What's the geekiest thing you've ever done as a TMNT fan?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I tried to name our orange cat "Klunk"... my wife was even on-board with the name, but she didn't know about TMNT yet so I backed out and we went with Marvin (from the movie "RED") instead.

Reading and trying to understand what many of these discussions are about without the aid of a Wiki, video or blog, in particular the Fan Fiction and RPG sections.

Still probably this tattoo:



It's the turtle shield from issue 43 of the Mirage comic (one of my favourites), seen here:



Other than that... probably the time I met Peter Laird and Jim Lawson at Fan Expo in Toronto when I was 21 or 22. They were super nice, I got sketches from both and thanked them for their time and their work... and then I got super weirdly starstruck about it and stood around their booth like a goon for entirely too long.

I'm pretty subdued with it. I suppose being in my 30s and that 1/3rd of the Christmas gifts I got were Turtles related and being A-Ok with that might qualify. (They didn't know last year that I was back to being a fan so they indulged me this year a bit. lol Doubt it will happen again to that extent.)

Ok that's pretty cool, and that's coming from someone who's not too big on tattoos.
Two green thumbs up.

Does making more than 16,000 posts on a TMNT forum in 6 years count?

If not, I've got this TMNT tattoo, so maybe it.

Those really are awesome tattoos, Bry and Powder. I've been thinking of getting a Turtle tattoo but I really have no idea what I'd get. Plus I already have so many designs I know I want to get already that space on my canvas is soon going to become an issue.

Man, love the tattoo, Powder!

[plastroncafe]

Hmmm. The geekiest thing?

I flew to San Diego for Comic Con by myself for the 25th Anniversary.
Great Con. Had such a freakin' blast.

But yeah...as that out-costs my tattoo by quite a bit, I'd have to say that was the geekiest thing I've ever done.

I flew by myself to NY for the 25th anniversary "Shellebration" & screening of the original film & also took two solo trips for NYCC solely for their TMNT offerings, twice, so I'm with you on that.

I feel like I've seen this and commented before, but man that turned out well. the overall vibe and the little details and colouring make it feel like Mirage, '87 and 2003 mashed up. Like an ink love letter to the property as a whole.

Wearing this shell backpack almost everywhere I went a few years ago.

In the mid 2000s I made a Flash cartoon of Shredder singing In the Ghetto, with Krang on guitar, and backup singing Foot Soldiers, and I showed it to pretty much anyone who would watch it, including a couple of University lecturers and a girl I was into. In my defence, it was pretty rad.

Powder, that's an awesome tat. If I could just politely suggest something, I'd get the belts made slightly darker just for the sake of contrast. Nah'mean? Otherwise that's a super tasty piece.

I'd say the geekiest thing I ever did was write a fanfic on about 300 sheets of notebook paper, before I even had the internet (or a computer) or knew people even wrote fanfics. My wife (then-girlfriend) and I were just lamenting around 2000 or so how TMNT was more or less "dead" as a franchise and there were no new stories, so I wrote one, just for the two of us to read.

I'd say that's pretty "geeky".

Are you gonna post your flash video on your YouTube channel, or is that a "..nah.." because I would love to see it. I know that you posted a few videos on your channel and that's why I asked.
