What do you owe to TMNT?

[Dane E5R]

Sittin' around, not too long ago, I discovered this..
A majority of the better aspects of my life, I owe to the TMNT. Sound ridiculous? I know. But it's true. Let me show you.

1. The first things I ever drew were ninja turtles. So if it weren't for the TMNT, I would've never started drawing.
2. My love for the martial arts is born, thanks to 4 ass kickin' terrapins.
3. I meet 3 awesome cats in my high school acting class. We're brought together by a common interest: The TMNT. After many years, these cats are still my best friends today.
4. After working on an amerimanga/"mock" anime series for 8 years, it's finally on it's way to being brought to life in the form of a flash animation series. How do I get involved with flash animation? My buddy Rob. How do I meet Rob? Through working on the flash series MNT.

So there you go. Not ALL of the best aspects, but a great deal of them, I owe to the TMNT. God bless Eastman and Laird.

How 'bout the rest of you? What do you owe to the TMNT?
