Argh. We be in agreement. I have already taken my parrot out of my hidey-hole. The critter was guarding my treasure, see...

We're totally having a party with a double (or triple, if we can get another game board) game of Pirate's Cove. My son has a treasure chest toy box that we're going to use to house Grape Grog and Root Rum and we'll eat Chips! Ahoy and Marshmallow Matey's cereal. Oh, and my sister is going to bring her parrots, Phoenix and Lucy. Yeah, we have the big plans.

Yesterday I wrote on my whiteboard at work "Sept 19 is Talk Like a Pirate Day!" There have been two main types of reactions. Some people walk by and say "Yarrr!" to which I politely reply "You're early." Other people stop and ask "Why is it TLAPD?" or "Is it really?"
It's depressing that so many people seem to think Hallmark is the only one who gets to create "real" holidays.

The DJ's on our local radio station were sure having fun with this today on my way to work. Nothing like three guys in a sound booth all talking "pirate" LOL

Aye, 'twas an olde joke when I stole it, and it ain't gotten any fresher since!
The piracy of the jest itself aside, a Rofl from Dan_seagull be somethin' to be proud of indeed. I'll stick it in me hat, by the salty bilge-rat, and tie it down with a strand of seaweed.

Haha well it's National Nude Day here in New Zealand. I wonder if there were any nude people talking like pirates today......
Edit: Well they are calling it World Nude Day now but I'm not sure whether it's actually caught on anywhere else yet..... Lol. (http://www.worldnudeday.com/index.sm)

Prepare t' board the Straight Talk Express an' take no prisoners! Shiver me timbers an' set yer sights here, smartly now:
What: Phone calling party to help Obama Host: LINDA C—fellow MoveOn member Where: Federal Heights (in Salt Lake City) When: Sunday, Sep. 21, 2008, at 3:00 PM

Me little buccaneers be wantin' me to share a pirate ship song from those scurvy dogs, The Wiggles. (I be noticin' that tune is a might bit similar to "The Big Ship Sails (Ally-ally-o)", but I don't know whether that be intentional or not. Arrr.)
