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.

Enigmatic== A mighty Yo Ho Ho be ye deservin for such a sour jest.
Posted by Enigmatic (Member # 7785) on :
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.

Have ye heard the scum thar bilge rat John McCain's been slingin' at me matey Barack? Bad news, 'tis. But a band o' pirates ken surely blow the man down. Come 'n' raise a cup o' grog this Sunday at "MoveOn for Obama" parties and we'll call every MoveOn lubber in t' swing states an' tell 'em how t' help Obama this fortnight. Aye?
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

This be my favorite pirate song ever!
Barrett's Privateers (If ye've never heard it, be warned, there be some language, yarr.)
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.)
