Day 231: What Did Batman Say To Robin... About Cowabunga, Dude!

Holy cowabunga Batman!

What was Michelangelo doing standing with no one around him at a Starbucks in Lincoln Park at 7 p.m.?


I think the answer is obvious. When a good guy, like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, is surrounded by bad guys, he always does one of two things. He either fights them one at a time while the others just stand around waiting their turns, or uses one or two of them to defeat the others, i.e. kicks one into another or ducks so one of the bad guy's punches hits another bad guy.

Therefore, Michelangelo has just finished a battle, but still has his fists up and is hyper-vigilant in case any of the bad guys come back.
The fight began in this normally quiet Starbucks in Lincoln Park because a spoiled Chicago socialite ordered a skinny vanilla latte with a dollop of foam and instead got just a smidgen. She, of course, threw a ridiculous, unreasonable fit that included cursing out customers trying to calm her down and throwing the hot drink at the barista.

Enter Michelangelo ready to stand up for the little guys - those hardworking employees behind the counter. Without hesitating, he yanked that girl right out of her Jimmy Choos, tossed her on her ass on the freezing cold sidewalk, and told her she'd better not lay even one perfectly manicured finger on any of the baristas ever again.

And just to ensure their protection he's on guard - as long as the pizzas keep coming.
