Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

"It's got to be the hair, Cotton. It's beautiful! Feathered and lethal. You just don't see it nowadays." Pepper Brooks - Dodgeball

If the bastard spawn of an elf and a dwarf is a dwelf, than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?

Pirinja. Cutlana.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

arby, conversely, Merchanter's Luck is terse and relatively short. If you like dense and plotty, go Downbelow Station first. But if you're not sure you're going to like the 'verse, Luck might be a good appetiser.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

than what do we call the lovechild of a ninja and a pirate? And would he prefer the cutlass or the katana?

There would come a time in the child's life when he or she would have to choose one way, and either follow the pirate path, or that of the ninja. Much like how Spock had to choose the human or the Vulcan way as a child.

cutlass or the katana?

Cutana? Katlass? If they can mix animals, why not weapons?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Both of which sound like pirate-ninja girl names.

Yeah. I kind of like them. Katlass almost seem Scottish. Scottish-pirate-ninja.

And plenty of time to be both a pirate and a ninja.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

Look what I've started. How about a free-for all fight to the death between pirates, ninajs, dwarves, elves, cavemen, astronauts, and cowboys?
