Whilst creating a new personel file today a co-worker was commenting on the person's name _something_ Donatello _something_ _something_. Then he said "Donatello, wasn't he a famous painter or soemthing?". And jsut as I was thinking, "It's bad when the first thing your brain brings up is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - think he was the one with the orange bandanna?" another co-worker popped up over the partition with "Wasn't he the one with the sword?".

I'm glad it wasn't just me...Popular culture has a lot to answer for really... :)

Purple bandana, bo staff. (Michaelangelo had orange, Leonardo had sword.)

And I only know this because my nephew's obsessed with them, honest.

I certainly don't have any 20 year old TMNT comics, no ma'am. :)

Hi! You don't know me but...

Heh, doesn't an opening like that just raise your hackles? Sorry. I found you while searching for people with whom I share several interests and I was wondering if you'd mind if I added you to my friends list. I see from your profile that we have much in common, and I'm interested in getting to know you better. Feel free to visit my journal to see if you're also interested.

Heh.
My most absolutely _favourite_ of _favourite_ renaissance sculptures of the Magdalaine is, in my tiny, tiny mind, by one of the 'minor' Turtles.
We all do this - its burnt onto our psyches. I've just learnt not to fight it *shrug*
