The Awesomeness that is Ninjas - Part I

Ninjas! Ninjas! Ninjas!

This week's Super Happy Fun Time is the first of a four week series about the awesomeness of Ninjas.

The Ninja phenomenom began one day in the Spring of 2007 when yours truly came across a flyer for Tiny Ninja Theater being performed at the Kennedy Center in a Starbucks in downtown DC. I was working in an immigration law practice and we were taking an afternoon coffee break (yes, coffee breaks are billable). But since I don't drink coffee (because coffee is evil, just like robots) I was browsing through the random brochure stand and was confronted with the following picture:



This one little picture became a source of hours of entertainment, but first it generate tons of questions. I mean do they actually use little action figures to do Shakespeare? Do they move them around on a stage while speaking? Are they ever actually in people's mouths and why is this dude doing a Mr. Ed impression?


Luckily, Tiny Ninja Theater had a wonderful website that helped us to answer some of these queries. It also helped us waste time while at work with the Tiny Ninja Theater Production Studio - where you can create your very own Ninja scenes with a variety of backgrounds.

SIDENOTE - if your greencard didn't get processed last year, sorry, but Ninjas are always our first priority.

I will always regret that I wasn't able to attend the tiny ninja theater here in DC. To this day my obsession with Ninjas has continued to spiral out of control . The next 3 postings will chronicle the progression of this newly identified mental illness. This disease has yet to be named, suggestions are welcome.
