If a pirate, a ninja, and Batman got in a fight, who do you think would win and why? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">Batman, because nobody else has a batmobile, and he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the only one who gets words superimposed over the fights. BAM! POW!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong> 2. Who&#8217;s your favorite pirate\/ninja (in history or fiction)? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">Captain Blood, because he was dashing, could quote Horace, and was well-dressed. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t go for the rotten teeth kind of pirate.  I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve heard there is a movie remake in the works, but it will be space pirates this time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong> 3.  Along that line, who&#8217;s your favorite movie Batman? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">Christian Bale, but I also have great memories of the television series. I remember my friends and I brought bath towels to school so we could run around at recess and play Batman. For some reason I was always one of the Robins though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong>4. What would be the best thing about being a pirate\/ninja\/Batman? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">I would love to have a secret entrance to my house, and a bat phone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong>5.  Do you think there will ever be peace between pirates and ninjas?  How do you think a truce would ever come about?  Do you think Batman could negotiate the truce? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong><\/strong>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m not sure Batman could negotiate a truce, but I bet Alfred Pennyworth could.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong>6. How would you end said truce and get the feud rolling again and how would you deal with Batman if he tried to interfere? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t answer this. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on Batman\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong> 7.  If you tripped and fell into a radioactive vat of cutlasses and gold dubloons and emerged as a pirate-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">The ability to call up giant waves to get rid of pesky navy ships.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong>8.  If you stumbled a little farther to the left and fell into a radioactive vat of throwing stars and nunchucks and emerged as a ninja-themed supervillain, what would your superpower be? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">The ability to cling to ceilings and walls to improve stealth capabilities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong> 9. If you were a pirate\/ninja\/Batman and found yourself in love with the enemy (i.e. a ninja\/pirate or, say, Catwoman), how would you handle your taboo relationship? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d convince them to become a pirate\/ninja\/Batperson too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\"><strong>10. And finally, in the event of the Zombie-pocalypse, how would pirates\/ninjas\/Batman each survive? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe a Zombie-pocalyspse would ever happen, because Zombies are too stupid to take over.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\" align=\"left\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s guest blogger is fellow Tenner Dee Garretson!\u00c2\u00a0 Dee&#8217;s MG novel, Escape from Camp David, tells the story of the president&#8217;s son and two friends getting stuck in Camp David during a disaster.\u00c2\u00a0 With their bodyguards and secret service men suddenly out of the picture, the kids have to survive on their own and outwit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"views":260,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=184"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184\/revisions\/186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chelseamcampbell.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
