Shirts of the day: Make a loud noise

I love finding new shirt sites. This one, NoiseBot, is pretty similar to SnorgTees. It comes with the standard “contains material that may offend” disclaimer. Which is funny because shirts are made using material… but here are some of my favourites. You can also buy them as tote bags.

YouTube Toosday: Real Life Ninja Turtle

Real life ninja turtles are popping up all over the internet. The latest is this ninja who purposefully got himself caught by a fishing family – just so he could teach them a lesson.

Ninja turtle

One of our pet turtles has a severe case of ninjavitis. He thinks he’s a ninja. I won’t show him this photo…

Found here.

Japanese cultural convergence

The Japanese – famous for a love of baseball, over-exaggerated television programming and Samurais.

Shirt(s) of the day: Feeling shirty

BustedTees is having a sale. They have some funny shirts – and some wildly inappropriate ones. Here are my favourites. Click on the image for the link…

Flying off the handle

Did you see it? Obama. Killed. A. Fly. With his bare hands. My hatred for flies is well documented. And now, when I’m home for Christmas, I’ll be able to use the presidential defense when I swat a fly with my hands…

More significantly – Obama is a ninja. Check it out.

This little piece of karate awesomeness (sans chopsticks) has earned Obama the ire of PETA. As if he didn’t have enough to worry about.

PETA’s blog – called the “PETA Files” (as if we needed any more evidence that they’re a massive joke foisted on us by the ultra right) – loudly condemned the President – and the story has received global attention.

They’re sending him one of these awful fly catchers – who needs one of these when you have such awesome ninja skills.

“Simply place Katcha Bug over the bug and slowly slide its plastic trapdoor shut. The bug will step onto the trapdoor as it closes, and you can carry Katcha Bug outside, where all you need to do is slide the trap door open, allowing the bug to walk away. “

Here’s what PETA said – it’s a bit of a beat up – but still, it’s worth learning that if you want to be taken seriously you need to pick your battles.

“Believe it or not, we’ve actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA’s official response to the executive insect execution,” a blog on the group’s website explained. “In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn’t the Buddha, he’s a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act.”

Ninjafy your wall

Shurikens make for awesome home decorating. They’re cooler if you throw them at the wall and they stick in – but these “coat hooks” are pretty cool.

“The Ninja Coat Hooks look will transform your hallway into the scene of a Shanghai back street stand-off. Each metal Ninja Coat Hook has one corner cleverly engineered into a screw, which allows you to fix securely to your wall or door, whilst making it look like it has been hurled from the hands of a deadly Ninjitsu assassin.”

Ninjafy your car

After you’ve got things in the kitchen to a dangerously ninjafied status it’s time to turn your car into a lean, mean, killing machine (figuratively not literally).

Ninjafy your dinner

All meals are better ninja flavoured. So these ninja salt and pepper shakers are just the ticket.

Pirates v Ninjas: Black and white issue

First there was ninja v ninja checkers – and now a chance to settle the age old question – pirates v ninjas.

Ninja signs

If you think your awesome castle may suffer a visit from ninja assassins you should make sure they know how to get in just so they don’t damage your carefully manicured rock garden…

Who am I kidding? Ninjas move so quickly they leave no trace – but having one of these graffitied signs outside your abode would be awesome…

Shirt of the Day: Ninja Code

For people who know CSS and like ninjas… Buy it here.

Most unpointless USB drive ever

You know what this is? The most awesome USB drive ever – even cooler than the guy who turned his finger into a thumb drive… it’s a shuriken. For your ninja themed office.

It’ll only set you back ¥10500 for 2GB of storage and comes with this warning:

Please note that this product is not a “real’ Shuriken, and cannot be used as such, also we would like to remind you that this product may be dangerous due to its sharp edgez and MUST be handle with care.

Ninja Checkers

When your little sister (number 2), who is topping her course at uni (Business)  tells you to do something. You do it. Because you know it’s good business. She wants me to post this Ninja Checkers Set from Etsy. 

So I did. Also, it’s got ninjas. So it’s pretty much natural blog fodder round these parts anyway.

At the movies…

My fixation with ninjas is well documented… but did you also know that I’m fascinated with assassins – largely due to two of my favourite game franchises – Hitman and Assassins Creed, and martial arts movies… So something bringing all of those elements together is enough to warrant a Sunday afternoon post. I give you the poster for “Ninja Assassin” possibly the most eagerly anticipated movie release of 2009 (except for Transformers 2)…

It’s directed by the guy who directed V for Vendetta, and the special effects were put together by the guy who did the Matrix and Speed Racer – so it should be awesome.
