Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Vizth Hal - 02-20-2010 http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100219/od_nm/us_taiwan_ninja Quote:TAIPEI (Reuters) – Waitresses wield swords and flare flames at diners, who have to get past a moat before sitting at their table in the dimly lit dining hall. RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Twilla - 02-20-2010 Sounds like fun but like a disaster in the making. Somebody's got a good chance of getting burned and then suing the place. RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - ralgith - 02-20-2010 I already shot poor Vizzy down in IM by pointing out that Ninja were Japanese Assassins... Not Chinese (Taiwan is Chinese peopled, in fact they call themselves the Republic of China). Oh well. Just like a "Chinese Buffet" isn't authentic Chinese food, I'll let this slide as well RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Twilla - 02-20-2010 It said it's a "Japanese-style" restaurant... I'm pretty sure other countries are allowed to eat food outside of their own ethnicity. RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - ralgith - 02-20-2010 So? Its still a misrepresentation But I said I'd let it slide, didn't I? lol RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Twilla - 02-20-2010 How is that a misrepresentation? Would you say that if someone named a similar restaurant that in your area of the US? RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Black Sun - 02-20-2010 I don't see a problem with calling a chinese restaurant "ninja". It's better than calling it "triad" or "tong".

Now let it go RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Twilla - 02-20-2010 Oh, I see... you want someone to reanimate real Japanese ninjas to work in the restaurant. Got it. Having zombies working in a restaurant might not pass the health code though. RE: Service at sword point at "Ninja" restaurant - Twitchin Kitten - 02-20-2010 Vizzy, don't listen to Dylan. He's a geek bully. The last sentence you quoted explains enough. Quote:Ninjas were mercenaries who resorted to unusual warfare strategies such as espionage, sabotage and assassination from as far back as 700 years ago in feudal Japan. They remain a common, enduring theme in Japanese folklore. |
