Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 2)

Haha I know, but it was funny.

I was not in the movie (of course!). Just a peripheral thing that would now be completely deflated, lol.

No big deal, I promise.

:frowning:

I visited a toy store that was featured in a 21 Pilots video when I was in Columbus for their concert in October. The place was floor to ceiling toys and action figures and collectibles of all kind from like the early '70’s onward.

They had All of the TNMT stuff ever made.

Well, we used to do those temporary tattoos of dinosaurs, the ones where you use a wet cloth and transfer it from the paper to your skin.

We did them again at Christmas a few years ago, my wedding, and now I keep them with me whenever we’re going to hang out. We’re planning on getting real ones at some point.

Again, I got stuck with the brontosaurus (back then), when all I wanted was the ankylosaurus. Now I told them we have to arm wrestle to see who gets TRex.

I’m just a kid in an adults body haha.

This just seems wholly inappropriate given the particular structure of said thunder lizard…

Thank you for letting me know!

[Note to self: never again speak of turtles in group of men]

I thought that might instigate you to drop a pic of one of the turtle action figures with a flaw, like the wrong colored headband or something, but that backfired pretty badly.

I’m thinking my bench numbers might be better if I had T Rex arms… I’d be cool with a brontosaurus tattoo and a ridiculous bench press.

Edit: also, a biting competition seemed a little too risky, especially due to the state of public health nowadays.

I wish I had done that, because how happy would we both be right now if that had happened? :joy:

So in my-broken-nose news, I have shopped for clothes in an attempt to make myself feel better. Confession: I would have just eaten snack foods, as per standard protocol, but I’m on a strict diet currently so I won’t be too self-conscious to post a t-ransformation before pic.

You got nothin to worry about. :+1:

What did you call it? A big bag of dough? Yeah. That’s me now. :frowning_face:

Still, it allows for the joy and satisfaction of pulling it all back together, so I suppose there’s that.

A Pierogi with hair?

Prior to my confession I’d like to remind everyone that this is a flame free section. I’d also like to point out that I am not making fun of these peoples fashion choices and it’s totally ok.

Went to a party last night. ALL males (minus i of course) were in blue jeans and either work boots or western/country boots. Hell I saw a cowboy hat being worn by a guy who had a special purse for his seltzers.
Every hand I shook was soft and clean and every person I talked to was a finance guy or sales or a computer programmer.

I confess I was the only blue collar guy there and it made me laugh to see how everyone wanted to look like a blue collar guy but drive a Lexus and carry a brief case.

No flame - I genuinely feel sorry for you.

I was inspired by this conversation and showed my kids The Secret of the Ooze tonight, and we all danced to Ninja Rap.

It still holds up, guys. My kids couldn’t stop laughing throughout it. Didn’t get nearly that reaction when they saw the new animated one.

My confession is that I have not seen any ninja turtle movies.

I think turtles are super cool though. Giant tortoises are the coolest of all. That truckin’ walk…

Lol. Just sounds cool.

I haven’t either, so you’re not alone.

Ernie Reyes Jr in that movie was THE single biggest influence on me as a kid to get into martial arts.

And specifically ā€œmartial artsā€. Because when he beats up the robbers in the start of the film, he says he does ā€œmartial artsā€.

So my parents are like ā€œOk, we’ll sign you up for Tae Kwon Doā€, and 8 year old me said ā€œNO! I want to do martial arts!ā€

…which was actually pretty ā€œawareā€ of me at the time, haha.

You’re acting as though it doesn’t deserve at least a time share in your head.

It’s a fucking masterpiece.
