Today is "International Talk Like A Pirate Day"!
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html * raises tankard * As I celebrate a day to the privateers, I also wish everyone here a happy day! (translated: As me rejoices in libation and jubilation to me fellow bretheren, me also hopes all has a most wonderful day"!) * looks around * Now where's that readhead at?! (translated: "Now where be that red-headed wench eh?!")
Every man be a fool for 10 minutes each day. The trick is not in exceedin' the time limit!
Properly warned ye be, says I! |

I WAS THERE when this "holiday" was invented! Dave Barry invented it. I read that particular column (I wish I'd saved it but I didn't know it was going to become a giant deal). Then about 3 months later Dave Barry showed up at a local bookstore to promote his new novel (Tricky Business, very good book) and he was talking about how shocked he was that everyone was taking him seriously, and how many emails he had recieved.

I'm a contractor, which is a modern synonym for "pirate." Everyday is talk like a pirate day to me

We had a pirate in the family from 1632-1684, he fought along DeGraff in some campaigns and made several attacks on spanish ports and gold ships. Died as a result of a wound he sustained in a duel with DeGraff over spoils.
