Talk Like a Pirate Day
Ahoy, maties. As most of ye likely know, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So put on your eye-patch, pour yourself a pint of grog and drop anchor at http://www.talklikeapirate.com/howto.html to learn more about talking like a proper pirate.
Also, well-known landlubber, Dave Barry, wrote about this seafaring event. An excerpt below:
To prepare for Talk Like a Pirate Day, you should practice incorporating pirate terminology into your everyday speech. For example, let’s consider a typical conversation between two co-workers in a business office:
BOB: Hi. Mary.
MARY: Hi, Bob. Have you had a chance to look at the Fennerman contract?
BOB: Yes, and I have some suggestions.
MARY: OK, I’ll review them.
Now let’s see how this same conversation would sound on Talk Like a Pirate Day:
BOB: Avast, me beauty.
MARY: Avast, Bob. Is that a yardarm in your doubloons, or are you just glad to see me?
BOB: You are giving me the desire to haul some keel.
MARY: Arrrrr.
Shiver me timbers, me hearties.
