Mending borders

Say there's a long standing feud that's been going on for centuries.

You haven't really taken a side, per se, but you more readily identify with the swashbuckling, partying types than you do the stealthy bad ass types. You admire the stealthy bad asses, on the rare occassions that you see them, but you know you lack the coordination, skill and silence to ever be a part of their tribe. On the other hand, you fit right in with the partying swashbucklers and have been known to pillage for booty, carry on and wear bright obnoxious colors. All at the same time.

You're sort of sad about the longstanding feud. It seems that the bad asses and the swashbucklers should get along. Yet, somehow they don't.

One day*, as you're getting dressed, you look down at your bright orange karate pants and have an epiphany.

What if, what if!, the bad asses dressed more like the swashbucklers? Certainly, the swashbucklers have from time to time experimented with the bad ass attire with some success.**

Could the inverse work? Could bright, colorful ninja outfits cross cultural boundaries and help to heal the rift between the ninjas and the pirates?

The solution is simple. You simply need to start making ostentatious ninja outfits!!

So the question, I know pose to you, dear readers, is this: Solid or multicolored? If solid, which color?*** I sort of lean towards a myraid of colors, because I'm obnoxious and over-the-top that way, but I take any and all suggestions.

*On the exact same day that this post was made. I swear to god it was an independent thought.

***It has been pointed out to me that there's pretty high incidence of red green colorblindedness, so those colors may be bright and cheery, yet still stealthy for some portion of the population.

costume, absurd, 'stina
