Like Ainsley, I was a little ninja wannabe about 24 years ago.

I know it’s difficult to make out because of my stealth, but I’m actually standing in the middle of that photo. Hint: between the door and the bookcase.

It was kinda dangerous as a Halloween costume, actually, and not because of the deadly weapons I was carrying. But how many actual Ninjas wear bright clothes and reflectors when they go Trick-or-treating? Probably not very many.

Previous indications of my predilection for warmongering here.
