Ask Master Splinter

Come seeking knowledge, stay for the sushi.

Usagi seems to have adapted well to his surroundings. We still get together occasionally to discuss world politics and swap stories about battling ninjas. My sons and I feel somewhat guilty for having stranded him in this world in the first place, as well as leaving his story arc completely unresolved, but he has been very understanding.

As an experienced martial artist I am most definitely in peak physical condition. While large muscles are often considered the mark of a strong man, they would only limit my mobility and render me an ineffective ninja.

It can be fun to pretend, though.

Believe it or not I tend to not eat much pizza. While my sons may have a bottomless appetite for all things Italian, I prefer traditional Japanese cuisine. Although it is much more difficult to procure in the city, I believe good sushi is worth whatever one must go through to claim it.

My sons and I have gotten along just fine without the human luxury of pants. Naturally I wore pants long ago when I was human, but after my mutation pants simply became impractical. They hinder my oddly-shaped rat legs and are also very difficult to put on, considering the huge claws on my feet.

Probably not. My options are especially limited, not just because I am a giant rat living in the sewers but also because I am a single parent of four. It might be nice to settle down one day, but at the moment there are more important things to focus on.

I have never had the opportunity to use any of the digital readers you have mentioned, though Donatello did manage to make something similar out of some boombox parts and a few old pizza boxes. It seems to work remarkably well; it has Amazon, Angry Birds, everything.
To tell you the truth I am something of a technophobe. You would not believe how long it took me to swallow my pride enough to get this Tumblr, so I doubt I will be getting a Nook any time soon.

Depending on the temperature in the sewer, I will occasionally sleep without my robe. As a man-sized rat, my body temperature averages out to be higher than it was when I was human, thus I have to find ways of compensating.
Not that I generally have much to compensate for. As a ninja master, I mean.
Also, an announcement: due to the unexpectedly large number of questions I have received, I will have to begin skipping over the ones that are either redundant or just more thinly-veiled attempts to see me without clothes on. Honestly, my sons, I am an old man…

Yes, anal chaffing is a problem which many suffer from, and is no joking matter. You have much courage to raise the issue here before so many. You have my utmost respect.
A diet high in fiber may be just what you need to improve your condition. Also, applying some talcum powder to the area may prevent chaffing. There are creams available, as well.

I am starting to notice a pattern with some of these questions. Hrm.

I am beyond such things as carnal desires, thus my sexuality is entirely irrelevant. However, I have no problem with gay people. As long as they are happy, I am happy for them.
Entirely unrelated: Donatello, if you are reading this and you ever want to talk about anything, feel free to come see me at any time. You will always be my son no matter what.
Like I said, though, entirely unrelated.
