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!

LOL!!!

[LongElegantLegs]

I retook the name test (Haven't taken it since last year), looks like I have a new name...

My pirate name is:

Calico Bess Cash

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

My pirate name is:

Bloody Mary Rackham

Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it's the open sea. For others (the masochists), it's the food. For you, it's definitely the fighting. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

AARRRGH, Thanks for the pirate ping.

[JimWforBush]

My pirate name is:

Dread Pirate Flint

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

"We are the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!
We just stay home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything,
we'll just tell you ..."
Larry: "We don't do anything!"

Pa: "Well, I've never been Greenland,
and I've never been to Denver,
andI've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul,
and I've never been to Moscow and I've never been to Tampa,
and I've never been to Boston in the fall."

All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!
We just stay home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything, we'll just tell you .."

Mr. Lunt: "We don't do anything.
And I never hoist the mainstay
and I neverswab the poop deck,
and I never veer to starboard 'cuz I never sail at all,
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned a parrot,
and I've never been to Boston in the fall."

All: "'Cuz we're the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything!
We just stay at home and lie around.
And if you ask us to do anything,
we'll just tell you .. We don't do anything!"

Larry: "Well, I've never plucked a rooster
and I'm not too good at ping-pong,
and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall,
and I've never kissed a chipmunk
and I've never gotten head lice,
and I've never been to Boston in the fall!"

Pa: "Huh? What are you talking about? What's a rooster and mashed potatoes have to do with being a pirate??"
Mr. Lunt: "Hey, that's right! We're supposed to sing about pirate-y things!"
Larry: "Oh ..."
Pa: "And who ever kissed a chipmunk? That's just nonsense! Why even bring it up? Am I right? What do you think?"
Mr. Lunt: "I think you look like Cap'n Crunch!"
Pa: "Huh? No I don't!"
Mr. Lunt: "Do too."
Pa: "Do not!"
Mr. Lunt: "You're making me hungry."
Pa: "That's it, you're walkin' the plank!"
Mr. Lunt: "Says who?"
Pa: "Says the captain, that's who!"
Mr. Lunt: "Oh, yeah? Aye aye, Cap'n Crunch!"

Larry: "And I've never licked a spark plug
and I've never sniffed a stink bug,
and I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball,
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings ..."

Pa: "You just don't get it!"

All: "And we've never been to Boston in the fall!"

Aaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[ValerieUSA]

Yes, it is by Moran.

[Mad Dawgg]

My pirate name is:

Dread Pirate Kidd

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

[PaulaB]

My pirate name is:

Black Mary Rackham

Like anyone confronted with the harshness of robbery on the high seas, you can be pessimistic at times. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

[N8VTXNinWV]

Ahoy! Thur matie!

[LongElegantLegs]

Whoa! If I have to go that far out of my age group for a pirate, I'll take Vasco Rodriguez from Shogun!

[fqued]

My Pirate name:

IRON TOM FLINT

and the commentary:
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since youR a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped.

aaarr, that'll do, matey.

[Not A Snowbird]

My pirate name is:

Captain Mary Cash

Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!
