The votes are in! For my folklore project, I will be studying the tremendous popularity of the pirate/ninja faceoff.

 

And thus, I will need your help again in the near future.  In the next week or two I’ll be putting together a survey that I’ll post up here, which will ask things about the Great Millenial Debate.  Want to help Amelia earn her folklore certificate? Then keep an eye out for the survey, and fill it out!

 

Aside from the help on here—thanks, dudes!—I was encouraged by a conversation with my professor, who I also asked because I honestly could not decide.

 

AMELIA: So, I really can’t decide, and want to do both of these.  What do you think of MST3k fandom?

PROFESSOR: Kinda cool, but you’d have to be careful that you studied the fans and not the show itself.

AMELIA: That’s a given. And my second possible topic is Pirates Versus Ninjas.

PROFESSOR: What?

AMELIA: You know, the big debate that’s been going around for years?

PROFESSOR: Really? This is a big thing? People talk about this?

SOME GIRL #1: (suddenly zeroing in on us) Are you kidding?!  It’s huge! It’s a Facebook thing!

AMELIA: Among other things.

SOME GIRL #2: My sister’s in the pirate group at her school!

SOME GIRL #1: You’ve got to pick a side, you know.

PROFESSOR: (getting that manic gleam in his eye) What’s the debate, then?

AMELIA: You know, which is cooler …

SOME GIRL #1: Or who would win in a fight!

PROFESSOR: If you can find enough information on it, then go for it.

AMELIA: If I can find enough information?  Dude, just you wait.

 

Now I must make good on my promise! Keep an eye out for that entry.
