Hey, Wake Up! It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!

[Servant King]

Alright, Talk Like A Pirate Day will be walking the plank in less than two hours. September 20 is International Gibberish Day, so I leave you all with some words from the late George Carlin: "Nik Flot Blarney Cuando Floon!" ?

Yeah, as in making us believe your natural eye is glass.

Nope, had the first one crafted in 2009 after the accident destroyed my right eye and most of my teeth. It was free after I met my insurance deductible from the surgery to remove the damaged eye. Had it replaced in 2017 and will probably have to do it again in 2025. I mainly smoke on the left side so I can see what I'm doing.

Yikes. Yeah, I was wondering whether you were being jocular. Wishing you were joking too. I just had trouble believing so much bad mojo has happened to you. ??

You mean MSM newscasters actually have their own day?

I wish they didn't come to work for at least that one day in the year, but they're surely dedicated.

I take it in stride. Must mean good things await me in the hereafter. It is fun messing with people that don't know about the eye though.?

Dr. Samuel Johnson's view of pirates from his universally famous 1755 Dictionary.

Pirate 1: A fea robber.

Pirate 2: Any robber, particularly a bookfeller who fiezes the copies of other men.

To Pirate 1: To rob by the fea.

To Pirate 2: To take by robbery.

Piratical: Predatory, robbing, confifting of robbing.

A pretty nasty breed of man by all accounts

Regards,

Jay.
