| − | Everyone has been asking about these little buggers. They are the network variety of the Ninja. They sometimes appear on the Netninja.com pages, they have shown up here and there at several different DefCons, they are just plain odd. The Net Ninjas used to be found in select gum-ball machines at select stores--they were quite difficult to find, but Ralphs in Southern California was the best place. At the time, they cost $0.25 each, are three dimentional molded plastic, and stand about 3 cm high. There are even rumored to be Net Ninja twice the height (for twice the cost) that have a very anatomically incorrect hole in their rear, apparantly to be used as some sick pencil topper. While the originals were difficult to come by, the "next generation" ninjas are translucent plastic and easily obtainable from The Oriental Trading Company. Once you have a few in your hand, they are quite addicting to play with! (Really! You would be surprised!) For the "bakers," they make cool "trip toys." For the artists, they are stationary human models to sketch. For the people who play Warhammer (and other "miniature" games), they can be painted and detailed. For the pyromaniacs they melt under a Zippo flame. For the electrical engineers, they make good insulators. For the violent, they can hurt people if shot with enough speed from a slingshot or wrist-rocket. For the astronauts, they can (supposedly) survive trips as payload in certain Estes model rockets. For the starving, they can be eaten (although they have no known nutritional value, and may be quite painful upon exiting your body). For the serial killers, they can be used as a "calling card." For the psychotics and cannibals, their heads are easily removable by utilizing wire cutters. For the late-night Denny's dwellers, they make great tips (maybe not in the eyes of the waitress, but in the eyes of your companions, it's a laugh riot!).

| − | These were the days when the alcohol flowed free, the music played loud, and the bullshit-o-meter was constantly pegged at maximum. (Now, this is not to say that those days are long gone. We McFreaks have always been, and will always be, like that.) It was during these days that being "outside" was an "inside joke," that anything could be disabled or broken by pressing the big blue button labeled solely by a picture of a boot (assuming you could ever find this button), and wrist-mounted flame throwers were a hip thing. It was also the time we learned of The Ninja.
