Totally kewl. Makes want to flip out and kill people really hard.

[Cady Goldfield]

Don't forget that when ninjas (which are mammals) are not totally flipping out and killing people, they are usually flying and throwing ninja stars. They are totally awesome.

No wonder they are an inspiration for holiday cookies.

Run, run, run, as fast as you can; you can't catch me 'cause you have a friggin' shaken in your head.

[Cady Goldfield]

I know you meant "shuriken," and that was pretty damn funny.

[Soulend]

I was under the impression that a "shuriken" was a straight dart, while "shaken" are the star-shaped ones. Or are you just funnin' me Cady?

Nah.... a "shaken" is what you are if you are not stirred.....

Actually, shaken (shah-ken) is Japanese for car insurance...

David can say "shaken" if he wants.
Sure he can.

Just doesn't sound right when I sing "She was hira shuriken, whoa oh oh whoa, snappin' her fingers...that girl was hira shuriken..."

[Cady Goldfield]

Yeah, yeah, so I was thinkin' <i>hira shuriken</i>, okay??

But <i>shaken</i> fit the rhyme better anyway.
