My dying wish is for an owl/camel hybrid, which I call camowl.

Words of wizdum from Mike Tyson.

"Tex" just sent in something cool. Here's what he had to say: "I was looking through my old Nintendo games the other day and came across Mike Tyson's Punchout!!  The funny part is I still had the copy of the letter that came with the game (which I've attached a scanned picture of).  It's a letter from Mike Tyson himself!  Well not really, but it's got his picture on it and his printed signature.  I'm pretty sure he wasn't the actual one to pen the letter.  The best part is when it talks about how "anger is never positive and, therefore, never results in positive outcome."  I'm sure that's a solid philosophy of his."

Ha, this is great. Click here for the full-sized version. Could they have made the letter read any less like something Tyson would've written? I can't even imagine him being able to read aloud what's on that paper, much less forge it. The funniest thing is, they're all perfectly fine and valid lessons for kids to learn. It's just that...well...they're coming from Mike Tyson. True, his penchant for raping and biting people wasn't huge public knowledge back then, but come on...Mike Tyson? It's like having Grandma tell you how to Vertical-69 without losing your balance. These merits would've been better suited for teaching by someone who didn't kill kittens and eat babies and murder priests. Maybe Buster Douglas? Or Cold Stone?

Akeem was a stroke of genius by The slickster. Got to believe Rock Newman was heavily influenced by the look.

Those don’t look any where near the quality our generations TMNT were. They can never be replaced.
I rented the game and it’s okay but it has none of the charm the old TMNT arcade game had either.
