As of right now, Ecstatic Days is under ninja law.
Not in a bad way, mind you. I’m not here to install an oppressive regime and take away your liberties, hell no. I come in peace. See?
As a gesture of my good will, I’ve worn white so as to stand out from my surroundings and not inadvertently sneak up on and scare the bejeezus out of you. White is also the colour of peace. Andfuneralsandweddingsandtableclothesbutwhatever.
That aside, I am not here without a purpose.
It has come to our attention that in the eternal feud between ninjas and pirates, pirates are getting more than their fair share of attention. Yes, Jack Sparrow is mighty fine, but come on, seriously now, his halo of awesomeness has spread further than can be realistically justified. Pirates just aren’t all that. No, really, they’re not. There’s certainly no call to go about dedicating entire anthologies to them.
Pfft. Look at ‘im. What a tosser.
Therefore, it is only my duty to rectify this gross imbalance and enlighten you as to the supremely blisteringly supanova awesomeness of the ninja when compared to some poxy hairy pirate with bad breath and sweaty palms. Let the re-education begin!

If ninjas are as top shelf as you imply, I expect to see no less than five ninja stories that snuck passed Jeff and Ann to take their rightful place inside said Pirate antho.

Heh, I only just now noticed the “go ninja go!!” scribble on the logo. I didn’t think it was possible for mere words spelling “ninja” to be sneaky and hard to detect while also being bright orange, but I guess I thought wrong. Respect. :D

Pffft. No self-respecting ninja would be caught dead trying to get into a pirate anthology, c’mon now. There are such things as dignity and pride and reputation to consider.
I tried making the lettering as obnoxious as possible without using pink, but the power of neenja is mighty. ;p

Classic Ninja. Classic Ninja Weak-out, that is.
“I mean, we could, you know, if we wanted to. We just don’t. Honor and stuff, you know, pride. Look, we’ve got self, whatsit, self-respect! Yeah! That’s why we won’t do the sneaky Ninja thing, not because, you know, we can’t or anything. We could. We just don’t want to. Look, if you’re going to be a dick about this we’re going home. Hey, shut up about that! We could’ve taken Matthew Perry, no question, we just, you know, got dignity and stuff. But we could’ve. Hell, we could’ve taken the whole cast of Friends.”
I may have to concede that Ninjas are the best at something: the best at Weaking out.

Not bringing down the good name of neenja just to skulk about in an pirate book, ’cause neenjas aren’t so desperate as to sell out.
I bite my thumb at you, sah.
