How To Turn Into A Ninja Overnight?

<div class="IPBDescription">make me a ninja!</div> To shorten the story (heck, we all know I usually type my posts too long anyway) my school is having a dress-down day tomorrow. Not quite halloween costume dress-up, it has to be in a certain color (for me, black). I plan on distinguishing myself from the plain black shorts & boring black t-shirt wearing masses by going as a <i>t-shirt ninja</i>.

I've already found <a href='http://www.shirtninja.com/' target='_blank'>ShirtNinja.com</a> and <a href='http://www.karber.net/ninja/guides/paper_throwing_stars.htm' target='_blank'>one tutorial for folding my own paper throwing stars</a>. And yes, I'm already fully aware of <a href='http://www.penny-arcade.com' target='_blank'>Penny Arcade's</a> cardboard tube samurai. I'm wondering how else I can get that comical attention-getting ninja look. So far I plan on taking an extra pair of socks to wave them around as if they were nunchucks.

Post ideas to turn into a ninja overnight. Only 2 rules:
Rule #1: Nothing that involves going somewhere to buy stuff.
Rule #2: Nothing dangerous enough that I could face disciplinary action. Example: socks = good, deadly functioning nunchucks made from cardboard toilet paper tubes = give us the tutorial anyway, but I won't have a use for it tomorrow.

Let the ninja schooling begin!

[edit]I just remembered I have a black bandana I can use. Just got it from a friend, no idea how to make good use of it. Post ideas for that too, if you'd like.

    if your going to use socks as nun-chucks, put a toliet paper tube or something in them to give them a little more shape.

    Okay...I'll give my thoughts, besides the obvious *your crazy as a effin nutter* one.


    The bandana? Fold in half, from the corners so you have a triangle. Tie the two ends of the triangle together, slip on face to cover nose & down. Not exactly ninja but it works.

    Paper throwing stars. You already got that.

    Sock Nunchucks...well, as someone said, use cardboard tube/toilet paper rolls to give them shape.

    Bring a pair of chopsticks to school and eat with them.

    Take a pair of sandals, an old t-shirt, socks or rags and coat the bottom of the sandals so you don't squeak as you walk.

    Memorize cryptic sayings, and call people below you Grasshopper and people above you Name-Sama.

    and bring a marble to class and ask someone to **** the marble from your hand. If they can.

    try for a fake accent, it might be viewed as insulting by some but it makes the ninja costume complete.

    Oh yeah, take a cardboard box, cut out the pattern of a wakizashi or tanto, cover where the blade would be with tinfoil, the handle with strips of black shirt, sox or rags.

    nope, toilet paper is too small.

    wrapping paper roll is best.

    or you can just get a wrapping paper roll and be cardboard tube ninja man.

    The entire purpose of the tied black bandana is to cover the face. It doesn't matter if cowboys used it, it still covers part of your face.

    Go barefoot. But first, find that really thick, rubber-like silophane stuff, and somehow get it to stick to your feet, so it looks like your barefoot, but your not.

    Wear white socks with thongs over the top. Yanks will know them as "Flip-flops".

    Crossbow depends on available elastics. Generally you'll only have crappy brown ones. Or at least thats what we had in school.

    Give me some of those fancy smaller ones and you'll get more strength. The clothespeg one can propel sharpened matches, but not far. I assure you that they hurt.

    OMG you found the site where I learned to make paper shurikens!!! h4x!!11

    Anyway if you want to make them a bit harder (after all, they are a bit frail) you might want to coat it in 1 layer of white glue+water mixture to make them a bit harder.

    As for the shoes....get a pair of sandals and sew them on some leather or any hard cloth material you can find around the house.

    But if you can't get the sandals because of the lack of resources, just get a pair of wooden flip-flops and black socks, they server the same purpose as well.

    And if you need to make paper Kunais, I can help you. In fact they're too easy to make.
    It's just too damn hard to throw <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    tie two belts together, then strap it around your body diagonally.. you know how i mean. then put like your sword [i forget the name <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->], shurikens, small fake-blades, etc in it

    red [or black] bandana around the forehead... because even though its probably not true ninja style, people will recognise from movies, and exposure and recognition is what you want most, not to teach.

    bow around to everybody, and instead of walking normally, sneak

    react immediately and overly to any sudden noises/movements. i.e something behind you goes crunch, you snap around and have your arms ready to karate-chop them! [<!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->]

    dont blink. ever. and NEVER be seen laughing. just dont laugh full stop.

    when you walk around, always have one hand resting slightly on your sword handle, sort of like a cowboy and his gun.

    you can substitute scissors for daggers, but im not sure if youll want to <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
