Three "blockheaded" teenagers, as the Daily News puts it, were enjoying a good old fashioned romp in the sewage system yesterday when they got confused and lost their way. 16-year-old Schiller Milfort and 17-year-old Marvin Ottley were joined by an unidentified 15-year-old boy during the misadventure in Queens. An NYPD source mused, "These three idiots were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and wanted to go into the sewers." The News reports that the trio were finally rescued unharmed from a sewer in Kissena Park, sans shirts or shells, and Milfort and Ottley were charged with trespassing.





Ahh this takes me back. I'm glad the turtles are still popular.
"Tonight I dine on turtle soup!"
Shredder
This entire affair strikes me as awesome.
@everyAframe--I agree.
should of let those fools find their own way out. waste of tax payers dollars.
More importantly, did they meet a zen, oversized rat while they were down there? I'm betting on Yes.
Hey, at least they weren't beating up Columbia students...
So, how many rats did they befriend down there?
Hold on....what 15-17 year old plays make-believe any more?
umm... they weren't actually playing TMNT... that's just what the snarky cop quipped to the papers...
"Milfort and Ottley were charged with trespassing"
Which will be wiped from their record's in a year! Yess!
good thing they were just "playing" and not trying to plant a bomb or anything ...
everyAframe and CR...I agree.
Very, very stupid to go down into the sewers. Besides the fact that you can get lost, you can run into pockets of poisonous gas, you can come into contact with all kinds of liquid and toxic and corrosive waste, you can get swept away by sewage flow, you can get washed into sewer regulators and other things that can kill you, and if it rains suddenly while you're down there you can drown. Sewer workers go through all kinds of hazardous waste and confined space training.
cowabunga I need a slice of pizza now
Where's a CHUD when you need him?
#13, your post makes sense.
Nonetheless, I must throw my hat in with #2. Totally awesome.
