It's a hard decision, I know...

.
This is a debate that has been around for centuries... which is better: pirates or ninjas? I must say that I have given the topic a lot of thought. Pirates have some pretty sweet gear, they swagger around, say "arrrgh," make people walk the plank, and have a deep love of rum. Patches and parrots and peglegs! There's something pretty cool about being able to say "yo ho yo ho" and not get yourself slapped.
On the other hand, ninjas are stealth. They come in the night... they will go CRAZY on you! I mean, you DON'T want a ninja coming after you! They carry swords and battle the forces of evil. That's pretty sweet, I'm not going to lie. They can run up walls, spin around in the air, crawl on the ceiling, and do some serious damage without ever being heard. Sigh... I'm torn.
If you're having as much trouble as I am, entertain yourself with these websites:

I second that. Ninjas might be able to do cooler things, but pirates look much cooler and they have treasure.

i am SO undecided on this issue. i mean, pirates TOTALLY rule the bohemian, style category, and that is totally more my personality. but wouldnt it be badass to be a f'in NINJA! i mean, you'd have lots of skills...nunchuck skills...

sorry it is realultimatepower.net
not .com. If anyone wants to be a pirate after this instead of a ninja you are crazy!!

Elizabeth Spann said...

Good Lord, you've gotta be kidding! Those are REAL people running up walls and doing crazy kicks! I don't think I can do that... I think it's highly impressive.

i did ask my 7 year old nephew hunter whether he'd rather be a pirate or a ninja, and he said ninja. which is pretty surprising considering he just got a TON of pirate stuff for xmas...
