Pirates and Ninjas is old and not all that funny anymore.

This is what we with pretensions of intellectual accomplishment like to refer to as "false equivalency".

Exactly. The pirate and the ninja are archetypes, rather than actual people, and so cannot be said to be equal to people.

Rum has a really weird metaphysical taste to me. It tastes sort of like desperation, resignation, pointlessness and future regret.

Currently making Possession 2, a game where you play as a ghost and possess your enemies.

Of all the different alcohols and whatnot I've tried straight-up, Vodka is my favorite, followed by various versions of whiskey. Rum, I find, is not very appealing.

As far as the proof above goes, though, I don't recall Tetra doing any actual pirating. She mostly sailed around in a ship with a bunch of lonely guys wearing raggedy clothes.

Add a bit of butt sex, and that sounds like a dictionary definition of a pirate's life.

That's the first three ingredients to a Moscow Express. Vodka chased with rum chased with whiskey chased with Jager. Fun stuff.

If we've concluded that pirates are the equivalent of ninjas then I'm sure it would be possible to conclude that cowboys are also equal to those two things. And politicians. And plumbers. In effect we can conclude that everything is essentially a pegboy.

Rum ranks quite high on my list of preferred hard alcohols. Vodka smells and tastes like nail polish remover, and Whiskey just burns. Rum has a nice combination of spice and smoothness.

But then again, I'm also the guy who likes Tequila.

Tequila is so much nicer sipper with a few ice cubes and a squeeze of Lime.

Shooting it is such a waste.

If you find that high quality vodka (Grey Goose, Belvedere, etc) smells like nail polish remover, you need to spend more time exploring its superior mixology and less time painting your nails.

But then again, you are the guy who likes Tequila...

That can be said about any spirit or indeed drink out there. Absolutely any spirit has crappy low quality and price brands, good for mixing with coke and that's about it, and nicer, more expensive brands, great for serving over ice and not making you vomit.

The only possible exception being oozo.
