Does Splinter get the short end of the stick? - Page 3

**HorseTechie** · 03-13-2002, 06:20 PM

heh.. that's where hubby's mind is a lil warped. He thinks renting is a waste of money. *shrug*

**azure turtle** · 03-13-2002, 08:04 PM

(Ah, and thanks for the welcome, HT! I've been itching to join that group for a while, but I couldn't decide since it'd take up a good amount of my time. Well, I couldn't resist, so there I am! Someone named Micah visited my website and sent me a nice e-mail, inviting me to join ntml. I guess that's all I needed to be convinced. I haven't posted yet, since I don't know what to write about

)

**HorseTechie** · 03-13-2002, 08:15 PM

oh no! You were invited by Mica the crazy Mikey fan?! ;p

**Machias Banshee** · 03-13-2002, 08:23 PM

Mica vdoes the comic strip archive too, doesnt she? aI offered to help color some of the strips, just to help out. Gotta remember to send some examples...

DVD?? *GASP* whats that? it sounds like some sort of strange alien device! I have heard of these unusual round discs that show pictures sliding by a screen in rapid motions... but i never could believe it!!! Someday, i vow, i will search the universe and find these fantastical devices and bring them back to my homeworld, where video tapes, records and 8-tracks still exist....someday...

**azure turtle** · 03-13-2002, 08:28 PM

Yep, she's the one who invited me.
And good luck on your mission, Machias! Those strange silver discs are bound to show up there sooner or later.

**Kali** · 03-13-2002, 09:20 PM

Ah, do not fear Machias, I, too, am DVD less, although we probably have 300+ videos in our house. And guess what? I have records, too!
I can't even afford a VCR (I've got this one that plays, but can't record) so I doubt I'll be able to get a DVD player anytime soon.

*blank look*

Okay, what is NTML? Ninja Turtles Mailing List?

**azure turtle** · 03-14-2002, 01:55 AM

*ding ding*
We have a winner!!
*gives SC a chocolate chip cookie*

SeaThreePeeO · 03-14-2002, 02:15 AM

Hmmmmmmm DvDs. The most wonderful invention in the history of man. Shame about the region bit tho!

I mainly have Jackie Chan DvDs. Sadly you can't get any turtle VHS here, let alone DvDs.

**azure turtle** · 03-14-2002, 02:26 AM

Ya, that whole region thing is pretty annoying. I've always wanted to import some DVDs from Japan, but I don't have a DVD player that can play different regions. And that's a shame you can't get any TMNT tapes. You could always check ebay, Nun.

SeaThreePeeO · 03-14-2002, 02:33 AM

I don't trust places like Ebay. Been had too many times. I bought a Turtle cartoon tape from a Charity store recently and got it home only to find someone had taped over the first ep! That makes me so mad!

*Skeletoncrew* · 03-14-2002, 04:45 AM

Whooo-hoo! I won a chocolate chip cookie! You know, I love fancy desserts and all, but I don't think anything can beat a good chocolate chip cookie!

**HorseTechie** · 03-14-2002, 11:23 AM

*blink* They auctioon cookies on ebay too?

Yeah, you gotta learn which sellers are trustworthy or not. I learned to not deal with kids, so I hadn't experienced any bad transactions.

**azure turtle** · 03-14-2002, 01:05 PM

Ya, that's the one thing about ebay. For that little incident of mine, I thought the seller didn't ship my item. Almost a month later, it arrived in the mail. The CD case was broken, but the CD worked fine. Still, I wasn't too pleased with the shipping time or the packaging. Bah, that's why I restrict myself to bids under 15 dollars.

**HorseTechie** · 03-15-2002, 12:27 PM

ohh.. wait... do you guys have a Play Station 2, or a PC with a DVD-rom? Those can play DVD's as well. *feels like the only one here with a passion for the latest technical gadgetry* Okay, I don't yet have a PS2, but you kow, everything else is getting pretty cheap nowadays. ;P

**Machias Banshee** · 03-15-2002, 02:15 PM

Yow, we got off-topic!

Hmmm... wonder if the turtles have a DVD player?

**HorseTechie** · 03-15-2002, 02:22 PM

I'm sure Donny could have arranged for one. Did you see the size of that TV in the new comics?

**Machias Banshee** · 03-15-2002, 02:27 PM

NO, i take it its big?

It amazes me how that boy was able to learn all the stuff he did...no real school-based education, just Splinter's 'home-schooling' and playing around with stuff. Incredible.

SeaThreePeeO · 03-15-2002, 03:03 PM

I Have a PS2 and a Pc with a DvD ROM. But I prefer to use the DvD player.

*Looks at the tv in her newly arrived #2*

Is that big then? Never really paid much attention. Too busy squinting at the letters page. *Squints* Ooo I know her!

**HorseTechie** · 03-15-2002, 03:08 PM

I guess Don's one of those natural born geniuses.

Yeah... the TV in the comic looks like thos expensive big a screen TV's. Normal TV's are 1/3 that size (unless Lawson is drawing things out of proportion again).
