Well, in the nick cartoon, Raph has a set of drums. Perhaps he's musically talented too?

I was going to mention Mikey's pirate radio station... the Sewer Hour! Though since we're out of the 90's now, maybe a more modern Mikey would have a podcast. Or some sort of Youtube channel where he reviews the latest issues of his favourite comic books.

Well I don't know that this is a particularly useful skill per se, but my headcanon loves the idea of Splinter having skill with horticulture - maybe developed from his knowledge of poisons and homeopathic remedies. The idea of Splinter having a little garden of bonsai just makes me happy.

Given that he's the most zen and in touch with his spiritual side, I always thought that he'd be able to play some type of Japanese instrument as well - even if it was just the wind flute or something.

Ah! I'd almost forgotten about the radio station. And yeah, I could see him updating it to a podcast or audio blog, or maybe doing a little of both. A Pandora station, maybe?

Actually, now that you mention it, in the OT, Splinter DID have a small bonsai sitting in one corner of his room in a few scenes, particularly the episode where Shredder steals the Medilaser device. The bonsai can be seen in several shots, in the corner to the left of the entrance to his room.

Wait- aren't they ALL? Don't forget the COoOS Tour!!! (Which would add musical instruments to their collective skills, I guess....)

It's probably safe to assume that Splinter also takes care of the tree in the dojo in the nick show.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-02-2014, 06:31 PM

That would be a fair assumption. Heck, he probably planted it himself. What are the odds it grew there on its own?

And hey, between COoOS, SoTO and the Nick show, we know they all have mad dance-floor skillz.
