How do you work that out? Those Kung Fu tortoises were just a cartoon, you know! First sign of trouble and Johnny Turtle winds his head in and waits for it to pass. Come to think of it, could be an appropriate mascot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 Yes but my point is that they were real turtles, and not just some people in suits. Trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As everybody knows, when we were first formed all those years ago, everything was a form of sepia/black and white except for the colour red and some sharp eyed twitcher/city fan suggested we be called after the pretty little birdy that also sported a red breast and looked decidedly attractive perched on the handle of a garden spade/shovel when displayed on christmas cards. Alternatively, it could be due to the fact that Aardman have a cheap(!) suit available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half an hour later, there's no food arrived at his table so he goes through to the kitchen to see what's happening. He can see a chef chasing around after a turtle with a mallet and every time the chef hits the turtle with the mallet, it just retracts its head into its shell and the mallet has no effect. However this doesn't phase Beefy. He asks the waiter to go and fetch a pencil. the waiter arrives with the pencil and Beefy asks the chef to stand at the front with the mallet while he rams the pencil up the turtle's jacksy. This time the turtle's head shoots out and the chef stuns the turtle without any problem. When asked where he learned that trick, beefy replied' How else do you think we ever got a bow tie on Gladstone Small!!' Do you reckon the mascot should be provided with a pencil for the photograph session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
