Krazy Kar Rally

Fact: if you stay in Japan long enough, you will become a ninja.

It happened to us last month when we attacked the south of Fukui for a second time, this time more successfully than we did as pirates. (Evidence for ninjas in the controversial "if pirates and ninjas fought, who would win" debate.)

This time around, our method was slow determination and thoroughness. And though we were the last team to reach the finish line, we... DUH DUH DUHHHHH.... won the trophy! That's right! The glory is ours! Ninjas forever!!!

Team Ninja. We decided to adopt Spice Girl-like titles, so here we have: Red Ninja, Fashion Ninja, Katsudon Ninja, Craft Ninja, Snow Ninja, and Gentleman Ninja. We're dorks.

The original gang. Note the plus two-ness of above team. Yuki's driving skills and Hudson's... redness... certainly helped lead us to victory.

Hudson battles Chris with his homemade nunchucks. Chris tries to intimidate Hudson with his homemade... nevermind.

A rare photo of Craft Ninja before I escape back into the shadows.

The A-Team.
Bag of flour baby, a required participant in all rally photos, even the ones involving swimming.

Natto challenge. Piece o'cake. Yoga Ninja.
Probably my favorite team costume. The Super Captains of the Universe, or something like that.

Power Rangers at the conbini.

Victory!

Craft Ninja had better be careful...it looks like she is
about ready to poke her eye out with her trusty plastic sword! You didn't run with it did you? Did I teach you nothing as a child!!!

Everyone knows you can't poke out eyes with plastic swords, mom. Otherwise they never would have let it through customs in my suitcase.

Kristi, did you think I stole the trophy from the real winners for a photo op? That baby is ours!

ha ha no, not at all... I just didn't know if that was THE trophy or one of the many other prizes they give out every year. I didn't look at it too closely. Anyway, congrats again! (Who got to keep the trophy? Or are you planning a trans-Atlantic, trans-Pacific (seeing as your teammates are from three different continents) sharing system?)
