OK, I'll buy it! Did they ever imitate Marlon Brando in 'On the Waterfront'? You know:- I coulda been a contender! ;-)

Raygo, no way! OK, they didn't say it a lot, but this quote cum cultural reference is a TNMT classic:
Michaelangelo: [imitating Rocky Balboa] Uh, yo well, uh, maybe I'll fight Apollo, uh, maybe I won't, you know. What do you think? Adrian.
(1990 Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles movie)

Did they really say "Yo Adrian" a lot? tvan, you're just making that part up dude!
Yeah, drivel rocks!

Raygo, so far today we've recruited Pete and Casselin into the drivel group. Goulniky's News group... be afraid, be very afraid!
They (Ninja turtles) were indeed named after Renaissance painters and they also said "Yo Adrian" a lot. 更酷

Well, I'd take the word of a Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtle any old day of the week. (They were all named after Renaissance painters weren't they? 那么 cool!)

Pete, Raygo according to no less an authoritative souce than an old Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles book, Adrian is indeed the correct spelling.

pete, my excellent friend (see below), I'd be happy to talk about sustainable farming and ancient poetry with you until the cows come home!
Ha! Would have been funnier if she'd spelled it Adrian, then they could have done a sequel with a gay character of the same name and created a torturous comic subplot!

Raygo, Rocky was a boxer? Academy Award winner Sylvester Stalone just a boxer! (Hehe, OK, nominee.) Here's a quote from Rocky II (8 sec. in.), but it also starred in the much better original.

Et tu raygo，
How did I become Mister Boring?!? First RJ, and now you!
I'm going to take my pile of books about sustainable farming and ancient poetry and go home ;-)
Adrian was his girlfriend, and he calls out her name at the end of his fight, I believe. But thinking about it now, she probably used a more female spelling like Adrienne.

Ah ha! pete you're a goldmine of... useless information! (Just kidding!!)
Rocky was a boxer right, why was his catchphrase 'Yo, Adrian?'

Hi raygo,
I think tvan was driveling about Rocky, the Italian Stallion. His catch phrase was "Yo, Adrian!"
