Pirates Vs. Ninjas

[Pat]

It seems everyone is in a distinct camp here.

I am firmly a "pirate guy".

Obviously.

Everyone else?

[Stensby]

Ninjas. I hate pirates.

[Jen]

Yeah, I'm totally a Ninja....


Pirates - I Ninjas - II

[rachac]

Pirates. Definitely pirates.

Although if there was a bottle of booze that had a cool ninja on it, I might be tempted.

[solace]

No contest.

Ninjas

[Staciaann]

Best. Thread. Ever.


Pirates!! Yarrrrrrr!!!!

www.talklikeapirateday.com I don't see ninjas having their own day...

[Jen]

oh... snap!

[Bob L]

I know that pirates like to drink. I don't think ninjas drink. Therefore, I am firmly in the pirate camp.

[porridge]

Apparently you haven't checked out Master Ninja's Mixed Drink of the Day!

http://www.masterninja.com/toys/drink/

Ninjas!

[Jen]

This is close.

Ninjas - IIII Pirates - IIII

tie

(i don't know why i'm keeping tabs like this. but it IS pretty damn fun)

[andrea]

Um... is it weird that I like both?

I guess if I had to choose I would go pirate, just for the rum and the "yarrrrrr."

[Jen]

if i were to choose pirates, it would be mostly because of the drinkin' and an eyepatch.

[gimmesomecandy]

Pirates

and anyone who picked ninja's
i am mad at.

who wants to go to long john silvers?

[Staciaann]

Why wouldn't the parents let their kids see the pirate movie?

Because it was rated arrrrrrr!!!

[mplskate]

Why wouldn't the parents let their kids see the pirate movie?

Because it was rated arrrrrrr!!!

What did the pirate octogenarian say?

AY MATEY!!

(seriously. say it out loud.)

therefore, i choose pirate.

[andrea]

Oh noes, I failed the test!

None
You are 43% Pure Ninja, 27% Pure Pirate, and 61% Hybrid!

You don't even make the cut... You're not a Ninja or a Pirate, let alone a Ninja-Pirate. Weapons: A weak left and right hook, a slow and terrible kick. Special Moves: Running away, Getting so scared that you faint. Your fear factor: 0%/F

[germ war]

Any Ninja would whoop a Pirate's ass. You don't hear about Ninja's drinking and partying because they do it in STEALTH.

Ninjas.

[Staciaann]

Unfortunately, I do have to say this is a hilarious site...

http://www.realultimatepower.net/index4.htm

Hi, this site is all about ninjas, REAL NINJAS. This site is awesome. My name is Robert and I can't stop thinking about ninjas. These guys are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Facts:

1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.

hee hee...

[rachac]

You are 43% Pure Ninja, 27% Pure Pirate, and 61% Hybrid!


I would say that being 131% of a ninja/pirate/hybrid mix is cause for alarm. That's 21% more than the 110% you usually give.

[andrea]

Don't worry, I've been taking caffiene pills regularly, I can handle it. :)

#3 is my favorite, though I'm still in the other camp.

[Jen]

I am 52% Pure Ninja, 24% Pure Pirate, and 54% Hybrid!

I can handle that.

[porridge]

I'm sure most of you know about this, but it's my all-time favorite daily video podcast: http://askaninja.com/

[Pat]

I am 21% ninja, 70% pirate, 55% hybrid

[Pat]

hahahaha......hahahaaha....that could only be Jen's black fingernail polished hand.

that made me laugh hard.

we spend waaaaaaay too much time here. everyone.

[Zosia Blue]

Count me in for ninja. I'm less about boat travel and more about stealthiness.

[Staciaann]

thank goodness....

Pirate
You are 29% Pure Ninja, 60% Pure Pirate, and 58% Hybrid!
Arrgh me matey... You are a Pirate!!! You like to slack off and rade helpless people's towns. Your favorite weapons are swords, pistols, and cannons. You desire money, but you'd rather not work to get it (unless you get to gut somone). Weapons: Long Sword, Pistol/Revolver, Cannon, Hook. Special Moves: Getting really drunk so you don't feel pain and getting really drunk so you go berserk and slaughter things. Your fear factor: 50%/C


p.s. Jen rules...

[Pat]

from the realultimatepower website:

Ninjas can kill anyone they want! Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this ninja who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the ninja killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a ninja totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

That is great for a couple of reasons. Firstly, the clunky, 3rd-grade-level syntax is genius. Secondly, I'm pretty sure this guy is accidentally a genius.

but, shiver me timbers, still a pirate guy.

[neilydrum]

ninjas.

WAY more badass.

[Jen]

and with that i think we have a tie, people...

[Staciaann]

yarrrr....stupid Neil.

[gimmesomecandy]

Pirates!

pirates win.

[neilydrum]

this whole argument really tells you a lot about a person.

[rachac]

So does this mean when I go review a show, I need to wear an eyepatch? Because I wasn't all that vociferous of a pirate -- basically, wherever I could make more money (or score more free booty), I'd go with.

And that is booty in the pirate sense.

Although booty in the ninja sense......... :)

Did Happy Hour arrive at 3pm only for me???????????

[rachac]

Walking through the aisles at Cub Foods, and whose melodious sounds came wafting over the store speakers? None other than Hootie.

So, in honor of Stook!, I went to Long John Silver's for lunch. And sang "I Only Want To Be With You" while I ate my shrimp and fish basket.

[David]

But did you talk like a pirate?

[gimmesomecandy]

Rachac is a man of dignity

what can we say about pat?

[Pat]

oh, just you wait til the Stooksenanny! I have a surprise for you.

[gimmesomecandy]

i hope to god your showing up in a pirate outfit

[andrea]

If Pat is coming in a pirate suit I am totally bringing some rum. Yo ho ho!

[Pat]

i hope to god your showing up in a pirate outfit

I told you: surprise.

[Pat]

i hope to god your showing up in a pirate outfit

I told you: surprise.

EDIT: dammit, twice again! :)

[JoeLang]

I'd side with more of a samurai, but given the choice, it isn't even close. Ninja. Pirates probably have more fun, though. But the ninja crowd has enlightened insight.

Agreed, as well. Cowboys suck balls.

[Culture Bully]

Not that it makes any difference here, since ninjas are clearly the dominant winners...but when making the choice for myself I had to base it on, as I do with most things in life, Chuck Norris. While he had a beard, it is not out of place to say that Chuck Norris is far closer to a ninja than a pirate. Case closed.

This site has some pretty funny Ninja facts (http://www.writing.com/main/handler/item_id/870081):

"HIYAA!!!" is ninja for nice to meet you.

Ninjas don't give two shits about the Illuminati

On the occasion of a Ninja's 21st birthday, he is subject to a hazing ritual which includes "riding the pony" and a gross quantity of carrots.

[Culture Bully]

oh my god

[Culture Bully]

Also it must be noted that ninjas have, by far, a better theme song.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GFLGRidfFo4

[rick]

um, i gotta say ninjas, 2 reasons:

1. teenage mutant pirate turtles? that just makes no sense

2. pirates vs. swiss family robinson = dismal humiliation
ninjas vs. swiss family robinson = merciless annihilation

[gimmesomecandy]

BUT... there are no ninja themed restaurants.

[David]

Actually, there are.

Here's one: http://www.ninjanewyork.com/

[liveintown]

Damn, David, you beat me to it. They even have a ninja-esque video on the homepage.

And there's this one: http://www.ninja.tv/top.html

Didn't Arby's have a ninja-wich special, maybe about 10 years ago??
-live

[gimmesomecandy]

MAYBE LIKE... june 1st, 1997???

smart asses!

[rachac]

Heh heh -- you said "ass".

[liveintown]

Pirates win again.

Oh wait, that was the cuteness contest.

[Culture Bully]

I'm pretty sure this clarifies things for those still unsure of which side to run with...two words:
