187 Near Disasters

At this juncture it would be reasonable, despite the inherent contradiction, to wonder if my rational mind is finally gone. The City being what it is, the better presumption would be that self-diagnosis is premature and I was indeed ambushed by a handful of aspiring ninja at four o'clock this morning.

[cal_sitter]

Yes Kyle. Say it another time or two and they will still be ninja.

Did you at least take a picture?

[cal_sitter]

Do you think I commonly take photographs while subduing attackers? It's not as though I set up surveillance in expectation of an assault.

If you think you're losing your mind, it might be through overuse of metaphors.

Who said anything about happiness?

[browning_baby]

Broken collarbones are a bitch.

I didn't think we had bad ninjas here.

[cal_sitter]

Fortunately, I've only found it necessary to inflict them, not suffer them.

Something tells me that this group of ninja was part of a theme.

'Things that stalk you in the night'?

Things you might find in Japan shortly before it closed its ports.
