Did everyone see what Rose posted under Ninja Pizza on FB??

I laughed really hard because it very true.

I'll be honest I was sitting here this afternoon trying to think of a better nickname and am drawing a blank. But I am very interested to see what other people come up with

I actually think ''Sewer heads'' is a pretty funny nickname and I don't mind being called that. In fact, maybe Ill go ahead and change my username to SewerHead.

Someone on FB suggested Shell Heads which seems less insulting.

Sewer-Heads doesn't bug me too much, but I agree we should have a better name. (I'm kinda surprised we don't have one already, but then, as a Star Wars fan, there's never been a definitive name for that either.) I've seen the rather mundane "Turtle-Fan" used often, but...

Here's some ideas:

Shell Raisers

Ninja-Nerds

Ninja Nuts

Fanholes (Sounds dirty, meant as a play on manhole...)

Splinter Cellmates

Party Dudes

Foot Clan (Obvious...)

Shred-Heads

Beboppers

Shellackies

Shell-Heads

Green-Gang

Pizza-Pals

Half-Shell-Heroes

Turtle-Whacks (I like this one; we're whacky about the turtles and it's a play on Turtle Wax!)

You beat me to it Matty-angelo.

Stolen from Facebook:
Green Machine
Turtle Titans
Half Shellers
Turtle Timers
Turtlites
Mutant Maniacs
Shell Backs

Um...Not-so-Crocked Ninja Turtle Gang?

For members of this forum I use "Dromies" as a collective term.

I'VE GOT IT!!

THE PIZZA PARTY!

Sticking with "Ninja Turtle Fans." All the other ones sound horrific.

Sewerheads, translated, means sh*t for brains. That being said, I don't like it. Turtles fans has always worked for me.

While plain "Turtles fan" sounds just fine I think what Playmates was trying to accomplish was a way to define the long term, devoted TMNT follower from just a casual person who knows the Turtles but doesn't really follow the franchise.

The thing I have found odd about this whole thing is that at least in my experience it's usually been the fan base of a franchise that invents it's own nick name, not any of the property owners, license-rs whatever.

I like those! Better then Sewer Heads, lol. Turtle Titans is epic, Turtle Timers makes it known we've been around for awhile, and Turtlites is just...great. Yeah!

I like shell-heads, personally.

Ninja turtle fans works just as well though.

As I wrote on the Facebook, "Sewer Heads" also makes me think of the kind of nickname someone knee-deep into scat might earn.

I think if someone walking down the street (whether it's a Playmates employee or anybody) told me, "Hey, Sewer Head!" my automatic response would probably be a well-earned punch in the face. At the very least, a sincere "F*** you" right back.
