I don't remember.

[azure turtle]

Huh. I can't really help in the comic area, since I've just started collecting those. As for TNM, I didn't get to see as many episodes as I had wanted. Maybe HorseTechie or Kali can shed some light on this topic.

[Kali]

I don't think we'll ever know what species the Turtles are, unless you want to ask Peter or Kevin. I can't recall any canon hints, but people have mentioned red-eared something or other, and maybe box turtles.

[azure turtle]

Box turtles seem to be the most mentioned type of turtle. Maybe they really were box turtles. I don't think this question will ever be answered, unless Eastman or Laird spill their guts.

[coolmike1586]

well look at it this way, in TMNT 2 and 3 the turtles started gettin spots on there costumes and in tmnt 1 they didnt have any so MAYBE that says sumthin, i dont know i am tryin to help

[coolmike1586]

*thanks horsie tech i need that*

[Skeletoncrew]

Maybe it says they were getting more sunlight and developing freckles! :smile:

[coolmike1586]

turtles wit freckles? hmm i doubt that *gives SC a good whap on da head* wake up!

[Skeletoncrew]

Hey!
*returns smack to the the head*
Okay, maybe they're developing skin cancer!
Is that any better?

[coolmike1586]

*glares at SC* :grin: i dun tink so!

[Skeletoncrew]

Okay, they started having acne problems!

[coolmike1586]

LOL NOW THATS FUNNY!

[Skeletoncrew]

You would appreciate that suggestion!

So you think they use Noxema?

[coolmike1586]

no they use oxy!

[azure turtle]

Turtles and zits?! Now that's just plain creepy....

[SPEEd]

Yeah it is.

[coolmike1586]

hey now im over it!

[SPEEd]

Ok I think I seen zits on the turtles in TMNT: 3 on Leo and Don. Like big dots.

[Skeletoncrew]

Well, they ARE (or rather were) teenagers. Teens and zits go hand in hand!

[azure turtle]

Okay, you've got a point there, Skeletoncrew. Hmmm....it's kinda weird, since only human teens get zits, but they're turtle teens. Wait a minute, is this an oxymoron? I'm so confused :???:

[Skeletoncrew]

I guess it all depends on how human they are. They seem to be more or less turtle in different incarnations. For instance, they didn't have tails in the movies (I haven't seen the third), or the cartoon. That indicates slightly more human anatomy to me.

[azure turtle]

Hey! That's true! I've noticed that too. They only seem to have tails in the comic books. I always thought they left the tails off in the cartoon just for simplicity, but the movie doesn't have them with tails either. That's odd.....

[Skeletoncrew]

Maybe that was for simplicity too. Perhaps the tails would have gotten in the way and broken off. :eek:

[azure turtle]

*grabs his tail*
The horror!! I don't want anything like that happening to my precious lil' tail!

[Skeletoncrew]

Especially considering how important the tale is to male turtles!

[azure turtle]

*sweat drop*
Eh, heh heh....of course! It's very important!

[Skeletoncrew]

I read all about it Friday night...I had no idea just how imporant that portion of turtle anatomy is!

[azure turtle]

*quickly pulls out a book on turtle anatomy*
Now, lemme see.....why exactly is my tail so important to me?
*starts thumbing through the pages*

[Skeletoncrew]

*laughs at Azure*

[azure turtle]

*finds the info. he's looking for under the chapter about mating*
Great oogly moogly! So that's why it's so important! I better keep a closer eye on my tail....

[Skeletoncrew]

Indeed! And that information is also what makes the tailess turtle incarnations just a little strange.

[azure turtle]

Tail-less turtles?
*shudders*
I guess the movie and cartoon versions of the TMNT are more human than their comic book counterparts.

[Skeletoncrew]

Guess so. So does that mean they're wearing green BVDs under their shells in the cartoons?

[azure turtle]

Huh. I wouldn't know. I've never tried looking up their shells. :razz:

[Skeletoncrew]

We'll have to ask Kali. That sounds like something she'd do!

[azure turtle]

:lol: It'll be interesting to see what Kali's response to this is. Hopefully, she'll feel a lot better tomorrow when she gives us her input.

[Skeletoncrew]

Hope she doesn't beat us soundly for suggesting that she'd be peering up turtle shells!

[azure turtle]

Ah! I hope not!
*quivers in fear*

[Kali]

*walks into the thread and peers around*

...

*turns and walks back out*

[HorseTechie]

*lol* gee... I miss out on a LOT in a day!

But yeah, ever since doing a full-out report on normal turtles for Biology -- I also forbid the notion of tail-less TMNT! :evilgrin:

I also think the TMNT are three-toed box turtles. Cause the other turtles with bright red and yellow markings on the head are water sliders (or painted turtles). Those type also have webbed feet.

Yeah... I spent my childhood watching PBS and the Discovery channel to become the science nut that I am.

nonethess... I was ROTFL the first time when they showed how the Galapagos tortoises get it on...

[Machias Banshee]

oy, the memories...

With the cartoon turtles, i thought their tails were just curled up or something.

Strange question alert---
If the turtles are part turtle/part human, how would they mate? I dont think reptiles have the exact same equipment as mammals. I dont know, never exactly ever got that far... :oops: um i mean, i just wondered.

*hopes Kali doesnt see this reply*

Heh heh, too late. Though if we are going to debate that particular question, we should make a new thread, to warn people.

But I don't know either. I always thought they were human enough to mate with humans, if not reproduce.

[HorseTechie]

:razz:

[Machias Banshee]

so i've read... :smile: Just wondering. Another unanswerable question of the mystery that is TMNT.

[Kali]

Though wouldn't it be fun finding out?

[Machias Banshee]

I dont think the clones would apprecite us telling them to 'turn and cough' for us...

Azure? :evilgrin: hmmm...how to get them to show and tell...

[HorseTechie]

Then go and find Raph-Clone and see! :grin:

*scoots out of THIS thread for way of what could happen next*

[Machias Banshee]

They still chillin' in the caves? Wow, they dont get out much do they?

[Kali]

Nah, I don't think they did anything this whole week. We're getting so many regualr posters.

[Machias Banshee]

but still no sign of chromedome, or michaelangelo or DarthRaphael! Unsolved TurtleMysteries!

[azure turtle]

*sees the look Machias is giving him*
Eek! Uh, hey HorseTechie, wait for me!

Dont worry Azure, I'd never do any intentional harm to you. Youre too nice, and i gotta have allies in the paintball fights. :wink:

Oh, okay. If you say so :grin:

Looks like she's not interested.

yeah... she's so lonely. And I don't think my TMNT figures do her any justice!

[azure turtle]

LOL!! Ah well, maybe Cupid will find her a match soon. :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

let's hope...

[HorseTechie]

*heehee* If hubby will let me get another turtle!

Oo... this reminds me, one time hubby was looking at one of my TMNT figures, and he asked "Where's his *beep*?"

now I gotta go make dinner... ciao!

[Kali]

LOL! *snicker* Buh bye!

[Machias Banshee]

*snicker* anatomically correct TMNT figures? Now THATS scary! bye Kali!

[azure turtle]

Gadzooks! I dunno what to think about that, HorseTechie. It is rather disturbing :smile:

[Kali]

All I can think is life size! &lt;---*sign I'm getting better*

[azure turtle]

:lol: She's starting to be more like her old self, fellow mutants!
*does the happy dance*

[Kali]

:lol: Yes. I'm still a little zoned, but I'm feeling more like myself. I could use a massage though. Or a session on the rack. I need to be detensed!

[azure turtle]

Oooh, a session on the rack! Need any help with that? :evilgrin:

[Kali]

*lies down* Yeah, can you get the wrist restraints?

[azure turtle]

*runs to the rack and secures the wrist restraints*
Okay, we're good to go. Just give the word.

[Kali]

*takes a deep breath* Okay, start it up!

[azure turtle]

Uh....you sure about this? Well, if you say so.
*nervously turns the wheel*

[Kali]

*sounds of several small pops* Ah, that feels better. One more turn.

[azure turtle]

*sweat drop*
A-a-are you sure???
*gulp*
Okay....
*turns the wheel once more*

[Kali]

Okay, that's good. Man, I need one of these at home. It really relaxes those stiff joints.

[azure turtle]

*is about to faint, but catches himself*
Dudette, you are seriously hardcore....
I don't think I can last one turn on the rack.

[Kali]

Don't worry, I won't ask you to try. Seriously though, I need to look into getting something like this IRL. Something that'll help me stretch, though I think I'll do yoga instead of springing for a rack.

[azure turtle]

Yep, I think Yoga is a safer bet than buying a rack. Then you'll be able to bend your body into all kinds of strange shapes. Won't that be fun? :smile:

[Kali]

:evilgrin: Yes, that would be loads of fun. Although the rack has its advantages too.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Weeeeee!*Splat* gotta work on those landings!

Bendy bendy!

But what would you do if you could bend like that?

Problems sratching your back? PA! a thing of the past!

[Kali]

What would I do? *raises eyebrow* If you think I'd scratch my back, you don't know me very well. Okay, I need another turn.

[HorseTechie]

Nah... you don' need a rack. Just a willing participant to pull at your limbs!

Lessee... hubby as walked on my spine, pulled on my arms and legs and neck till I was pleading mercy, and then breaks out the oil... *ahem* ;p

Oh, speaking of 'correct turtles' I do know that the back flipping Leo and Raph DO have tails!

[azure turtle]

Woah, calm down there, Kali and HT! :smile:
So some action figs do have tails? This whole "tail" issue is rather mysterious....

[HorseTechie]

*looks innocent*

Yeah... another reason why I've wanted one of those back flipping figures. They're so illusive now...

[Kali]

But the Mike and Don figures don't have tails? Did they make a back-flipping Mike and Don?

:eek: I am an Innocent! Please i want to keep my mind free of dirty thoughts.

*Chases those dirty thoughs away*
*Oh that was a good one, I think I'll keep it*

[Kali]

LOL!

Lucky me! My brother's at home teacher is also a traveling masseuse! She promised a session the next time she comes.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Speaking of at home teachers My daughter's Play Therapist (Spell?) loves to read my fanfics and look at my art when she comes.

Or maybe it's bacuse I lock her in the house until she looks at them :evilgrin:

[Kali]

Heh heh, my parents are like that. I'd rather just keep to myself, but no... they have to be proud of their talented artist daughter.

"Honey, go get that picture you won that award for."
*groan*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Funny I have the feeling my parents are ashamed of my 'turtle problem'

All though when we have company I get
'go get that lovey parrot you breed and won best breeder for'

or

' get Monty to give your nan a kiss'

[Kali]

Parents are so annoying, aren't they?

[SeaThreePeeO]

yes very! But I bet Anastasia will say the same about me when she's my age!

[Kali]

I bet! That darn generation gap.

[azure turtle]

Heh heh.....I can relate to that. Whenever guests come over, my parents always proudly display any awards I've won on our fireplace. Bah, I can't stand it when they do that. But alas, parents are parents. :smile:

[Machias Banshee]

gotta love them :smile: Bet the turtles feel like that sometimes...

[azure turtle]

I don't know if I can see Splinter doing that kind of "parenty" stuff. My parents, though, don't hesitate to say things like, "Oh, did you see little Azure's award? He's so smart!" Eh, I get nervous when I'm put on the spot like that.

[Machias Banshee]

Well, he did raise the guys, so i would think he's entitled to put the guys through SOME torture.

[azure turtle]

You've defintely got a point. Now that I think about it, he probably wouldn't hesitate to embarass them a little. After all, raising four teenagers probably gave him a few gray hairs. :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

the stories i know... :evilgrin:

Pa! teenagers! Nothing! You should try raising an ADHD toddler with the strength of ten men and an attitude to match. It's like living with a mini Raph, I have to be careful what I say to her. One day I told her that the picture she was drawing was nice and then she stabbed me in the neck with a pencil! :sad:

[azure turtle]

*gasps in terror*
What kind of child is it????

[HorseTechie]

ack... *is not sure she wants children now* And this coming from someone who used to handle 800 pound horse babies! :razz:

But anyhoo, back on that semi-related to topic qyuestion: is there a Back Flipping Don and Mike with tails?

I don't know! I never seen em. Hrmm... and if I never seen them, do they really exist? (another something to ask Dan Berger)

[tkukoc2200]

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for all the good info on this topic, keep it up. This is great, wow ..

[azure turtle]

Maybe they have 'em listed at the official site? I would check, but I need to get back to studying. I just dropped in for a quick post :grin:

[HorseTechie]

yeah, they actually do have certain toy figure makes from different years up there... I haven't checked it recently for what I seek though.

*wonder if frined will sell me her flipping Raph figure instead* :evilgrin:

[Kali]

I just scanned through their list and couldn't find them. Any idea what year they were released? Maybe I just passed them over.

[HorseTechie]

I don't know... that's the thing. But they do look more like how they were drawn in the early Mirage comic. Very different in appearance from the regular Playmate ones.

Ebay doesn't have any right now either.

[azure turtle]

Yep, I looked over the list too, and I couldn't find them. Were they released under a different name??

[HorseTechie]

Uhhh... *blink* I think we should ask Dan then!

[azure turtle]

A good idea, HT! I'd write him, but I recently wrote him that letter regarding Mikey's name change. I don't want to bother him again for a while :neutral: He may end up ignoring me if I write him too much.

[Machias Banshee]

Yeah, we'll see it in the news:

A mutant bipedal blue-colored turtle with raging hormones is stalking TMNT webmaster Dan Berger. More news as it develops!

:lol:
