That OTHER Ninja Turtle...
 

My husband went into a collectible store the other day and asked if they had any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merchandise. Unfortunately, the employee said no, but then he started reminiscing:

Employee: Oh, yeah! TMNT was a great show! I used to watch it all the time! What were their names again? Let's see, there was Valentino...

My husband: :blanksta: Uhm, I'm pretty sure Valentino was a lover, not a renaissance artist...

I laughed so hard when he told me the story, I just had to share it with you guys. :D

I can just see it now - Valentino, the fifth turtle:

But Master Splinter, why do we have to kick the bad guys' butts? Can't we romance them instead? We could start by sending some flowers, then maybe chocolates... :lol:

lmao thats funny stuff :P
Gotta love the love comic shops have for tmnt!

:snickers:...Valentino...:snickers:

The only true fifth turtle is Benvenuto!

Actually the "fifth" turtle is really Peter Best, who was the drummer for a short period of time before Mikey joined the group for licensing purposes.

No! The only one and TRUE 5th Turtle is Ven- *is shot by Laird Sniper*

When I hear this I imagine a flamboyant turtle with a top hat on and a rose in his mouth.

*Pounding table & LMAO*



Oops, mispelled again.

Syd, dude, your art is great!

syd, awesome interpretation!

Well crap Syd, ya beat me to it. This is amazing though, [shameless plug] you should toss it over in my valentine art thread ^_~ [/shameless plug]

:blanksta: I'm quite impressed myself.

What about me?!

:)

Nice art, Syd!

Thank you all! Thank you for favorite! http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4175/35188109sb5.jpg

Rooish! So far! XDDDD I'm so glad to see you again! Since you'd helped me out in thoes controversial treads of mine! I hadn't found the chance to thank you, now I actually do. XDDD. Thank you so much, Rooish!

Thanks! I'd have to toss it aver in your thread, but...considering it's not my idea...you know. ^ ^bbb
(I didn't intend to beat you... sorry if it turned out that way.)

This is about as bad as the Target employee when I picked up the recent movie on DVD.

"I used to watch that all the time back in the day. My favourite was Yoda - he was the smart one, right?"

Instead of causing an uproar, I bit my lip, smiled, and nodded.

Are you serious? :ohwell:

I would have corrected him: "No, that's definantly Star Wars... you know Ninja Turtles was the one with the Ninja Turtles right?"

:o

You win. At least the collectible store employee my husband talked to remembered that the Turtles were named after Italians. All your Target guy remembered was that they were GREEN. :lol:

Neat picture of Valentino, syd! :)

Thank you, Justice! Glad you like it! X>

Still pretty odd, since the Turtles are more well known than the artists they're named after.

Ha ha ha... I just wanted to share a similar appearance. I wasn't trying to win anything. ;)
