On the plus side, if the Foot Clan attacks, you'll have easy access to allies.
- It is also a reasonable explanation for any disappearing pizza.

What a shit hole
- this is literally a shit hole
  
  that's the joke
No city name on the lid? Maybe this is the best crawlspace access ever?
- I used to have to poke around in manholes. Not all of them have the name of the city on them, and not all of them go to a sewer. Some of them have cables in them.
  
  The one pictured does look like a municipal manhole cover instead of one belonging to AT&T or another communications company, just because of the design on it.
  
  That was one thing I could never do when I was an "urban explorer" (fancy term for trespassing in to municipal water infrastructure), manholes always freaked me out so much my friends couldn't even peer pressure me.
  
  I was under the impression that the grates which don't have a city name are older from a time before people realized that they can be stolen and sold for the value of the scrap metal.
  
  Then municipalities started to stamp their name on it and metal recyclers couldn't take them anymore unless you took it to a shady recycler so the value dropped.
  
  No idea how true that is though.
- If you are a Turtle that practices martial arts

Bro lives under the secret base of the teenage mutant ninja turtles
- Under?
  
  He comes from a land down under.
If the house is old enough, it might be an old coal ~~shoot~~ chute for a boiler in the basement. Lived in an old farmhouse for a bit that had one of these
- *coal chute
  
  From French chute, fall, see also parachute, "protect against falling".
  
  Thank you... I knew it wasn't "shoot" but no other spelling looked right
It’ll be easy for the robbers to get into the house.
well, at least you can easily... dispose of... say... unusual waste
You need turtles and pizza
Oh, you found the rat pit, put that trap door back, put it, PUT IT BACK MOTHERFUCKER.
- Nah that's free calories ain't no way
Why does the design on it look like something from an ancient civilization?
Sounds about right. Pieces of garbage would charge us by weight if they could.
- we can't? /s
