Interesting observation for the day:
After getting undressed to get in the shower today, I happened to look down at my shins for the first time in a while (I almost never wear shorts), and noticed two sizable bald patches in my leg hair just below my knees. It took me a minute, but then I realized that I've been spending so much time on a step ladder lately that I've worn the hair off of my shins from bracing my legs against the rungs. Weird. And kind of depressing.
You're well on your way to becoming a shiny-legged old man!

Just look the colors of their masks in the older versions, physically that and their weapons are the only differences. It's just a matter of learning which name and non-physical traits are attached to which color.

Raphael started as my favorite, but that's because his bandana was red, which reminded me of Jesus' love for us.
This is one of the most obscure relgiious references I have ever heard.
Wasn't obscure to me! Look: I was seven.
What about the comic? ALL the masks were red in the comic.
The original comic, yes. But not the Archie series (which was the one I read). I wasn't allowed the original (or Yusagi Yojimbo - the only two we knew at the time): they were too violent and bloody.
(Also, the original turtles were... kind of jerks.)

No, but you get an education:
... by which I mean:
- Leo: blue band, uses swords
- Don: purple band, uses a staff
- Raph: red band, uses a pair of sai
- Mike: orange band, uses nunchucks
EDIT: or, I could be ninja'd* by Orthos.
* Doh'hohohohohohoh~!

You overestimate me, my good sir. I can generally tell apart most of the 700+ Pokemon, but these four turtles...
I think I might just have to assign them as Squirtle, Turtwig, and Tirtouga...aaaand there's not a fourth turtle line I can think of.

Torkoal.

So which Poke-turtle is which ninja turtle?
Squirtle is clearly Leonardo.
Tirtouga evolves into Carracosta which is big and brutish, making it Raphael.Turtwig is kind of cute and dopey, which fits Mikey best.
Which I guess means Torkoal is Donny, which I guess works, between Donny's tech focus and Torkoal's steam power.

Nah. Just listen to my link and get absorbed in the glorious 80s of it all.

Okay, my answer has changed to "this one" as it is clearly more informed about this whole poe-key-men thing than I.

This is the dorkiest conversation I've had all week.
Slow week, huh?
All I know is that Michelangelo paints a mean ceiling.
I know! And Adam has a belly-button! Why would he need that?!
(He also eats lots of Pizza*.)
EDIT:* #totallylegithistory(probably)
(Incidentally, I think I've made four tweets... ever.)

Orthos, an electric type is going to wreck half your team's s&&$.
So he can be the first Pillsbury Doughboy, Tac. Product placement has always been important.
Do they make pizza dough? Makes sense, then.
Only a third - only the two water-types are weak to electric. And Turtwig evolves into a ground-type.
... I... I'm failing to come up with a pun. "Rooted" to the spot would be plant... uh... hm...

Torterra is grass/ground, so plants still work! It's good you're keeping yourself grounded, though.

TMI!!!
The miracles of modern technology continue to amaze me. When I type the letter "Z" into Google, the first thing that the auto-fill comes up with is "Zap Rowsdower." You know me all too well, Google.
TMI!!

Hey! Hey! That's not nice language! It's "volt swiccan" - which is a very fine German car! >:(

Woah-woah-woah! Back to TMI~!
Yeah, misremembered. Still, obnoxious things.
... you lost me.
(No. You did not.)
You guys are still speaking English, right?
Por qe? Parlez-vous français?
EDIT: for epicness, and edit-noting
