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!

The Black Swan was the name of a ship. I guess you will have to go back to swabbing the deck.

Arrr.. the booty is well hidden and guarded by sharks and the ghosts of buccaneers!
Either that or my cat is chewing on my hand and my skull is taking up an armed revolt.

Mad Mary Vane here, is it just me or did Johnny Depp seem like more of a swishbuckler than a swashbuckler in Pirates of the Caribbean??
