Two 'hips' and a 'hooray' for the quite possibly the best post in months. I needed that...

Good post.

I think I can safely say that many of us have a touch of mall ninja.

I owned "nunchucks." I took shotokan karate classes. I sure enjoyed a good action movie. I even bought a book titled "Ninja- the secret ways of the hidden warrior" or something like that. I grew up and got rid of that stuff, but I'm not ashamed of it. Running around the park as a 10 year-old chopping the air with my deadly Budddha palm beats lying around playing Playstation four or five hours a day. Makes you a healthy mall ninja.

When I pull out a knife for task, I still have a obscure, childish urge to feint at an imaginary opponent and make a swishing noise...but I don't (well, almost never...and if any if you say you've never done it, you're lying).

Real mall Ninji don't has ta tell everone that dey's Ninja dey jus' no it.

So I beg of everyone who reads this post, please, just say no to Ninjas.

Looks like I made it before this got to W&C.

It's "fora"...

Thank you! (I flunked Latin.)

All together now -- "Fora he's a jolly good fellow, fora he's a jolly good fellow..."

MALL-NINJAS BEWARE (ninji ?)

 

[Clint Simpson]

The plural of ninja is - ninja, and ninjas

The plural of cactus is - cactus, cacti, and - cactuses!

I love my native tongue. (That means language, you pervs!)

Watch your tongue; we're not in W&C... yet.

(Sorry, couldn't resist )

Ninja is Japanese. Japanese has no plural form. 1 Ninja or 100 Ninja, it doesn't matter. Just like Samurai. Take for example the confusion over the title of the movie The Last Samurai, they were referring to the group, not an individual.

Well, how about ninjatachi?

Thank you Polish Avenger for understanding the value of this Thread.

Thanks to Mike H for his revealing look into his childhood and his inner Mall Ninja he calls Bubba Ninja.

Thanks to Pogo for his outright admittance of being a Mall Ninja. . this is the first step on the road to recovery . . .all Mall Ninjas say hello to Pogo . . .all together now . . . Hello Pogo!!

Skunked . . no I don't sleep to well . . Mall Ninjas must always have one eye open!


All Hail Soupha!!!
Why? For understanding what this post is all about! We ALL have had, or still have a little Mall Ninja in us. Movies have help pave this road. We all have imagined ourselves as a lone survivor with miraculous skills and weaponry. How many times have we opened our brand new knife boxes, eagerly pulled out our shiny new knife and . . . drum roll . . . .POSED with it in front of the mirror.

You know YOU HAVE! It is not a satisfactory bonding time with your knife until you have reversed your grip and pulled your arm up to your chest and throw imaginary 'tactical' strikes with it.

Just be brave everyone . . admit it. So maybe you've grown out of the P.O.S. fantasy knives, and have a wife and kids. Maybe you have educated yourself with the different steels, and learn to appreciate in the beauty of quality custom knives. Good for you, good for us all. Let's just remember our roots, and try to be nice to the guys who are just getting of the little 'yellow' school bus with their nunchukus and throwing stars. . .maybe soon we can show them light . . .and someday . . maybe someday, through their love and imagination, they will become a great knife maker . .that way we can buy Bitch'n new Dark OPs knives!!!!

P.S. Hey can anyone post a pic of an elusive Mall Ninja? That would be swell, just swell.

 

[Jubei]

I always thought that the plural to Mall Ninja, was Dweebs. Or was it Dorks? Maybe it was Goobers.

Whatever,

I somehow think this was a big cry for help, which is fine, but it may have backfired just a tad. A real mallninja doesn't realize he is one so he/she wouldn't be able to admit it.

I'm going to paint the town red.

 

[wetdog1911]

Not a Mall Ninja here. Mall Ninjas are too uppity.

So, I am the rarest of the rare. Mall Ninjas are a dime a dozen. I am one of the deadliest and most dangerous, a genuine Bubba Ninja. Any other Bubba Ninjas out there?

Bubba Ninjas are the worst (dangerous), there is. They soon tire of the cheap throwing stars, chuks, and UC fantasy knives and move into the world of esoteric firearms and in Mikes case (and mine) quality blades like Busse.

Why chunk a throwing star from 30' when you can make a nice splatter from 1/2 mile or more with a Barrett? Even more if you start to get serious and go to 20mm and up.

For my side, I'll take Bubba Ninjas every time.

I'm going to paint the town red.

Holy Crap! I had one of those costumes as a kid!

Does that make me a... Nah, that's crazy. I couldn't be a... Could I?

All these repressed memories are flooding back. The cardboard sai...plastic swords...

Ahh heck, I had a great time.

Take care.

 

[Jay_Wyatt]

When I was in my mid teens; I had a cheep set of throwing knives.(very dull)
Some way or another, one of them ended up going through my parents front glass door. Many (I told you so's later) I developed a taste in much better quality knives.

Cheap knives = trouble

Alright Deaths Head! That is an awseome pic. USUAFSP . . so what your saying is that the condition of the Mall Ninja is like an insane person . .they never know their condition?

Sad . . but true . .so really all I was saying is that I am in touch with my M.N. I may not molest it like some do. I try to educate myself a.m.a.p. here and haven't bought a cheapy in about 20 years . .which made me about 12 when I bought my first P.O.S. I think it was that wannabe Rambo knife with the fish wire and matches for about 12 bucks. Hey I smell another thread comming.

By the way nice Gunhammer . .truly not a M.N. pick up!

I think that you are more of an enthusiast thana Mall Ninja. Unless of course you walk around sizing people up and thinking about the best way to take them out. Mall Ninjas' generaly think they are warriors, and that isn't catergorized by the knives they buy. I understand that you feel the pressure from previous bad purchases and such, but unless you actually feel that you are a 7th level magic user, or some type of psedo-navy seal, then you are not a Mall Ninja. Sorry to dissappoint.
