Day of the Ninja
That's right, ladies and gentlemen! This December 5th is the fourth annual Day of the Ninja, and as self-respecting geeks we should do something to commemorate the occasion. Granted, our options are more limited than we'd have for Talk Like a Pirate Day, but there must still be something that we can do. Some options are:
1. Have as many people as possible adopt ninja-themed avatars for the day, if only the official Day of the Ninja logo.(http://ninjaburger.com/dotn/) 2. Publish some ninja fivers, if only here in the forums. If enough people want I could even five the Three Ninja movies. That'd be cool, right? 3. Post pictures of ourselves wearing T-shirt masks. (http://ninjaburger.com/employment/manual/ninjamask.jpg) Ideas? Insults? Kudos? Free cheeseburgers?

Aw man, my Babel Fish hiccuped again. Would you mind repeating that?

'Remarkable', in a stereotyped accent.

WHAT? How did you know? No one is supposed to know! Ahem.
You saw nothing. No one was here. There are no ninjas. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

Going with a classic is always in good taste. Too bad that for the rest of my life "these aren't the droids you're looking for" will be associated not with Obi Wan directly, but with Dave Anez hanging upside down from the top of a Bob and George panel trying to explain away a plot hole.

It's not associated with Star Wars for me either, but I'll be damned if I remember what I do think of it with.
Don't ask me how that works. It just does.

Oh yeah, certain ideas just supersede others in our minds. For example...
1. Whenever the radio plays "American Pie," my mind has a fifty-fifty chance of singing the lyrics to "The Saga Begins" instead. Okay, maybe it's sixty-forty.  2. The song All Star by Smash Mouth has permeated my mind to such an extent that even though it's not my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, to this day when the radio starts "Somebody once told me..." I start to sing along immediately, sometimes I'm so fast that I can latch in on "body." It's an addiciton, and a terribly insidious one at that. One of these days I'm gonna have to toss it into a fiver, just to make sure that the immortality it's thrust upon me endures, sort of like a chain fiver.  There's a new one for the glossary, huh?3. Simularily my favorite inane fiver couplet continually pops up in my mind: "You know they say a fool and her dog are soon parted." "Who cares?" As Dave Barry would say, it's a terrible waste of brain cells. No offense, Zeke.

Oh, and to return the topic to the Day of the Ninja, what are our thoughts on the topic?

I'm sad to admit that you have a point there. About the topic, not the thoughts. We all have a lot of thoughts, not all of them relevant, important, or funny, but we all have a lot of thoughts.

That being said...NINJA! *waits for those who get the reference*

Yikes, this waiting line is pretty long. So long that everyone in the other line already has their PS3s and have gone home.

Okay, that's just obscure. I guess you can find a webcomic about anything these days, huh?

Paying attention to what? The oscurity of webcomics, or the fact that someone linked ninja webcomics to a ninja thread?
