Your choice of menu items doesn’t really provide any valuable clues as to your gender, dear.

**NinjaChick** was not among the ninja that slew my brother. Therefore, she is safe from my wrath. You, on the other hand, are starting to push your luck.

I’m not a ninja.

These are _pyjamas_ .

Let’s drop this charade. I know you want me. I’ve seen that look you give me when you think I’m busy coming up with new sig lines.

Your whole ninja-themed quest for vengeance is obviously a cover story to get close to me.

Well, it worked. You’re kinda cute.

You start the thread by claiming I’m a man. Then you ask me to spare **NinjaChick** so you can see if she’s “Ninjalicious.” Now you’re flirting with me. I’ve heard of mixed signals before, but this is just getting ridiculous.

That is a lovely wall-mounted champagne holder, though.

Well, if you were illusive you would not exist. I think you should remain elusive. 😉

Ironic, but that I only discovered that site last night. The joke that gets stale quickly, it was just still fresh for me though.

A thousand ninja-shaped apologies, sahib.

What? What? Ninjaliciousity isn’t a sexual thing, it’s purely a flavor thing.

I only have eyes for you.

Apologies unnecessary, ninja-shaped or otherwise. I just really hate cold soup.

Ah so. **Johnny LA** , you have insulted my honor in my own flirt thread. I challenge you to ninja battle to death. \<all said in Master Splinter hoarse-rat voice\>

Hah! Arriflexes at 10m-to-infinity at f.11!

It’s quite possible that “dubiously” and my username were the only words I understood from that post.

Oh, I got “Hah!” too.

Isn’t a photograph-off kind of unfair? I mean, one of us is bound to end up with the sun at his back, or highlighting his good side…
