Yarr.

It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day. Therefore, I must continue this Blog in Pirate Speak.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day be a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol` Chumbucket) an’ Mark Summers (Cap`n Slappy), o’ Albany, Oregon, who proclaimed Septembree 19 each voyage as th’ tide when sea dogs an’ land lubbers in th’ world ortin’ ta talk like a swashbuckler. Fer example, an obser’er o’ this holiday would greet shipmates nay wi’ “Arrrr,” but wi’ “Ahoy, me hearty!”.

Every voyage, th’ tide be celebrated across th’ world as millions take part in th’ festivities. Today, I will drink an’ behave like a swashbuckler. Shoutin’, cursin’ an’ bein’ louder than usual. I will play “I’m on a Boat” lots, on repeat. Also, a Seafarin’ hearty Party will take place.

Talk t’ ye soon.
