The crew beneath the Foot

In the 1990 film, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, there's a group of youth who work as an organized crime gang run by their Darth-Vader-wanna-be leader, "Shredder." The gang that was beneath the Foot –– less karate more petty crime. This crew was the regular country crop of juvenile delinquents, who likely grew up fertilized with neglect and no discipline resulting in emotional instability, anger management issues, poor relationship skills, a strong anti-authority disposition, and an addiction to cigarettes.  At the end of the movie, the group is discovered and disbanded by the humanoid fighting-turtle team, but I'm pretty sure a few escaped, moved to China, got rich, procreated, raised their kids in the same tradition, and then sent them to Hong Kong Adventist Academy.

Ask me what I'd give for four turtles, a backpack of plutonium, and a roll of duct tape...

A lot.

  5. Also, the word I just had to type out in order to publish that comment was "terpert," which sounds vaguely like something one of you would come up with.
