So I met this TMNT fan

Turtle Dove · 12-17-2005, 05:32 PM

Today I met this guy and we went out for lunch then he invited me to his place. He said he had a surprise for me.

I kinda looked at him funny but he was cool. Guess what he has? boxs of the orignal TMNT!,plus the old VHS tapes! Even the old pizza coupons that where on the tapes!

Well we sat back and watched the DVDs he had bought. Ah the theme song,the music on the show and ending theme..... it brought back so many memories!

Jesse was his name

he sat there "dee dumming" the ending theme song. You know I never realized how much I missed the carefree cartoons of the 80's. Everything seems so happy then, and not a worry in the world if you where 8 years old.You just watched TMNT,Heman, and stuff and plated with your toys.

In fact when I got home, I decided to watch my DVds, my dad walked in the room and was all excited. He missed them too. So he sat with me and watched a few episodes.

Well my new friend was doing quizs,

with me on the phone. Amazing I remembered so much of the old show. I also recall playing with my guy friends as a kid and we took this She Ra doll and made her marry Donnie. She Ra was me so I married Donnie ,then I kidnapped donnie and married Mikey.

Back then I didn't like Raphael very much, I always thought he was a jerk-but now at age 24 do I like Raph? YUP!

So what was your best memories with the old show?

I started to get pretty worried when he wanted you to go to his house with him, but it's cool that you found someone to hang with

Turtle Dove · 12-17-2005, 07:47 PM

Naw not a bf- just a TMNT fan to talk to. FEels nice-I wa starting to get lonely talking about TMNT to myself

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 12-17-2005, 09:36 PM

That's cute... When I was a kid my only two really close friends were boys and when the series came was out all we did was play ninja turtles. I never grew out of my love for it I just didn't have anyone to go on about it with later in life , like most of highschool . Hooray for college though. I found a ton of TMNT lovers in animation of course

Turtle Dove · 12-17-2005, 09:51 PM

hey that is great- but sadly to many Grew up and have become bitter. Anybody remember "The Breakfast Club"? remember what that 1 girl said,"When you grow up, your heart dies.."

Sad but I think it's true-ONLY true if you let your childhood and what made you laugh go. Like Jesus Christ said,"You must live again like a child..."

He means keep that heart pure and innoicent, I see nothing wrong with loving Transformers,or Ninja Turtles.....or whatever made you happy asa kid. But time and time again I get yelled at by my sister. SHe whined saying to let go of that stuff and just grow up.

BAH- Did you know because my sister forced her husband to let go of his childhood, he went into deep depression and divorced her? He collected baseball cards TONS! and loved history and the old school stuff like me. But my sister made him throw it all away and tried to control him.

Poor thing....

My parents pretty much accepted it cause they se I am hapy and my dad loved those cartoons.He is waiting for me to get the He-Man DVDs

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 12-17-2005, 11:54 PM

never, never are you too old to like TMNT or he-man

I am waiting to have some extra cash to get some thunder cats too.

THEY RELEASED TC TOYS???? DUDE..I'm there

TheShowstoppa · 12-18-2005, 01:54 AM

I'm always made fun of at work for wearing my TMNT jacket. It kinda gets old. People dawg on me cause I have my Camaro decked out in TMNT stuff. Again, It's getting old. I don't really care, though, cause I am not changing for anyone. TMNT is almost like my heart and soul.

Congrats for finding someone close to talk TMNT with. I wish I had that, but no one here likes them but me.

METALHEAD · 12-18-2005, 02:00 AM

well, i heard they might make a new toy line of thundercats with a new cartoon like he-man for the year 2007, in the meantime any he-man fan might wanna know this, IF the live action movie of he-man (2006) does well we might get back the he-man toyline, but its a maybe but i hope so for it! that and live action transformers (2007)

NinjaTurtlesFan · 12-18-2005, 06:15 AM

I have a lot of great memories from the old days. Too many to write down. A great moment was when I got the Michaelangelo toy. It was like having gold in your hands!

I am very surprised every time I read that parents like the turtles, too. Mine, and especially my dad says I should do other things then liking the turtles.
He always nags when he sees me drawing the turtles like "Bah, how boring. You should grow up more and do diversified things."

*sdp* · 12-18-2005, 11:06 AM

I'm a big Pokemon fan and i wear shirts around all the time, most people think nothing of it, the only time i ever got crap from it was during jr. high, when you're supposed to act 'mature'. But yeah, besides those two years i've worn my shirts proudly wear them, if i ever got crap i can just easily go 'FU buddy', being made fun wouldn't matter to me.

*Buslady* · 12-18-2005, 11:18 AM

I know how you feel. Back in high school ('8

I really didnt have any friend to talk the fandom with (as in TMNT, transformers,etc) until my freshman year...my buddy Bryon was afraid to mention he liked transformers...

we're still best friends.

having a guy friend who shares the same interests is great...I never hung around with the little popular trendy chicks ...I was in the cool weirdo group...eeeverybody knew who we were

ok tthat's weird..i can't type 1988 without a smilie showing up HAHAH!!

Whoah...SDP...is that Sonic's ROOM!??!? I thought my son was a mess!!!

BlueSonnet · 12-18-2005, 03:36 PM

Probably have too many to pick a specific one out. I did wear a red headband like the turtles only it was around the head rather than the eyes. Come to think of it, in the midst of buying the merchandise we got a Tmnt youngerster table at some point where my brother and i ate a pizza turtle style. Cowabunga yay.

*cowabunga14* · 12-18-2005, 05:04 PM

That's great that you have a new friend whose into TMNT. I wish there was more people in the world like that. A friend that goes to the same church as me is into Turtles and we talk about 'em every once in a while.

th- th- thu- thundercats!

Thundercats are on the move,
thundercats are loose!
Feel the magic, hear the roar,
thundercats are loose.

Thunder thunder thunder thundercats! (wicked guitar solo)

Thunder thunder thunder thundercats! (another wicked guitar solo)

Thunder thunder thunder thundercats! (yet another wicked guitar solo)

Thunder thunder thunder thundercats! (bad-ass guitar)

God, I miss those days...

And thank god for retrojunk

Turtle Dove · 12-19-2005, 10:03 AM

Ah, those where the days!

*zkarlette* · 12-20-2005, 02:27 PM

I really don't understand why they haven't brought back the Thundercats at all ... they should have their new toon by now...Thankfully now we have the old season DVDs which are kind of expensive too...

I miss the She-Ra toons as well

Im glad you found someone to talk TMNT, I mostly keep it to myself now, most of the adults I talk to now are those of the dead heart kind

Shreddette · 12-21-2005, 05:27 PM

Aw, that must be nice. I'm turning 30 in May and I find it hard to find peeps in my age range (I hang out with just about any age group, really, aside from turdlers and babies) that are into that kind of stuff. Or any of the stuff I am into, really.

I am happy for you!

Silent FOx · 12-26-2005, 10:44 AM

I have two distinct memories of the show when I was a kid.
The first was when me and my best friend would wake up early on saturday morning and eat breakfast while watching TMNT. We even had the TMNT breakfast trays!

My second favorite memory is playing with all my TMNT figures on the homemade TMNT sewer my uncle made. He made it out of a bookshelf with multiple levels, a tunnel that ran from the top down, and some type of material as a floor. I wish I still had it, unfortunately my dad threw it away
