This story takes place in the early 90's, when the Ninja Turtles were cool. Laugh if you wish, but most boys in my school liked them then.
I was but a wee lad of 11, and was with my my four friends (yes, it's shocking...that a jerk like me has friends). And, in a public park on a warm Staurday afternoon, we pretended to be our heroes. My friends' names are Jane, Mike, Joe, and Chris. (I used present tense 'cause they still talk to me).
The parts: Jane was always April O'Neil, because...well...she was a girl. Mike was always the Shedder, 'cause he liked capes (don't ask). Joe was Leonardo, Chris was Mikelangelo, and I was Casy Jones (he wore a hockey mask and smashed stuff). We would pretend to battle each other, never really hurting each other; we were friends. However, I would like to tell the tale like a movie, using our parts, rather than names. All real action will be shown like ::this::.
All violence was fake and a lot of fun.
::We were at the park, with our "stuff". Jane had her camera, Joe and Chris had their headbands, I had a "Jason " mask, and Mike wore a black "Batman" cape and football helmet. Crude, but hey, it was fun::
The Shedder was in his secret lair ::between four trees::, ranting and raving about how he was going to take over the world for the 20th time. However, he was unaware that he was being watched by reporter April O'Neil, who was recording each evil word. As the vile ninja master lets out a horrible, booming laugh, April attempts to leave, but is spotted.
"April! What're you doing here!" Shedder growls.
"Getting outta here!" was her reply as she ran.
"Never! HA! HA! HAAAA!" Shedder hissed as he draws his ray gun ::water pistol::, and fires a paralizer ray at her, stopping her dead in her tracks. He grabs April's arm.
"You're coming with me!" he says in sinister glee. "When your friends come to rescue you, I'll destroy them!"
The Shedder drags April to a pole and pulls out a 15 feet length of rope, and ties her wrists behind her. He then draws a 25 foot rope and wraps it around her body, pinning her to the pole. A strip of white surgical tape is placed over her lips. The Shedder steps back and snickers in glee. the trap is now set.
Cut to the sewers ::under a big slide::. Leonardo , Mikelangelo and Casy Jones (yayy!) sit together, eating pizza and watching TV.
" I'm bored, " Mikelangelo sighs. "Where's April, anyway?"
Casy shrugs. Leonardo stands suddenly. "Shedder might have gotten her!" he exclaims.
"Makes sense," Casy adds, making a fist. "We'd better go save her!"
"Lemme finish my pizza!" Mikelangelo whines.
Casy and Leonardo yank the mutant turtle off his feet, and they make a beline for the Shedder's lair.
::We'd broken into Mike's lair so many times, we didn't bother to act out how we knew. It became generic.::
The three heroes peek through the "window". They see April, her strawberry blonde hair messed up, bound to a pole and gagged. The Shedder holds his deadly ray gun, laying in wait.
"We need a plan," Mikelangelo whispers.
"We sneek in. I'll save April while you two hold off Shed," Casy responds.
"Hey! I'm the leader here!" Leonardo gripes. "And...I like your plan. let's go."
Slipping in like shadows, they hide behind a "crate", ready to abush the villain. Ready...
Shedder turns and faces them suddenly, ray gun in hand. "Now you die!," he bellows as April lets out a "mmph!"
Before the Turtles can act out the plan, Shedder fires the paralizer ray, hitting Mikelangelo.
"Damn!" the turtle statue shouts. "Help!"
Leonardo dashes over to his fellow turtle, trying to shake him out of it. Casy tries to get to April, but Shedder blocks his path. Casy smacks the gun away. Shedder growls and puts up his dukes.
He "hits" Casy in the jaw, sending him backward. Casy "punches" Shedder in the nose, stunning him. However, Casy falls from Shedder's savage "gut kick".
He laughs in triumph over Casy. Casy "hits" Shedder in the groin, and he backs off, reclaiming his gun. He aims at Casy.....
Leonardo and Mikelangelo ram into Shedder, knocking him down. He appears K.O.'d.
Casy rips the tape from April's lips. "OW!" she cries. Leonardo uses his knife :: to cut the ropes from her body and feet.
Shedder rises. "Damn you! You haven't seen the last of me!" he screams as he turns to run.
Casy grabs the ray gun, sets it to "kill", and hits Shedder in the back. The villain falls, forever.
With Shedder beaten, the four heroes go home, awaiting another adventure ::we went home::
THE END.
Technically, we had to debate the whole "set ray to kill" thing...Mike was outvoted. But, it was no sweat. We'd "killed" him 5 times before, and 7 times after.
I chose this tale because this was the only time Jane was gagged with tape. Wow.
See? Wasn't that a decent story? Now please, get off my case. There's more where this came from....
'Caio.

I've got a quickie for ya. I call it.....CHAIN TIE.
I was hanging out with my pals on campus when this annoying kid named Mitch shows up. Now, in my school, just about every goth-punk wears black and carries a chain. holding a long, skinny chain, Mitch goes up to my pal Mike's current girlfriend (a girl named Noah), and takes her hands.
Then, he quickly binds them in front of her with the chain! Man, did that make my day! She didn't really protest, just found it annoying. Mike, on the other hand, wanted to kill Mitch. Noah struggled for five minutes until she got loose. Mitch came back later for the chain, when Mike had cooled off. This happened two days ago.
Well, that's it. Now I'm off to beat kids in video games and laugh at our two village nuts (I'm a close third): the guy named Bob who wears shorts all year long, and the bum at the train station who thinks he's Elvis (really!). 'Ciao.
Another free plug: Rent any movie starring Andrew Dice Clay. They rule!
APRIL FOOL'S
A year ago, I went to my then girfriend's house on April 1st. Her name was Sharon; she had blode hair and a kickin' bod. Anyway, I went through the door, 'cause it was open (odd, huh). Right in the living room was Sharon, sitting in a chair with her hands and feet bound with clothesline, with a stip of duct tape over her lips. I stared at her in disbelief.
"This is a robbery!" a voice said."Put yer hands up an' gimme all yer money!"
I turned, and saw a man in black wearing a ski mask, pointing a gun at me. My first reaction was shock and fear. I froze.
"Gimme yer money! Now!" he demanded.
Then, I got pissed. Still in shock, I tackled the guy. Sharon mumbled in surprise.
"Ow! Ow! Hey, it's me!" he said in a familar voice. I took off the mask.
It was Joe, my buddy. Turns out the whole thing was a joke. Sharon laughed under the gag. Chris videotaped the whole thing. We untied her, I put Joe in a sleeper-hold for 10 minutes, and we hung out for the rest of the day.
THE END. 'Ciao.
