Happy Day of the Ninja
 

So I learned from NPR this morning that today is the annual Day of the Ninja and was immediately disappointed that I didn't at least dress in black.

We'll rectify that tonight by eating goyza and maybe turning out the lights and creeping around the house in search of Scoundrel.

So, anyone mark this special occasion today?

Info here

I stealthily avoided work.

Hmm - I did manage to slip out early. Maybe I'll throw some chew-toy disks to Thurston

Surprisingly, Ask A Ninja did not do anything to commemorate the day.

I only celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day. You know, because pirates are cooler than ninjas.

When is Samurai day?

I'm picturing €uro and NA in full ninja gear sneaking around the house in the dark looking for the cat and I'm laughing myself silly.

I dressed totally in black. I know, I know- bit of a departure, but I like to shake things up on occasion.

I took NGU's cute little terror with me today pet sitting (along with Thurston) and I spent a good part of the day screaming like a ninja.

LOL! Took me a sec there, Bill- good one!

Bill catches on quickly!

(Psst, learn the words ham, taco, boobies, sphincter, bacon, package and use them frequently. You probably already know the word "pancake".)

Can Bill be a Pirate....AND a Ninja?? :eek:

If we can have Pirate Monkees, I see no reason why there can't eb Pirate Ninjas.

Or would it be Ninja Pirates?

Now I'm confused.

Pirate Ninja Monkey Robot?

Don't worry Bill,,,,,I've been here forever and still don't know what half of those mean;)

Lordy, we're totally going to scare him off. Looking at them listed, it occurs to me - one of these words is not like the others. :p

Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot
Hi-yaa, yarrr, braaaaains, bleep
Schizophrenic familiar
Four bastards in one


That would be Bob, my personal valet at the Kingdom of Loathing.:D



Ooooooh- a ninja pirate!!! That is a good username........Nah, too lazy.

I became a NirvanaNinja.

You know, my co-worker called me a coffee ninja the other day. I'm thinking it's a good thing...

I was Ninja for a short while today. This woman took about 15 min. to notice I was looking at her boobs...

Pirates and Ninjas know how to party :D

Oh that's right - Zombie, not Monkey. It's been too long since I went loathing.

I was enjoying a really lake breakfast one cold and dreary afternoon - a delicious stack of buttermilk pancakes with a side of bacon - when the doorbell rang. I dragged my body away from the table and tightened the belt on my robe as I made my way to the door to shoe away whatever unwelcome visitor was out there. As I peered through the windows to catch sight of the intruder my sphincter nearly gave out. "UPS," I whispered exitedly. "It's here."

"I have a package for you," spoke the woman in brown. Instinctively my eyes took a glance at her boobies. I smiled and nodded approvingly at both her words and the vision before me. But there were other things on my mind at the moment that I was more interested in. Could this finally be it? Is my Honey Baked Ham finally here, at my door, in the arms of a beauty? I accepted the package and gingerly shut the door. There was no way I could wait to open it in the kitchen. I had to do it right then and there. Gracefully I placed the box on the floor, drew my leatherman from the robe pocket, and scored the tape. "If only I could savor this moment," I thought as I rushed to open it.

Wait, what's this? The Taco of the Month Club? What the...?

Is it just me, or does it seem like Pirate Bill has been here all the time? He just fits right in.

You didn't actually read the entire 'Soooooo....' thread, did you?

And I think you've been hanging out with Helen.;)

I've sure missed Bill!

Bill, you are a treasure, no question!

I agree with WB, he's been hanging with 3894 and joins the many creative writers on LoT. He's in good company!

Ninja squid! Oh?

Silly swankers, everyone knows pirates hate ninjas.

Is that a leatherman in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?


Can't mojo you, Bill, though I keep trying. You may want to check out the Open Mic. :cool:

:argghh:

yeah, Im shocked

I named mine Jeebus. The Simpsons must have been on at the time.

Interesting to note that the Kingdom of Loathing added all that new pirate stuff just in time for ninja day.

Who is this bill character, and why do I feel strangely attracted to him?

More importantly, how do I sign up for the Taco of the Month Club?

And why oh why isn't there a b00bies of the Month Club?

Sadly, there is. Just not exactly what you were looking for.

It amazes me what one can find on the internet.

I clicked, but as soon as the page title loaded, I immediately closed it before I was subjected to any visual torture. Ew.

Surprisingly LoT does not come up in a Google search for "tacos and boobies" nor does it come up on the first page for "tacos and b00bies".

Pssst... Try Disney taco boobies

(But why anyone would want to search with that particular set of keywords is unimaginable.)

And why would Google think that the above text string was a mistake and offer up Disney tacco boobies as an alternate?!?

Dang... I wish I had known about that. I would have gone to see that!

If not for the ninja then Patton Oswalt. Having only seen him on stray reruns of King of Queens I was surprised when I saw one of his comedy specials and was reminded once again how much comics are neutered when they take sitcom jobs.

Speaking of comics, if you get a chance watch Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project . It is a great documentry/ insight on Don and is directed by John Landis.

Perhaps you should buy some of these shirts and hand them out.
