Talk Like a Pirate Day

Thu Sep 16, 2004 11:54 pm

Of all the silly unofficial holidays, this has got to be my favorite one.

Some background can be found at http://www.talklikeapirate.com. And for kids: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/juniorpirates.html

Who has heard of this "holiday" and who plans on celebrating it this year?
Unfortunately, it falls on a Sunday, so I don't get to see everyone and show off my pirate lingo. I'm expecting to use it all day though, so don't be surprised if you hear an "Aye, mateys!" slip out this Sunday!

Heh. Darn straight. That's the only holiday i even take a care of.
Because isn't it just fun to talk in piratespeak?

Yarr. Thar be a swashbuckling buccaneer over thar at port bow. Yarr.
Grog! Where is my grog! Polly!

Awww, Heather, but pirates are funnabidity in a box!

This is too cool. Unfortunately, the only pirate words/phrases I know are, "Shiver me timbers!" and "Arr, matey!" You'll have to teach me some more.

Hey, maybe that explains that music video with Johnny Depp popping out of the convertable waving. Not likely though.
Never heard of it though.

Well there is this country music video with Johnny Depp in his Captin Jack Sparrow uniform, I absolutely love that video and the song that goes with it, it's called "Girls Lie Too" by Terri Clark

Ohh! Glad to know you'll be joining us, Christopher.
I'm just really disappointed that it's on a Sunday, because the only people I see then are my family and my church... and I doubt either of them would appreciate my "yarr"s much.

People will be wondering for the following week: 'Was Chris threatening me?' or 'I think he's finally snapped'.

Never heard of it, but I'll probably be joining y'all.

On Monday, too. Because if I speak like that on Sunday, I won't annoy anyone.

I heard of this on another forum a while ago, and we all did extremely pathetic pirate impersonations
