Sometimes your friends e-mail you something so funny, you wish you could share it with the world. Jess - you kick ass and I am going to tell the world! She came up with this from some blog in the Denver area.
"I'd like to start a ninjas vs. pirates battle organization. Some people will show up as ninjas, and some as pirates, and a battle involving foam weapons will take place in some field around Boulder. You may say this sounds a lot like the way SCA/renfair types engage in "battles". Yes, that's true, but this is better, because it's PIRATES and NINJAS, which in case you haven't noticed KICK ASS! I have not figured out an exact location, but it would be ideal if someone could volunteer to set up big speaker stacks from which to blast heavy metal during the battle. Please email if interested. It's ok to switch between pirate and ninja teams at random, and if everyone wants to be a ninja, obviously we'll be looking for pirate volunteers and vice versa."
Jess and I decided that we would both like to be pirates - AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH. We then went on to discuss what type of music to play. Jess suggested Iron Maiden. I suggested Enya. Jess replied with Celine Dion. Ninja Orinico Flow.
My question is - why let these people in CO have all of the fun? What about a Queen City version of the battle? Winters here are long. . . Heck, show up to vote tonight as either a ninja or a pirate. If you run into your enemy in the polling place do battle outside. It is awesome and correct. Oh and it isn't like anyone listens to me anyway, especially since my last pro-communism blog, but vote FOR Initiative 2005-1, let the people decide. Oh and vote against the incumbent mayor, he doesn't want to let the people decide. Oh and this Perriman dude is a developer. Something to think about.

What about Vikings?

Maybe the real pirates were after the cruise ship's supply of Tamiflu.
I propose that the Vikings take on the winners of Pirates v. Ninjas. Or maybe the Vikings could take on an army of Power Rangers in a battle, and the winner of that battle could take on the Pirates/Ninjas victor.
yarrgggh!

Where are the ninjas? So far we have three pirates and a viking. Anyone? Anyone?
Calling all ninjas!
Or are you all here, but we don't know about it b/c you are ninjas. Good show.
I volunteer to be a ninja, mostly because it seems like the costume would be warmer and winter is nigh. How about Vikings v. Mimes?
-jess
I'll be a Ninja with you Jess. I think we can take 'em with our stars and kicks. Except I don't really know how to call to arms since we are the silent but deadly type!!!
BEWARE YOU MANGY PIRATES!
I would obviously have to be a Viking. My Norweigan roots would not allow me to be anything else. This pale skin has marked me for life.
Lefse rocks! Pass me the lutefisk.
That's two ninjas. Perhaps we can send up the ninja signal in the sky to summon our army of silent, deadly assassins who are going to kick some pirate booty.

It looks like the count is 2 ninjas, 2 pirates and 2 vikings. Battle Royale!
Now we just need to set a date and pick some musak!
*snap* *snap* when yer a pirate, yer a pirate all the way - from yer first cigarette to yer last dyin' day.
beware ninja's - and you too vikings. we pirates have been taking over ships lately - what have you to show fer yerselves?! yargh.
let's get ready to rummmmmmmble!!!
clearly loving this idea.

I don't mean to bring up a sore subject, but if I remember correctly, Capt. Stubbing was able to thwart the pirates with sound waves to prevent them from interrupting any of the scheduled events on the pramanade deck. As such proving that pirates are lame.
Vikings rule. Valhjala or bust!
