Hey all!
This monumental and awesome day is just around the corner! So I was wondering who all plans on adhereing to the holidy? Anyone have any fun stories of past Pirate days?
As far as stories for me, a group of friends and I hoisted the jolly roger from a car, and went "sailing" around, blasting pirate music... It was awesome.
And for those of you that don't know about this amazing day, here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_like_a_pirate_day) 's some info!

Wow... and I didn't think the world could get much weirder! (I just learned about this pirate vs ninja thing on the internet on Sunday, by the conservative parent of a friend. I'm a little behind.)
No pirate stories here... but I can make one right now... ARRRGH Scurvy Florida Gators...
Scurvy is a bad name in pirate talk, right?

True story -
My boss loves Pirate Day and talks to me in a pirate speak growl most of the day, until his voice gives out.
2 Halloweens ago he asked the staff to have a pirate dress theme. I make a terrible pirate.
I am going to wear a pirate hat to all of my television classes Tuesday! I am so excited.

A barrrrell of fun could be had with a Pirate's version of Just Shoot Me
Pistols for some
Daggerrrr pistols for otherrrs
Then of course there is the blunderbuss if you want to go overboard.
Added features would be flashes of sworrrrd play mingled with avast, arrrr, take that, and ow - before the scabbarrrds work theirrrr wonder.
The show would be something the whole family would want to sea and could parrrrot and rrrrrepeat the lines and action 'til they were pegged with a, 'if you say that one morrrre time, you will have to walk the plank.'
It would be a really big shewww
Eye'm just tryin' to patch somethin' in 'ere for this 'ere day, mate.

This is the song I used to listen to while doing my work.
"Talk Like a Pirate Day" by Tom Smith
Most days are like all of the others,
Go to work, come back home, watch TV,
But, brother, if I had me druthers,
I'd chuck it and head out to sea,
For I dream of the skull and the crossbones,
I dream of the great day to come,
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade my computer for rum! ARRR!
T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches God gave us for wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price to pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed. Yo ho ....
- Anyone see my keys?
- Just off the coast o' Florida, matey! ARRR!
Don't pick up yer phone and say "Hello,
Your ten-o-clock meeting's delayed",
Ye scrunch up yer face and ye bellow,
"AVAST! Ye've been bleedin' BELAYED!"
Ye can't keep this fun to yourself, I bet,
So sing "Aye", "ARRR", and "Ayy", every man!
We ain't got much grasp of the alphabet,
But a $@#$@#$@#$@# good retirement plan! (raucous laughter)
T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Whatever's in fashion is in for a thrashin'
And bein' polite is passe!
When it's ev'ry man's duty to grab his proud beauty
And let out a hearty YO HO!
And if this offends you, hold your breath as we sends
you
Ta Davy Jones' Locker ya go!
- Where IS Davy Jones' Locker, anyway?
- Right near Monkee Island! Arr, aye, arr....
We'll tell every banker "Heave to and weigh anchor!"
Buy latte with pieces of eight
We'll fight to be chosen as cap'n or bosun
The loser, o' course, is worst mate!
When we hoist Jolly Roger the landlubbers dodge 'er,
We fill 'em with loathing and fear,
We'll plunder and pillage each city and village,
Or at least clean out Wal-Mart of beer!
- Ahoy, mateys! And Welcome ta "Iron Chef Pirate!"
Let's see the secret ingredient!
<GONNNG It's Barnacles!
- Oh ho! There'll be some cutting-edge cuisine!
- "AWK! AWK!" <bzzzzzz
- Hold still, Polly! I need this for me salad!
- Avast there, me bucko! Ye need CARROT shavings! CARROT!
- But Captain, I be on Atkins!
- Moron...
- And you! WHAT are ye doin' with that salmon?
- I'm grillin' it on a hunk o' cedar, what d'y'think?
- Ye CAN'T do that in a JAPANESE STIR-FRY, ye bilge rat!
- Oh HO! Ye never heard o' "wokkin' the plank"?
There ain't no computin' or morning commutin',
No "Parking Lot Full" signs for me,
No lawns ta be mowin' or bills to be owin',
I'm knowin' the pull of the sea.
The fresh salty brace of the wind on my face
Through hurricane, sunshine or squalls,
I'm keepin' my eyes on the distant horizon,
Verizon can hold all my calls!
To wear a red coat full o' buckles,
To earn a few duelling scars,
Well, at least we can get a few chuckles
By filling the office with ARRRs!
And maybe we'll never get closer,
Than watchin' 'em on the big screen,
So here's to old Errol and Depp as Jack Sparrow,
And every $@#$@#$@#$@# one in between!
T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
That time in September when sea dogs remember
That grown-ups still know how ta play!
When wenches are curvy and dogs are all scurvy
And a soft-wear patch covers your eye,
Ta hell with our jobs, for one day we're all swabs
And buccaneers all till we die!
So hoist up the mainsails and shut down your brain cells,
They only would get in the way,
Avast there, me hearty, we're havin' a party,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
Yo Ho!

Yarr.... Today be a good day, with a good hearty amount of plundar and booty to be had...
So this pirate walks into a bar, and sits down at the bar.
The bartender looks down at a gigantic steering wheel stuck in the pirate's pants, and asks "hey, what's up with the steering wheel?"
The Pirate responds with "Arr.... It's drivin me nuts...."
