tmnt in 2003

I'm new to the forum but I used to love the turtles back when I was in high school. Unfortunatley when I moved out I forgot all about those four terrapin teenagers entirely (whew, try saying that ten times fast)
Fast forward about a decade and I’m watching Saturday mourning cartoons with my son and all the sudden I see them... I was so excited I almost spewed Captain Crunch all of the kitchen counter. I think it was the 'Meet Casey Jones' episode, and I loved it, it was hilarious, action packed, and basically the only cartoon I'd be willing to watch even without a kid.
About three days go by and I'm at Wal-Mart looking for this Bob the Builder playset I had promised my son. I finally find it and load it in the cart, and as I'm leaving I spot some TMNT figures! They had every turtle, so needless to say I purchased the lot of them... along with Junior's now favorite talking plush toy (okay in hindsight I probably should have gotten Sylvester something less annoying, the damn thing makes jack hammer noises and vibrates every five seconds!).
Of course I’m thinking I’m the only guy in his early to mid "cough" twenties, raising a family, paying bills and still has the ability to get excited over some action figures, but curiosity takes over and I head to the library and get online, I find this site, browes a few threads, and decide to register.
