Nutroots Unleashed

A man dressed as a ninja wielding nunchucks was shouting about beating up Joe Lieberman. So, if you wondered what a Daily Kos diarist would do if he got out of his parents’ basement, now you know. In a way, Daily Kos is doing us a service, keeping these people busy in their little corner of the internets so they stay off the streets.

I bet a pirate could easily beat that ninja, though.

  1. But you dont have time to shoot when your ambushed by sneaky ninjas. A well designed ambush uses stealth to deliver immediate lethality to any in the zone. Now a pirate isnt going to sneak up on nuthin with those clunky boots and a squawkin parrot. Besides most pirates are blind in one eye which increases their blind spots and subsequent susceptibility to ambush.

  2. That’s no ninja. It’s the distraction. There’s nothing more conspicuous than a a grown man in pajamas jumping around while trying not to be seen.

    Yoshi Katahama has learned the first lesson of how not to be seen: Do not stand up.

  3. TerribleTroy, why do you think pirates carry parrots around? To detect ninjas!

    Additionally, pirates stay at sea. Ninjas can’t swim. Worse, they can’t take the balmy climate of the Caribbean.

    Pirates > Ninjas

  4. Arrr , pirates must hoist a flag ‘er ye can be struk. A sneaky ninja just creeps up and, WAM katana across the chest.

    A pirate must tell you “en gard ye land lubbin scally wag” ere ye can be struck. A sneaky ninja just creeps up and, WAM katana across the chest.

    Arrrr Mancuso Ninja > Pirate.

  5. I see, Deafdog, that you’ve never heard of Edward Teach, Calico Jack Rackham, Henry Morgan, Francois L’Ollonais (“The Flail of the Spaniards”), or the one Somali guy who went to college with Obama.

    Besides the fact that “he” was (supposedly) Chinese (Ninjas are Japanese), everyone knows that “Bruce Lee” is just an urban legend. Afterall, certain people claim that “Bruce Lee” bested Chuck Norris in battle. These people are now dead, but, regardless, there’s no such thing as a creature capable of besting Chuck Norris.

    Pirates > Ninjas

  6. Speaking of Nutroots…
    (UP story) Linda Brown, 44, went into a Burlington Coat Factory store in Columbus, Ohio and announced that she had won the lottery and would buy everyone in the store up to $500 worth of stuff.
    Hours later when the police arrived, there were 500 people in the store and 1000 more waiting outside.
    Linda Brown hadn’t won any lottery and had no money.
    She was arrested on 3 outstanding warrants and is being held for a mental health evaluation.
    Either she’s a Royal Nutroot or the perfect candidate for Obama’s Consumers goods Czar.

    At sea, in daylight: Pirates > Ninjas.
    On land, at night: Ninjas > Pirates.

  7. off-topic, I would love to see a post/review about the new tv show “The Middle” about life in middle America. More subtle humor-isms then jokes or gags. Not really conservative politically but its refreshingly not liberal. If you grew up working class in the mid-west like i did you may have many flashbacks.

    We cant keep complaining about the liberal media if we don’t support fair or conservative shows. Story wise its pretty similar to Malcolm in the middle but, a different sort of humor. Probably wont go get 10 seasons or be the greatest show ever. But this show is like a goofy version of the wire for the corn-belt. Just finished the third episode and they keep getting better so lets hope.

  8. As the local head of the ninja union I got to tell you, this guy was no ninja, we adapt and overcome. My guess is a real ninja was using him as a distraction for something far sneakier. Also, modern ninjas use modern weapons, we still have the swords and shurikens because they’re just badass, but we have nothing against a little bang-bang in the right time and place.
    Snake Eyes > Somalian Pirates

  9. Guffy & Marko,

    21st Century Ninjas are trained in modern weaponry in addition to being super sneaky and having the way cool all-black wardrobe. If the battle is at sea, then, perhaps, the Pirate would have a ‘sea leg’ advantage. On land, however, the ninja would thump the pirate.
