Ninjas are terribly high on the pecking order
February 09, 2007 - In the latest IM tellin', Sean and I debate the rules that really should govern ninjas, among other things.
Sean: vampires, by nature, are essentially smooth criminals Sean: if you think about it Ben: that is a good point ... almost like ninjas Sean: ninjas are not smooth criminals Sean: because you cannot by any means measure a ninja to be smooth or not Sean: because....who is going to see them? Ben: fluent: smooth and unconstrained in movement Ben: i think by virtue of not being able to see them, if it's witnessed that a ninja is at point a, and then at a later time at point b, then his/her movement would have to qualify as smooth, no? Sean: but for all you know Sean: the motion between point a and point b could have been the most jerky, strange, robotic movement ever made Ben: but if you don't notice it, does it really happen? Sean: plus, ninjas exist on a higher plane of existance Sean: so they cannot be quantified or categorized by normal standards Ben: now you're going overboard Ben: you are treating ninjas like chuck norris! Sean: take a few seconds to think about what chuck norris really is Sean: and you will realize that he but sits on the highest rank of ninja Ben: i can agree with that Ben: but you can't lump all ninjas into elite class Ben: because if you do that, then an elite class ceases to exist Ben: there have to be bad ninjas, if there are good ones Sean: which is why he sits ABOVE the highest rank of ninja Sean: there is no class that can hold a man of chuck norris' stature Ben: so, let me get this straight Ben: single-celled amoeba -> .... -> fish -> ... Ben: -> man -> ninjas -> chuck norris Sean: put into simple terms, yes Ben: ok Ben: but you can still classify fish as being smooth or not smooth Ben: it's linear ... Ben: so unless man is completely separate from ninjas and chuck norris, then those rules could still apply Ben: oh, how could i forget! Ben: you are a secular humanist Ben: now this makes PERFECT sense Ben: sorry for the confusion ... as a liberal quaker, some things are just too hot to handle, and too cold to hold Sean: haha Sean: clearly our religious beliefs do not come together on this issue Sean: you know what that means right? Sean: I have no choice but to call a crusade Ben: i do not call it a crusade ... i call it a jihad ... therefore ... you must die! Sean: prepare to be inquisitioned! Ben: prepare to be basted, turkey!
