[MrCoffee]

3. hiya!

[BarenakedLady]

2. Ninjas!

Because I hate clowns. No really, they are evil.

[LeftyMom]

4. Pirates!

And I'm not just saying that because I'm going to the world's only pirate-themed vegan restraunt next week.



Oh wait, that is exactly why I'm saying that! :woohoo:

12. A pirate-themed vegan restaurant?

That's gotta be a bit different. Aarghh! Yo ho ho and a bottle of Silk!

[LeftyMom]

15. I'm sure it will be.

This is the place: http://www.piratestavern.com/

16. An interesting-looking place.

Please report back after you've visited. I don't think I've ever been to a pirate-themed restaurant of any sort.

[LeftyMom]

20. I'll be sure to

:D

[WhollyHeretic]

18. OK, I really have to go visit Oregon again

When I was traveling through there years ago I stopped at a laundromat and they served good beer and veggie dogs. I was about to move there just for that :)

19. Apparently Portland is the vegan capitol of the known universe now

(Well, NYC might have more stuff, and I definitely need to head out there one of these days, but Portland is a hell of a lot smaller.) They've got Food Fight vegan grocery, and the Herbivore store and about a zillion vegan places to eat, including :drool: a whole store full of vegan donuts.

5. I can't pick between Pirates and Ninjas!

:(

[Bucky]

6. It's a lot closer than you may think... ninja-mariachis vs pirate-clowns

That would be an awesome movie!!

8. I've seen it. It is the Ultimate.

Fred Rogers, in real life a highly decorated combat sniper, was the highlight of the cartoon.

9. Do ninjas have sashes, big boots, and parrots?

I didn't think so! Pirates rool, ninjas drool!

[Bucky]

10. Petronius, please don't introduce Socratic argumentation into this thread

Besides, until pirates start wearing matching black & gold outfits and serenading overwhelmed restaurant patrons with a small brass section, they'll never beat mariachis.

also, they pack

[ghostsofgiants]

11. Fuck that...

A pirate would just pillage whatever the mariachis have and then make them walk the plank.

[Bucky]

14. HA! This is what happens when pirates make mariachis walk the plank

Mariachis run down the plank and jump free of the explosion... while holding the girl!

Then they swim to shore, change outfits, and make it to the restaurant in time to ruin your dinner conversation.

[petronius]

13. Oh, come on! I'll agree there are 3 bad-ass mariachis, but

they're the exception that proves the rule. Think about it: mariachis are always described as "strolling" (seriously sissy-like behavior), while pirates are regularly characterized as "swashbuckling." There is very little that is tougher than swashbuckling around town with a parrot on your shoulder.

Anyway, the results of your own poll clearly prove that the vast majority of DUers are firmly in the pirate camp. Perhaps you should go back to freeperville, you ridiculous mariachi groupie!

;)

17. Ninja. China has always ruled.

even the ex-pat's.
