Imagine my surprise when I turned on the radio and Lars Larson announced it was Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th. Then, when Joe Scarborough did a segment on Talk Like a Pirate Day, I realized it was more than a fluke.

TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY IS THE REAL DEAL. SEPTEMBER 19. I'll bump this ole thread to the top every year to say hi to the FRIVA pirates. (what did I learn at Friva? the main thing that sticks with me was being informed, "you are not normal". Now to me, that's a compliment!
