PanCakeMan, there was some discussion of making it go all weekend, since the 19th fell on a Friday! Of course, that’s an excuse to throw a party, but that’s what these kinds of holidays are for anyway.

We totally set up a talk like a pirate thread on my website’s forum. Good times.

Is it stupid? Yes. But who cares? It’s fun!

This smells of venganza.org and their Pirate obsession, trying to make fun of us Christians.

Stupid Darwinists. Go crawl back in your monkey cave

Yarr! Talk Like a Pirate Day do be coming from these gents: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/ and ’twas made infamous when the salty cur Dave Barrrrrrrrrry gave mention of them in his writings.

(And for those that would dismiss it as a lame fad, I grew up in California, but this was hardly Hollywood’s doing. For a long while this was an underground geek thing to do, not exactly “cool”, then the Pirates of the Caribbean movies came out, and pirates were suddenly in. Go figure. Mostly though, then, as now, it’s just good, somewhat crusty fun if you have some suitably goofy and creative friends. Linguistic inventiveness and a overflow of rrrrrr’s is a must.)

@Gail Pink: Have ye seen Stardust? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQKrgi2PMz8

Talk Like a Pirate Day comes from Dave Barry’s book a few years back… wiki it, scallywags.

@Gail Pink - That would be Elton John.

Slurs against lifestyles/sexual preferences aside, ‘talking like a pirate’ is an invention of hollywood.
Look it up.

You might as well have talk like an Ewok day.

Yub yub!

Where I live (in south west england) you here pirate-y accents on the streets quite often–the birthplace of the assumed pirate accent (must be the seafaring historic, insular thing). My electrician sounded like a pirate too and even owned a parrot.
