...I'm talking, of course, about the annoying debate between the Ninjas and the Pirates. Last week was the beginning of Ninja Respect Month and also Pirate Pride Week, a scheduling conflict that is equivalent to hosting a presidential address the same night as the World Series.

Although The Daily reported about Ninja Pride Week, the Pirates were remarkably absent in the press. When I went to White Plaza, though, all I saw was Pro-Pirate demonstrations. The Pirates had planned a "Blackpearl Remembrance Day" that happened to coincide with Ninja Week. Both groups held rallies peacefully, but their sentiments were about as peaceful as an A's fan-base.

It all centers on what happened several decades ago. The Pirates and the Ninjas had an altercation that they to this day, are still fighting about. Something about a pirate wench they both claimed, I dunno. She's pretty old now, bruised and rough. But they are still fighting over her...

Since I have no idea what his metaphor stands for and have no interest in digging deeper into the site to find out more information, I am just going to assume the entire population of Stanford is batshit insane, a bunch of Pirate Steve types.

His last paragraph kinda kills it. Does he really think people would've taken this at face value without that disclaimer?

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

Whyfor no PIRAT NINJARS?

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 May 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

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.

― giboyeux (skowly), Thursday, 19 May 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

Or NINJAR PIRAETS for that matter.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 May 2005 04:04 (twenty years ago)

Also, giboy very OTM.

― Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 19 May 2005 04:05 (twenty years ago)

Correction: ninjas OTM. Pirates, on the other hand, OTM (O = off. SNAP!)

xpost

1. It is insanely funny. Five years ago.
2. Five years ago it autoloaded that awesome 24-note mono-fi midi loop of Big Pimpin', which really brought the room together.
3. Hum the hook from Big Pimpin' continuously while you hit the site - or better, play it on a Casio. This will make everything much funnier.

My money is on the ninjas to set the pirates up the bomb.

“Slowly, we will continue to crush the Left’s will to resist, as they will crack under pressure,” Rice-Cameron crowed in an email, showing he has a great future ahead of him doing Darth Vader cosplay.
