There’s actually a corporate retreat motivational activity package called “Polar Bear Pirates.”
I bet adding ninjas would make it even better.
14 Aditya // Apr 17, 2009 at 1:25 am
This is so beautiful I could cry tears of awestruckness.
15 Zach // Apr 17, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Pirates, ninjas, bears, thesbians, it really doesnt matter who wins. At the end of the day Zombies prevail over all of them. Just ask the members of the mineapolis pirate pub crawl, the zombies beat them every year.

Great blog site. By the way, I just finished reading ” A Dirty Job”. You’re insane, but in a great way. I laughed throughout the entire book. I’m reading “Lamb” next. Can’t wait!
17 Amanda Dubs // Apr 25, 2009 at 11:23 am
These tweets make me laugh so hard when I read them. Why do they have so many weird words for the things you do on that site? I just can’t take it seriously when you take a picture of yourself with the “twitpic”.

I should like to know Chris’ thoughts on Muppets and does he believe that one day they will rule the world over ninja’s pirates and the offspring of Kira Knightly. Fool is hysterical by the by. Cheers
