Ninja Counter-Warfare

Playing catch-up on Project Say Something again.  This question / theme comes from Kim.

“We’ve all done stupid things in our lives. (Don’t deny it, you were a teenager once too!) What’s one of the stupidest things you’ve ever done? Tell us all about it! (Or if you’re like me and have a ginormous LIST of them, just pick a few )”

Oh my.. So many to choose from…

When I was about 8 years old I was fighting off imaginary ninjas in my backyard. (You know.. Like you do) My weapon of choice was a bicycle chain lock.  You know the kind from back in the 80’s.  Tiny little chain wrapped in some neon-colored soft-plastic sleeve with a tubular combonation lock at the end?  Yeah - that’s the one.  Well unbeknownst to many is that these chains are the bane of all imaginary ninjas and as such, I was using it to bring down justice upon the vile ninjas. 

The battle had reached a fevered pitch when one of the most vile ninjas ducked behind a fence post.  Not to stopped by this show of ninjaly cowardness, I swung my ninja-bane bicycle chain with all the rightgeous force I could summon.  The Cowardly Ninja sneered at me as chain pasted right through his imaginary body swung around the pole and impacted with my skull.  I can still clearly remember the feeling of the lock impacting right above my left ear.  I don’t remember much after that except laying on the ground, throwing up…

Real smart…
