Re: Talk Like a Pirate Day: "Pirates And Ninjas"

[pyramonitor]

pirate with a cutlass vs ninja = no contest. no comment on how many ways that "pirate" would not stand a chance Chinese had guns too Duh japan traded with China

[Falcon6998]

Meh.. Technically it is sort of sneaky what pirates do, treading through the fog with every clue on where you are, then shooting cannons and cutting up the enemy out of nowhere. :D But, that's only if you're in a deep fog. =l

[TeamLeviathon]

Let's be reasonable. Is it not true that every time ANYONE (including ninja fanboys) says "Pirates Vs. Ninjas"... "Pirates" come first... EVERY time. it's because they come first in everything else as well. Pirates obviously kick ass by means of top billing as well.

[Wrim]

FINALLY someone that speaks about copycat-ing Jack Sparrow! Although this video is over 1 year old, I haven't heard anybody else mention it. Awesome rant! :)

[KurosenvsGrither]

Show me a ninja an' I'll show ye a spineless bilge rat!

[jakshob]

ARgh a girl pirate. COOL We all are pirates :) YARHH All Aboard

[thatoneguy907]

I am curious... I know that the blackbeard fire example is good for helping the intimidation side, but how exactly does it relate to pirates being prowessfull with their weaponry?

[AimzICRep]

Fear is a powerful weapon... >D (I guess that's why Pirates and Ninjas drew a tie on that one)

[Argo2Eternal]

Blackbeard carried no less than 6 pistols on his baldrics at any given time. That allowed him to be more likely to have a loaded sidearm long after others have exhausted that option.

And seeing 6 pistols also added to the fear factor as well. ^-^

[Daulkor]

Pirates kick ass

[leftyliz140]

Hey, where'd you get the audio for "A Pirate I Was Meant to Be?"

Oh, BTW, I (a pirate) decided to celebrate Ninja Day by dressing in head-to-toe black, drinking green tea, watching Ask A Ninja, and greeting everyone with a little bow. I'm sure people with more of a clue about it could tell you more.

[AimzICRep]

Ooh, green tea! That stuff's awesome. Good plan.

[thatoneguy907]

you can also devote part of the day to making origami shuriken. (then, if you feel particularly mischievious, give them to the kids in remedial english... heh heh.)

[AimzICRep]

I have learned to make paper stars, but paper shurikens are next on my list!

[Sweetseve]

I loved this!!

[NeoEmo6]

yeah ur like yahtzee, i love that guy. but the food's wrong. Pirates only ate well when they had the food, they didn't get to shore all that often and hence didn't have very good food. Actually, the food would be really disgusting.

They did have run though, and grog. when they were running low.

and plus, pirates kick ass

[NeoEmo6]

sorry, they had rum, not run

[PhantomShitter]

this whole style seems really familiar... I don't know why.

oh right because it's zero punctuation right.

[pentagonofpeople]

nice. 2 against 0. pirates win!

aye pirates be the best. arrr

[thatoneguy907]

and we (believe it or not) actually DO stuff. We just CHOOSE to not proclaim it to the world. do the words "combat parkour" mean anything to the drunken seafaring buffoon?

[thatoneguy907]

well maybe we don't want many movies. Perhaps that shroud of secrecy is a very valuable tool. Besides, whenever some nonja decides to make us public, they make it ridiculously laughable. (TMNT, Naruto, etc.) but in my opinion, a silent stab in the night beats a "yarr" any day.

[NeoEmo6]

yeah, it's useful because it's cowardly

[thatoneguy907]

It's useful because ninjas aren't predictable. cowardice is frowned upon in ninja culture. unlike the pirates. "Hey! I got it! let's steal from mostly unarmed traders and kill all the people on board including women and children! THEN We'll be cool! ARRR!"

[rachelpnda]

one word... Naruto

And americans don't have to get everything wrong

we just create our own version of right.

[kairuTE]

pirates suck

[OfficialWench]

Excellent! It's pretty much exactly what we said, but in much more detail and very clever. We've got nothing AGAINST our ninja brethren, but they really need to stop whining. It's all a question of who you'd rather hang out with, and as you so rightly point out -- pirates win every time. Well done, lass!!! Ol' Chumbucket

[Aphaythea]

Arrrrrr! Loved it! :-* Do more!

[anubicdarque]

Yarrrrr that there be an excellent example of why we, the humble, rascals of the wide open seas, are much better than the landlubbing, shadow skulking ninjas!

[lokkyray]

Fantastic, couldn't agree with you more, YAR!

[captainwill83]

Amen on the Jack Sparrow imitators. Hardly anyone be original anymore. Thanks to ye from us pre-Johnny pirates.

Brilliant all around, and I'll be embedding it on me blog, since I already embedded The Pirate Guys' argument. If I be anything, it be fair to both sides!
