Ah, Van Plague, it's not a Norwegian Blue but a fine example of a Danish Green, I see. Hatched in an empty Tuborg can, hardened on pickled herring and acrid Danablu, brutally berserk bird in battle!

Very rare too, though rarer yet is the Swedish Yellow (pictured here with attractive ginger fatbeard pirate).

On behalf on a friend:
'Do these people have no idea what coulod happen if you put a ninja on a plank?
"Hm, its something springy, perhaps its time to do a back flip and lay waste to these one legged idiots..."'

in all the history books I read as a kid the pirates were always being beaten up by a little french blonde bloke, high on magic potion, and his big mate with an unhealthy crush on his small dog.



So ninja for me baby.
 
 
pointless and uncalled for

I remember those books, very educational in French culture as well. Another reason for not being a pirate is clearly depicted here.

There is no room in my wardrobe for such a silly hat.

Now, I got nothin against a ninja, but these here came by my ranch thinkin tuh steal my horse. Couple days later I found this out by Dry Gulch:




Didn't lay a hand on em, m'self. I figure Comanches got em. Ninja cain't touch a Comanche, y'know. Then a couple days later this pirate shows up at the saloon, cheatin' at cards. I didn't lay a hand on him, but only because that Mexican John McGill got 'im first:



Pirates cain't touch a Mexican gambler, neither.

Ninja, all the way.

Ninpo, budo, taijutsu, sanshin, kihhon, mikyo, kuji.

Good guys wear black.

so...

this thread now leads me to ask, when do we battle?

and to throw out a casual reminder that there were never any GIJoe pirates.
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
22:18 / 20.02.03
No, the pirates were Cobra.
 
 
ONLY NICE THINGS
22:41 / 20.02.03
Pirates are so like, unsubtle - I mean check their weapons, Cannons, I ask you. Shruiken and Nunchucka - now there's some weapons.

I remind you, as ever, that the most successful attempt by a ninja to assassinate a daimyo was, in fact, with a cannon...
 
 
Char Aina
22:50 / 20.02.03
well, i think i can remeber a Cobra ninja, but ....wait....nope, no pirates.


show us yer pirates.
(and no dressing up cobra commander in a funny hat, i know what you scurvy sons of the sea are like)

And I'm no pirate, by the way. I'm a cowboy.
 
 
w1rebaby
23:01 / 20.02.03
a ninja cowboy or a pirate cowboy?
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
23:06 / 20.02.03
Asked and answered.

23:10 / 20.02.03
i think i may have to concede to actually remembering the dreadnoks....


bugger.

if i were cobra, i think might have to be a pirate... but a very ninja one, obviously. one with a sword made from folded metal and a mask made from a tshirt.

I always thought they were the "Dreadnoughts". What's a nok? Those crazy British bikers...

A Nok! A Nok! You know, like Annie used to sing about "its a hard nok life, for us. Its a hard nok life for us in the city..I want to be on the sea, dealing in pi-ra-cy! (sing it everybody!) Where ninja's are a mere formality..their blood runs like my pee! Its a hard nok life..
 
 
8===>Q: alyn
09:41 / 21.02.03
What's a nok?

Yeah, I had a hell of a time finding that stupid picture cuz of that. I think a nok is a stupid lackey with an improbable close-quarters sidearm, such as a buzzsaw, a blowtorch, or a, uh, gigantic can-opener.

Wait, this is off topic, isn't it?

Do the Dreadnoks count as pirates?

I always thought they were a right bunch of wankers.

Well, even though this thread is six months old, I felt like adding things to it.
I come from a long line of fierce Viking warriors; my father, my grandfather, his father, his father, etc.
However, raping and pillaging the townsfolk is not what it once was. Thus, against my father's will, I have traveled to Japan, to learn the ancient rites of the samurai. I like ninjas, though, so I'll probably go renegade and become a ninja so I can keep with the pillaging.

Oh, and pirates? Come on! Those stupid good-for-nothing Viking wannabes could be beaten by an overactive kid with a dagger and green tights! Sure, he can fly, but, come on!

Even though I hate this shit and it's definitely bore/completelyshitcore, I fall down pretty heavily on the side of ninjas. Obsessed with the orient and martial arts as a kid, diiiiig Ronin, read all the Musashi books as a teen, own the 5 Rings (or whatever it's called) and, well, that fucking hilarious story Haus tells about the ninjas and the cannon prettty much seals it.

Actually, just realised most of that stuff makes me a SAMURAI. Oh well. Shit game anyway.

I am Ninja! Hear me whoosh!

Actually ninjas are much better than pirates. We are masters of all weapons and martial arts and we can wield a cutlass far better than any pirate and we can drink more rum than 12 ships filled to the sails with pirates and yet we are not affected by it. We can also control pirates through our ninja mind tricks and (CHEAP SHOT ALERT!) we can read!

Look, people, I can't decide if I'm male or female, okay? Now you want me to pick EITHER ninja or pirate? What about stealth swishbuckler with a penchant for black, who can't give up the rapier and goofy hat?
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:24 / 01.08.03
That would be Zorro.
 
 
Spyder Todd 2008
00:52 / 01.08.03
WAIT! I've changed my mind! Can I be Zorro?!?

Arrr, ye can at that.

Nancy-boy.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:42 / 01.08.03
You can be Rumplestiltskin for all I care...but if you aint a pirate ya'r nothing!

Arrrr!

Zorro is an honorary viking.

06:49 / 01.08.03
Right. So I'm a weird sort of androgyne Zorro.

*pauses for thought*

Okay. I guess I'll go be a weird androgyne Zorro over here then, and you ninjas and pirates can fight. This could be amusing.
 
 
Spyder Todd 2008
12:21 / 01.08.03
Hurrah! I'm notonly Zorro, but an honourary Viking too!

Ha! fucking pirates...*mutter, mutter, sneer, mutter*
