I think this is a lovely idea. Does it include the Teenage Mutant Ninja variety? Cowabunga!

A day to celebrate the Great A'Tuin? after all he does carry a world on his back ;)

Nah!

Birthday?

Well, A'tuin did have a whole slew of baby world turtles (and 'hefferlumps') at the end of 'The Light Fantastic', so maybe that's it?

Begs the question

Are you a Turtle? ;-)

Come on, surely there are at least a few card-carrying IOT (International Order of Turtles) members on here!

Nope

You have to correctly answer the member question. Failure to do so properly meant you had to buy the next round. In this day and age it would be no big deal, but back then the correct response could be embarrassing, which was the whole point!

Am I a Turtle?

YBYSA!.

The Turtles

were a popular band for a while in the 1960s.

Though Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Day does have a certain ring to it.

P.S. Ang, if you turn Bonzi on his back, he will act much like a turtle would but I advise wearing gloves just in case he objects.

tortugular confusion

Okay the "Are You a Turtle" thing is someone asking:
ARE YOU A TURTLE?

And you're supposed to answer:
YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS I AM!

But what do they DO? Is that the extent of it?
Or is there something more ominous going on?
I remember it vaguely from the 1970's,
like CB Radio and quaaludes.

It, and the catchphrase of the society, does give an interesting doubled meaning to the famous old lady's "it's turtles all the way down!"

That's a lot of a- ... uh, donkeys.

What About Splinter?

Their Sensei? Should he not be included along with April? And what about the fifth LADY turtle?
