What the turtles sleep in

But yeah those are the colors I use when coloring pictures of them lol. Yes I'm 23 and still color, back off

True. I have no other explanation.

I had thought they were the same colors as my old toys, but I thought I might be misremembering or wishful.

Other than those thoughts, I spent time trying to read Danish.

I'll be really impressed, if you can, Courk (unless your from Sweden or something like that). Danish has a different word composition than english.

But, though you can't read it, has any of you found out, that you can click on the TV area and Don's lab area as well?

[Scandia]

I have taken two semesters of German, so I was able to understand some of it. I could also tell that it was Danish and not Norwegian or Swedish- even without seeing the suffix.

I hope to go to Scandinavia next year!

[Time Mistress]

At first I was thinking it was German which I do know some of, but the words didn't look quite right. I figured it was Danish or something, but I did figure out a few words.

It did, on the left side below the pictures, its a matress on the floor. I forget the name given to them though.

Raphs room is a bit too over the top. There was a few wee things I liked like the hockey mask, the climbing frame, the guitar and that training thingie. (the log with the poles sticking out) Cannot for love nor money remember what its called either.

Mikeys room is cleaner than mine.

[Courk]

Oh, I see it now! It blends in with the floor a bit.

How is the log thing used? Does he just balance on the various pegs?

[Swany]

I cant actually describe. I remember seeing Jakie Chan use using one at the wee question bit at the end of Jakie Chan Adventures. Still cant remember what its called though.

Its annoying the heck out of me too.

[Garou]

You mean the wooden dummy (yes, that's what they're referred to)? The pole with the branches sticking out from the sides, I assume. You hit and kick it, and the branches move so you have to dodge or hit it, as it comes in a circle from the other side - best reference would be to tell you to see a certain episode. Raph uses it, but I can't remember which ep at the moment.

[Sage Ninja]

what has always bugged me out is the fact that the turtles (in both universes) sleep with their weapons strapped to their bodies . Is it just a ninja thing to ssleep with your weapon or are the turtles just paranloid? I mean that can't be comfertable, and I can't see how you could even get away with sleeping with two bulky katana blades straped to your back or a long bo staff. Or Raph sleeping with both of his sias still strapped to his belt. I mean he has two pointy weapons on him. What if he rolled over the wrong way and he peiced his thigh, or...his groin

[triplexxx]

Must be a ninja thing I suppose; like I said some time before, it's even a wonder they're seen sleeping on their back sometimes in consideration of their shells. But then again, their shells may be what provides them that protection from their weapons and big pillows can be their neck protection when they're on their backs. It's the wonders of fiction, and as Spawn Guy might say, this is just a bunch of "fourth wall breaking" bull****.

[Scandia]

I do not recall them actually sleeping with their weapons on. In the episode where they stay at April's place, and the one at Casey's grandma's house, they certainly do not have their weapons on. The one where they are in the lair, I cannot see the weapons either.

[Buslady]

technically they shouldnt be able to sleep on their back..but hey, its just a cartoon.

[Lady R. Santi]

Yeah, I'd think they'd sleep on their plastrons mostly and any back sleeping would be most comfortable in a hammock. Raph's got that right. Otherwise they'd need a honking pillow to hold their heads up and probably a rolled blanket or body pillow to keep themselves put. Anyhow. I also don't believe they can have much in the way of backpain as their spines would have to be fused to their shells. Possibly extreme lower or neck pain if anything. But certainly, life as a mutant turtle CANNOT be comfortable. My 2¢

[Scandia]

I think the most comfortable position would be sleeping on your side with a firm pillow under your head and another one between your legs. At least that's how I sleep. The pillow between your legs helps with proper spine alignment. I cannot sleep comfortably without one to be honest.

[odupianist]

Doesn't Raph sleep in a hammock so that helps him sleep on his back I'd assume

[Lady R. Santi]

I would assume so. It totally conforms to their odd shape and, at least I think, would be the perfect solution. Or perhaps, being Raph and for the sake of the cartoon, he's just trying to be a "rebel".

[syd]

recently iv just been thinking that he really has the way of destroying his bed while sleeping that raph has to get himself a hamock instead.every morning when they wake up,it's all--
mikey:hey someone's been sleeping in a cesspool!LOL
don:i couldn't imagine wut kinda of logic u use when u engaged urself in such a crude battle with ur bed everynight while u r supposed to sleep in it.
leo: wut a hothead...*shrug*
splinter:find ur own bed my son,no need to waste more materials.

so there u go~since then raph abandoned matress.

[BubblyShell22]

Actually, when they stayed at April's place, I distinctly remember Raph still sleeping with his weapons, and Mikey was too. I think they do sleep with their weapons to be prepared for an attack, though I think it would be a little too uncomfortable.

And dangerous too

But yeah, I agree with you. Raph and Mikey did sleep with their weapons on while they were staying at April's.

[Sage Ninja]

realistically I think only Mikey and Raph can sleep with their weapons on since their weapons are small enough to wear on the body unlike Don and Leo (although I swear in the old toon Leonardo has been shown to sleep with his blades on his back )

But on the subject of sleep, was it ever mentioned what time of day the turtles sleep in in 2k3 series? I naturally assume that they sleep at night and are up during the day, but they seem to be up and about and getting into trouble at night. So I would assume that since the only time they can go top side is at night that they would sleep during the day when they can't be seen.
