Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Talk Like a Pirate Day only comes once a year (on September 19th), this year it falls on a Monday. On talk like a pirate day, everyone talks as if they were a pirate. For instance, instead of saying something like this:
The commitee has decided to reallocate your time to the filing group. We look forward to the exciting new synergies between these departments.
You would say this:
Aye matey, those scalawags in their fine breeches want ye' to move o'er with the scurvy dogs yonder. If ye' don't come back with some fine booty, we be keelhaulin' you next morn!
If you're not ready yet, you can learn more about this international holiday on the AboutPirateDay page or practice some phrases from the PiratePhrases page. After all, you don't want to be handed the BlackSpot when the holiday is over!
Wow...That's kind of creepy. 0.o Googling it brings up a bunch of non-family oriented sites...
AAArrggghhh!

And now for a preview of our coming attractions…
Man Ho! Productions presents:
Eric Johns and Chuck U. Farley
In the south seas saga
“BUGGERY ON THE HIGH SEAS”
Captain: “Hoist that scurvy dog from the yardarm!”
Sailor: “Aye, Captain!”
Captain: “Yeoman Bosuns”
Yeoman: “Sir!”
Captain: “Read the charges.”
Yeoman: “Aye Captain! Seaman Kelly! You have been charged with the heinous crime of buggery on the high seas. How do you plead?”
Kelly: (Whimpering) “I’m innocent, I’m innocent, you gotta believe me.”
Accuser: (Effeminate sounding) “He’s lying.”
Kelly: “I am not!!!”
Accuser: “You are so you big fibber!!”
Kelly: “You better watch out or I’m gonna get you.”
Accuser: “You already did, that’s why you’re in trouble now.”
Captain: “SHUT UP!!”
Accuser: “But he’s a big fibber, he’s lying!!”
Captain: “Shut up or you’ll get what he’s getting.”
Accuser: “And what’s that?”
Captain: “Fifty lashes with a cat-o-nine-tails!”
Accuser: “FIFTY LASHES?!! He should get at least a hundred for what he did to me, the big fibber, you liar liar liar.”
Captain: “Hoist that scurvy dog from the yardarm!”
Accuser: “Ow!!! You’re hurting my wrists!!! Hey this isn’t funny now you guys” (Sound of cloth being torn) “Oh, rip the shirt, how cliché. I suppose you’ll have me walk the plank next of something.”
Captain: “Take that you DOG!!!” (Sound of whip)
Accuser (after each lashing): “Ow! Oh! Oooh! Oh yeah!! Yeah, yeah!!” (Fade out)
That is our show for the evening. Please leave by the exit and don’t forget the speakers.
Ha ha ha! Sounds like a monty Python bit!
Tis time to walk the Hardie Plank!
