Pirates or Ninjas?

[Immortal1982]

Just a simple poll.

[southpaw]

I voted sockpuppets.

[Al-Dog]

I voted for Ninjas, they have better hygiene than Pirates.

[RedKarma]

That whot they beed wantin' thee to be thinkin', lad.

[Kaeos]

Ninjas are quiet and sneaky. Pirates are loud and stumbly. The pirates don't stand a chance. Ninja Pirates is just silly.

[barqs]

I voted sockpuppets.

i hear they give great sock

[Nostromo]

What about Ninja Cyborg? :) N

[KingVoyeur]

What about Pirate Ninjas, hmm?

[Cncrman]

Oompahs.




...what, oh crap, that's right, I'm not here. <waves hands> this is all a dream...a dreeeeam...

[RedKarma]

OMG, I just had a dream where a masked Oompah was poking me with a belaying pin while I sat at my desk in my incredibly cold work area.

[Al-Dog]

OMG, I just had a dream where a masked Oompah was poking me with a belaying pin while I sat at my desk in my incredibly cold work area.Are you sure it was a belaying pin? :eyebrow:

[Jakester]

...and are you sure that was your "work area?"

[RedKarma]

:lol:

I set 'em up, you guys knock 'em down.

[KingVoyeur]

Well, yeah, but they're Oompahs. Don't they just bounce right back up?

[Al-Dog]

That’s why they are so popular with the ladies.

[TrixieB]

Well, yeah, but they're Oompahs. Don't they just bounce right back up?

I think that's Weebles or Bumbles or something, not Oompahs.

Anyway, I voted pirates... 'cause I love booty!!!

[kah]

I voted pirates because they get to drink and sail and pee over railings and do all those things people would totally do if they wouldn't go to prison. Ninjas are cool, but they have to be sneaky and silent, and if I was going to be something I'm not, why would I want to be inconspicuous?

[Bill_the_Pony]

NEITHER!!!! :eek: HOBBITS from ISENGARD!!!!!! :eek:

[Bark]

I voted Ninjas, but it would really depend on the setting. Ninjas can't do jack on the ocean.

[neglet]

Wrong! Drunken Master Ninjas would rule on the ocean!

[Bark]

What do you mean, "wrong?" You didn't even make an argument. On the ocean, it's all about the sailing, and pirates would be the better sailors.

[neglet]

You said ninjas couldn't do jack on the ocean. I countered by positing that drunken master ninjas could easily jack up the pirates no matter how the boat was pitching or rolling.

Sailing didn't enter into the equation. Geez. The question wasn't "who's better at sailing, pirates or ninjas?"

[Bark]

Well, if you can't sail, you aren't going anywhere. My uncle is an avid sailor, and I tag along on sometimes. You definitely need to know what you're doing to go anywhere.

Sure those drunk ninja dudes may be badass, even on the ocean, but if they can't go anywhere on the ocean, the pirates could just sail around them and strike at random.

Remember, I said ninjas would beat pirates everywhere except on the high seas. This isn't anything against ninjas, but that's the pirates' playground.

[neglet]

Well, if you can't beat the ninjas except on the high seas, how do you even get the ninjas cornered on the high seas? Hmmmmm?

:shakehead: I'd thort pirate ninjas be awful, but zombie robots bain't natural. No sorr, bain't natural at all!

[Trazalca]

Oompahs.




...what, oh crap, that's right, I'm not here. <waves hands> this is all a dream...a dreeeeam...

And in said dream, a stealthy swarm of munchkin ninjas raids the Oompah compound,
eager to slay their candy-coated leader once and for all....

Oh. Sorry. Lost my head for a minute there. Must have been a relapse or a jerk
reaction to something from my hideous and violent past. Wow. Did I type that?
I must cut back on my Diet Coke consumption.

And oh yeah, I voted ninja pirates. :D

How can anyone want to be a Pirate?

While being a pirate looks like fun in the movies, my guess that in real life it’s got to be a pretty miserable existence. There you are stuck on a small (by today’s standards) ship for months at a time surrounded by smelly, half crazy, murderous, degenerates with missing limbs, missing teeth etc. The captain would work you half to death in the blazing Caribbean sun, and your only relief would be getting drunk on rum and the occasional moments of murder, rape and plunder.

I’d much rather be in the mountains of Japan living a life of devotion and martial arts training with my clan. Ok, so every so often you have to kill somebody (who probably deserves it anyway). Doesn’t that sound like a better lifestyle?

[kah]

Ok, well, I vote pirate captain or first mate.

I'd still take sailing and seeing the world over the awesomeness that is ninja.

[mckracken]

personally I'm bored with regular Blackbeard Pirates, sunken ships and buried treasure... but space pirates... thats a whole different story.

Space Ninja's ..well thats another story. Space ninja's are just absurd and crazy.

[Gentlemen Death]

I am tired of seeing all these happy ass pirate movies...Give me a somewhat real caption of the pirates that roamed are seas back in the day. Now that shit was brutal...Not this Disney rated G happy go lucky adventures on the fucking high sea's...

[kah]

That depends on the pirate....

You've got the real monsters, like Henry Morgan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Morgan)and Edward Low (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Low), but you've also got the guy who played the part and made a legend of himself in Edward Teach (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Teach). They were all successful pirates. :Dunno:

Oh...wow...I come back just to see what's up and I get called something from your "Hideous and Violent Past"? *sniff*

Can someone change my title to say that now?

[Trazalca]

Oh great. Now suddenly you're high maintenance? Go away for a few months,
then come back all sensitive, ready to plant flowers and sing folk music to a
bunch of tree-lovin' hippies? Ew.

I mean, damn. What happened to the dude that kicked in a car window, just
to make it to a job interview? Who plucked out the machismo from your spine?

Fine then. Let's just say that I sit daily at the chessboard at the park,
with nary a soul to sit across from me and play chess with for a LONG time.
I meant our debate was hideous, but in a fun way. Not you Mingus.

You really need to cut back on them Wonka bars, dude. :smirk2:

[Bark]

Well, if you can't beat the ninjas except on the high seas, how do you even get the ninjas cornered on the high seas? Hmmmmm?

Who says you corner the ninjas? Maybe the ninjas underestimate the power of Neptune's dominion and go there on there own. They might think they can handle it. Weather might permit the land lubber martial artists to clumsily sail a ways before it turns nasty. I'm not a sailor myself, but I could get a boat far enough out to be in deep s*** if/when things go bad.

Then again, perhaps they only go as far as the beach. I would still give the advantage to the pirates on the beach. There's no cover in which to hide, and the ninjas would be exposed to cannon fire.

Now, I don't see ninjas getting all the way out into deep blue water no matter how hard they try. That's most of the Earth's surface. They dominate on land, minus beaches. Therefore, the only place they would possibly encounter pirates and lose would be beaches, green water (sailing term, not literal), and a bit of the blue water, but not a lot, a mile or two. They're arogant enough to try to get there, but they will be humbled quickly.

[Cncrman]

I live in Oregon, we grow tree-lovin' hippies here for export. Don't think I went all touchy feeling in my time away (No jokes from you Jake). I'm back as time allows. And right now it's quiet. I'm like that stray dog you always wished would stay around but would wander off for days or weeks only to show up again wanting attention. So, ya know...woof.

In the theme of the thread I present Dr. McNinja (http://drmcninja.com/page.php?pageNum=41&issue=2) (the 2nd storyline, with the McNinja family attacking pirates.)

I'll grant you, nothing disturbs ninjas so much like an incessant round of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" or a string quartet playing Pachelbel. :lol:

[Cncrman]

Missed you too Jakie Poo.

[mckracken]

ninjas Win!!!!!!!!!!!

[tstone]

Both are cool, but pirates are cooler. Didn't get to vote, though.
