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.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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.

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?

Both of which sound like pirate-ninja girl names.

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

Duncan Macleod did carry a katana...
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?

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Not if you raise them together as pups.
Maybe, but that's a rather expensive and exhausting under taking. You'd amazed at how much rum a pirate pup requires and then there's all the shedding from the ninja pups until they finally grow their adult coat. Little pieces of black cloth everywhere.
