International Talk Like a Pirate Day
- Thread starter timelord
- Start date
I like to put my seadog in her scuttlebutt, and make her shiver me timbers and batten down them hatches all over her Jolly Roger... and that my friend is how you make her walk that plank all the way down. 
Dave Barry, the Miami columnist, and some of his friends came up with this holiday. it happens to be the day I lost my late wife back in 2000, which might seem kind of cruel, but she was a big Dave Barry fan and had a lightning fast wit and a wry sense of humor, and would think the coincidence entirely droll. This day always reminds me of all of the funny and unexpected things she said. I always said she was a NASCAR qualified driver, and she never got honked at or gestured at; though she wore glasses, her peripheral vision was incredible. She knew where everyone else was. I saw some really hot drivers get out of the passenger seat with white knuckles.
I believe some women folks might get unnecessary excited by this statement.
Technically it means talk how you want day. Or in other words if you want to be real you just have to swear more. And if you say it right scallywags is a swear.
On yeah one of my favorite grandpa jokes....
A pirate captian walks into a bar and has a car steering wheel jutting out of the fly of his pants. The bar tender asks him how he has been. The captain says "aye things ave been good but me crews been driving me nuts".
So you just get stoned and walk around with a broken compass and act like Captain Jack Sparrow or in the alternate Keith Richards - sounds reasonable I suppose. Carry on bravely!
We're pirates every day in my neck of the woods!
Today is also my dad's birthday. He's 78 today. Not bad for a fellow who had a double bypass in his late 30's.
So, flow with tha grog and unleash tha wenches. Thar be things to memorialize and celebrate today!
