'tis international talk like a pirate day (September 19th)!

Now, me beauties and bilgerats, best prepare to be speakin' proper lest ye walk the plank!

TheIT · Sep 19, 2006

ARRRGGH!

Diana Hignutt · Sep 19, 2006

It's walkin' the plank for you, matey!

Yo ho! The pirates be out in force on campus today!

I be orderin' one o' me messmates to "Belay that music downloadin' and come be a pirate!" And he said "Yar, I be a music pirate!"

... erm...

argh?

Saanen · Sep 19, 2006

Arrr, if I'd only remembered I'd have brightened the day of many a lubber on the phone at work today.

"Avast, John, there be a call for ye on line one, ye bilgerat."

Writers Notes...
The pirate consonant:

ARRRRRRRR!

The pirate vowel:

Aye!

poetinahat · Sep 19, 2006

YARrrrrrrr!

Your pirate name is:

Red Tom Rackham

Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. 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!

Vincent · Sep 19, 2006

Your pirate name is:

Dirty William Flint

You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Red Anne Read

Passion is a big part of your life, which makes sense for a pirate. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education. Arr!

I know I be late, but I had to say, ye've got t' watch yer self on th' open sea!

It's true what they be saying, lads an' lassies!

Thar is a ship, wit blood red sails! The ship it'self is black as night and the crew be blacker.

They crave th' blood o' th' livin'. It true!

Beware! It's dreaded cap'n would feast upon ye rather then look at ye.

Thar is one hope. Pray that the boy pirate with red hair, sharp fangs and a smirk of mischief is on board that evil ship. He would save you like he saved me.

You'll know 'em well enough. He be th' one who can turn into a bat!

For me SoCal hearties, don' forget tha Pirate Fair in Ojai this weekend (Sept 23-24). I'll be thar...

Jack_Roberts · Sep 20, 2006

Hey Ordinary,

I'm trying to picture you with a pirate mask and hat.

Pretty funny!

Popeyesays · Sep 20, 2006

I tried to use the HTML from the pirate site, but it doesn't show up as such.

well... no pirate pictures on hand (at the moment), but here's a privateer pic:

I miss talking like a pirate...

allion · Sep 20, 2006

For once, I have a name I like:

Captain Mary Flint - Even though there's no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you're the one in charge. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

I called my boss in his office and said:

"ARRRRR!!!! I be declaring this be 'talk like a pirate day' matey! If you be wantin an'tin you be asking proper or ye not be gettin what ye want!"

He replied:

"I don't understand what you're saying but keep it up and I'll be keelhaulin your position and send your booty to the bottom of the sea."

Damned bosses.

Of course, I got into it with a lady from another agency who called for information and *really* got into the pirate day. I could *hear* the grin as she decided to celebrate with her unsuspecting coworkers.

Today became "Talk like an extra from "Drop Dead Gorgeous/Fargo" day". Sometimes having a twisted sense of humor can be fun.

Rabe...

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr!

Looking fancy Ordinary_Guy!

Why can't it be "Talk Like A Vampire Day"?

That's what my muse wants.

*hides* I didn't say it!

Talk like a vampire... DAY?

No, talk like a vampire NIGHT. (images of goth nerds in cape sceaming profusely as the sun melts them because they're talking like vampires.)
