Weird TMNT stories

[Lightjump]

This thread is basically about all the weird stories that have to do with the turtles, they don't have to be from childhood as long as they have to do with the Turtles. For example, when I was six or so I watched the first turtles movie and when April said Casey was a 9-year old stuck in a 20-year Old's body, I thought he really was, I also thought that secret of the ooze was a prequel and that Keno was Casey before he was transformed into a 20-year old! Well just shows how literally I took things back in the day. But I can't wait to see all of the turtle stories you guy's have!

I used to think everyone at school was crazy for calling Tokka and Razhar, Bebop and Rocksteady. I thought that I was the most knowledgeable in the whole school because of that one thing that I knew how to tell a wolf from a warthog.

Because of the guy with the chainsaw in the first NES game who I thought was Leatherface or Jason Vorhees I thought this was because New Line made the TMNT movie and since New Line made all those Freddy Kruger movies that they wanted one of thir movie monsters to be in the TMNT game. It made perfect sense to me at 5.

I also remember having a conversation with a kid at school where I asked him
"I wonder why there aren't TMNT toys for the first movie?"
He replied
"Their is, they are called the Movie Action Turtles."
Gullible me believed him on that one for way too long, wondering how did I miss those in toy stores, and why aren't there a picture of them on the back of the boxes anymore?

I also thought the pie commercials ending of fresh from the sewer was a factual statement said with pride. "Authentic sewer flavor?" I never ate one by the way lol

Just one story I remember,

I was watching an episode of the next mutation (I was 12 or so) and my father walks into my room.
He looked at the screen for about 1min and asked me why some lizards fighting some creepy looking turtles.
I said: They are ninja turtles and they are fighting the DRAGONS because they want to save New York.
1min silence then my father asks: Can I watch it with you?

I know Next mutation is horrible, but at least it brought me and my father to watch it together

There was this one kid at school who kept crying,"Technodrome," so to speak. This was back in the very early 90's, and I was a first grader at the time. This kid lied about everything and he swore up and down they made a technodrome. I wonder if this toy was rare because no one in Texarkana/Hooks Texas had the friggin thing. I asked my mom if I could go to the Mall on a particular Saturday, so she took me and a buddy of mine to KB Toys.(I think that was the same Saturday we played hell out of the TMNT arcade game.) Low and behold, there it was. They had tuns of them, so I knew right then and there that I'd found what I wanted for my 8th birthday. It was weird to me because the chronic liar was telling the truth for once.

I used to think Shredder was a robot.

I remember being at some soccer game. I can't remember if my sister was playing or one of my cousins, but all I remember is having a couple of my TMNT figures with me and some kid told me they actually killed people. Of course back then I knew nothing of the Mirage comics, so naturally I thought he was talking about the Turtles of the cartoon series. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that moment and have a more meaningful conversation with that kid about the Ninja Turtles.
