Ninja Crime on the rise in Pittsburgh?

*oldmanwinters* · 04-27-2011, 02:14 PM

Well, this reminds me of something:

Marcie Cipriani fills in for April O'Neil.

So what have we learned? Surveillance cameras and hand guns trump Ninja skills and ancient swords any day.

"But the most disturbing silence is that coming from city hall. Marcie Cipriani, Channel 4 Action News."

Wait, he was caught on camera and smashed into the railing and fell down the steps??...sucky ninja!

"NINJA...Clumsily retreat!!"

Yeah, really! There will be no vanishing for this guy...wow that one was corny. Either way, the resemblance of this strange occurrence to TMNT is uncanny!

**Jester** · 04-27-2011, 06:15 PM

Professor: These incisions could only have been made with a samurai sword. And look at this rope. This could only be the work of ninjas, the ancient band of Japanese warriors.
April: And how can you tell that from the rope, Professor?
Professor: Well look for yourself, its made in Japan!

I wonder if Chief of Police Nathan Harper has a statement?

Perhaps executing a plan of redeployment that will minimize response time while maximizing coordination between patrol units in a decentralized networking scheme?

**Jester** · 04-27-2011, 06:21 PM

I think I have that right here:

EDIT: And I need to learn to read.

lol, I added that quote in a few minutes after my original post, so it might have been easy to miss.

I think we should just stick to asking questions and not put words into the Chief's mouth. After all, who are we to tell him how to do his job?

Indeed, but I have to wonder about the ninjas, you know, a thousand year old clan of assassins, is it possible they’re in the city? Maybe we should stake out Technology Central to answer that question, because it may be the next target of this mysterious burglar.

If they're looking for his hideout, they should check out the old abandonded warehouse over on East Lairdman island. You'll find your answers there.

**Jester** · 05-02-2011, 02:12 AM

Well played Fugie.

*Kendamu* · 05-02-2011, 02:23 AM

I read about this somewhat recently. As a TMNT fan and as someone knowledgeable in historical Ninjutsu, it makes me laugh on more than one level.

Considering his blunders, he must be studying the sbridged book of Ninja fighting.

More evidence of an organized ninja clan terrorizing the Pittsburgh area:

Have pity on the city; man, it's in trouble.

**Jester** · 05-02-2011, 03:25 AM

Man, you guys have used all the good ninja puns!

Those women are....dumb...yeah!

Ninja Pizza...pizza that vanish quickly without trace? Nah....

Then again swiping lottery tickets and cigarettes sounds like a Foot clan crime...I mean they knocked over soda machines and stole peoples ice cream. And before I miss the obvious: Stole cigarettes..."Regular or Menthol!" YES!!! GOT IT!

*Kendamu* · 05-03-2011, 04:10 AM

So, hey, I have three spare bandanas and some Japanese weapons if anyone's hungry for pizza and wants to fight clumsy ninjas.

you pay the plane ticket? :p

*Kendamu* · 05-03-2011, 05:01 PM

No. You're gonna have to stow away and use a hang glider ala 2k7.

**Jester** · 05-03-2011, 07:22 PM

Will I have to take any ninja tests? Like having 15 seconds to remove as many bells as I can from a dummy with out making a sound?

*Donnie* · 05-03-2011, 07:24 PM

I'm in!

But, I guess, "anything you wanna do, do it."
