Grams: Arr! Hello, there and welcome aboard. It is raining Doglefoxes and Kadoaties out there! I’m Grams, this is Boyd and we are happy to welcome you to another episode of Grams and Boyd! Today, we join in the age old debate Pirates vs Ninjas. I've chosen my side and Boyd has too, right?
Boyd: That's right! I'll be sneaking some of my favourite stealthy and ninja items into the list and Grams will bring all the buried treasure she can carry so let's get to it!
Grams: Aye, landlubber, full sail ahead.

(no peg legs in the bouncy ship!)
Inflatable Bouncy Pirate Ship – Grams chose. Pirates!
Grams: If your sealegs aren't quite what they used to be you may want to practice in the comfort of your own Neohome on this inflatable pirate ship. And now I miss customizing my Neohome.
Pirates vs. Ninjas: The Novel – Boyd chose. Ninjas!
Boyd: I obviously had to start out with the book and clearly it's been popular considering the inflation it's seen last year! I would personally love to read a good Pirates vs Ninjas story and I'm guessing you would too or you wouldn't be here! Maybe my next story should be a stealthy, swashbuckling adventure in honour of this book!
Scurvy Pirate Jacket – Grams chose. Neocash. Pirates!
Grams: Maybe some pirates like to look fearsome but I reckon a few like to be more fashionable. If that sounds like you then maybe you'd prefer something like this dashing looking jacket. I didn't check to see if it's still active in the mall but I'm sure a friendly Neopian would be happy to trade you for it if not.
Frozen Leaf Shuriken – Boyd chose. Ninjas!
Boyd: This is the coolest (coldest?) weapon I've ever seen. Ninjas are famous for their shuriken and having a frozen leaf as one is just both so charming and threatening! This seems like something Taelia would have? Maybe she's got secret ninja training we've never heard about!
Yellow Krawk Plushie – Grams chose. Pirates!
Grams: Krawks have always been one of my favourite Neopet species and even the toughest pirates need someone to snuggle with. This plushie is perfect for those long, lonely voyages across the sea. This was a coincidence but Boyd pointed out that yellow is his favourite colour and I just so happened to think this one was the cutest of the plushies. Just the little things in life.
- Boyd: Okay, so we are halfway through our list! I personally think I've brought quite the surprise attack to our debate but we'll see how it balances out in the end!
Grams: We'll see how well you balance as you walk the plank you mean.
Boyd: Ha! Don't think it's going to be that easy, I've got some really great items coming up in the second half! Then again, I'm sure there's something up your ruffled sleeves...
Grams: You've got that right, I've got a treasure that I can barely keep hidden with my excitement.
Boyd: Speaking of excitement, are you excited for the new year?
Grams: I really am. I think it's going to be good for all of us if we stay positive.
Boyd: That's a great mindset, Grams, I feel the same way. Do you have any goals or resolutions on the site this year?
Grams: I haven't really thought about it but I'd like to get my battledome trainee, Ozlotl, to a certain level and I've been thinking of starting a new gallery. What about you?
Boyd: Aww, I'm sad to see the gnomes go. I'd like to get some more avatars and maybe a couple more pets since I got all the pet slots!
Grams: You already have an excessive amount of pets and this intermission has been excessively long. Let's get back to it.
-
Silver Sai – Boyd chose. Ninjas!
Boyd: Okay, so not only are sai the coolest weapon in existence but also my first ever gallery was dedicated to the Wonderous Weaponry of Shenkuu! I remember when Shenkuu was discovered and I was so, SO excited for another beautiful ninja world as Mystery Island has always been my favourite!
Pirate Captains Cutlass – Grams chose. Pirates!
Grams: A weapon so legendary that the Faerie Queen herself keeps it in the Hidden Tower. Any pirate worth his salt has dreamed of wielding this special sword as he sailed the high seas.
Mystery Island Training Academy Garden Background - Boyd chose. Neocash. Ninjas!
Boyd: If your stealth skills aren't quite up to snuff then maybe you need a little extra training time on Mystery Island!! I can just imagine how peaceful it would be to meditate in the gardens of Mystery Island, the scent of flowers in your nose and the chirps of tropical petpets in your ears. Speaking of petpets, our last two choices are our favourite petpets of the respective Pirate and Ninja (Stealthy) colours!
Pirate Mazzew – Grams chose. Pirates!
Grams: Well well, look at this tough little guy. He looks like he'd be a worthy companion on your travels and wouldn't shy away from swabbing the deck which is more than I can say my pets do for me.
Stealthy Angelpuss – Boyd chose. Ninjas!
Boyd: What a cute little warrior! I've always loved Angelpi and this little one looks like they'd be happy to sit on your shoulder or watch your back either way!
-
Grams: Well, I think the result is obvious. Pirates are clearly superior.
Boyd: Woah, woah, woah! It's supposed to be for the audience to decide who made the better case!
Grams: Yeah, but I clearly made the better case because pirates are awesome. Maybe you need to go back to the Training School?
Boyd: At least I'm in the Training School! You're still dusting the sand off dubloons!
Grams: Now, is that any way to speak to your grandmother? Honestly, what do they teach you on that Island? It's a Mystery to me.
Boyd: Well you definitely win the pun war. Alright, well, I hope we helped you guys settle the age long debate and you had a good time doing it! Keep your chin up and best of luck out there!
