Ask the Ruminerds; Teenage mutant Ninja Turtle Incarnations

 

Gus: Original.

Joel: Original.

Vernon: I wasn't into it...

Broomie: Original.

Gus: I can't believe you didn't like any of them Vern!

Vernon: I mean, I missed the boat in terms of 'em airin'...I was born in 1990...I missed out on even most o' them reruns of the eighties shows...I'm surprised y'all got into that when all of y'all were born around the time I was...

Dawn: I guess it depends on what you had access to...?

Vernon: I mean I wasn't into a lot o' them 'action shows' I guess...I didn't get inta He-mammal, er' G.I. Jowl...er' none of that stuff...Oh course, we never exactly had premium cable...

Gus: There's the explanation...

Vernon: Well Lah-Dee-Dah...Y'know just cause my family had its own land fer over a century er' two don't mean we was exactly the wealthiest family in the North Meadowlands...*Vernon scratches his chin thoughtfully* I mean, look...I ain't sayin' we lived hand to paw...but my Mah and Pa was supportin' seven pups. Different thangs were prioritized when we was real little. Lotta hand me-down old Looney Tunes tapes, and whatever VHS tapes our parents picked up at the store...we didn't get exposed to most of them more...broad cartoon channels till they went basic in the late 90s...

Joel: My Aunt had the full package since I was a Cria, even the smutty channels...though they were locked behind a password. It had everything! Even imported Animalme...in fact, you can say that's how I got started.

Gus: We had expanded channels at my house...

Broomie: Same...so we got the old stuff, and the reruns...

Vernon: Also...me and my brothers missed out on a lotta...Saturday mornin' cartoons...just by virtue of bein' wolf pups...

Gus: *Chuckles* Yeah, whenever I slept over I remember you and your brothers would sleep till like, one in the afternoon...

Vernon: Can y'all blame us!? We're nocturnal mammals who had school and helpin' Ma with the farmin' and housework all week...o'course we slept like wolves on the weekend!

Dawn: *Giggles* That hasn't changed...any day you aren't working, we both sleep in...that is if you can keep me from slipping out of your paws...

Vernon: *Smirks* Again, can ya blame me...nuzzlin' up to you is the coziest, most comfy way to sleep I think I've ever experienced. It's like sleepin' curled up with a lil' slice o' heaven...

Dawn: *Leans up, smooching Vernon on the side of his muzzle* I could say the same about you Puppy Love. *Laughs* Why do you think I give in nine times out of ten?

Broomie: Actually, to get back on track...I really loved the OG comics. Though the 87' show was pretty fun. Granted I discovered the old-school comics later in life...I mean, after the show aired.

Gus: I think we can probably agree that the old movies were also good...well the first one was anyway, with diminishing returns on each sequel.

Joel: And that we blew off the Micheal Bay movies entirely...

Broomie: Hey we gave him a chance with Transfurmers, that ship has sailed.

Joel: Ugh, yeah, nah...those were rank...almost as bad as the Ruminant Evil film adaptations! *Spits in disgust*

Gus: Ugh! Don't get me started! We'll be at this all night and I actually want to get to playing tonight's campaign!
