Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. As Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Man never feels more alive than when he is talking like a pirate.” I’m going to celebrate by playing Monkey Island Special Edition. What are you doing to commemorate the day?
Oh, and “Arrrrrrrrr!”
I’m going to say “well, blow me down!” a lot.
Can anyone explain what the hell happened here today?
Well, shiver me timbers.
I’m goin’ ta run me cutlass ‘tween the ribs of any landlubber that tries to talk like a pirate.
I don’t speak Somali, so I’m just going to hang some libs by the yardarm, then make a hippie walk the plank.
Mitch Rapp
How I will Talk Like A Pirate:
Learn some words in Somali, threaten to sell illegally copied movies and music, and then recall my years playing baseball for Pittsburgh.
I’m going to run over a hippy with an Oldsmobile Cutlass.
Methinks I’ll catch four of the vermin plaguing my property, then chop a bit less than 86% off one of them and throw it out. No lengths are too long for a stupid pun.
Ahoy, I be spendin it b’tween me Jolly Roger and me buxom beauties. I be shiverin’ me timbers, if ya scalawags know what I mean… Droppin me anchor… Arrrr
OH!! I get it!!! Pi!
I wish fools would stop thinking that I am gold.
Oh wait, that’s Talk Like Iron Pyrite Day.
Arr, Thursday me lad, ye threw out the wrong part. Ye’ve kept 3.85841 vermin, ye addled bilge rat, and that not be pie at all.
A B C D E F G, H I J K L M N O AAARRRRR!!!
Now I know why Rubeus has a psycho pussy as an avatar.
Shiver me timbers, isn’t it time to hoist the Pirate in Chief with his own petard? Mayhaps we could commit him to 30 years before the mast, of course as a seaman 3 class. Give him a mop and a bucket………..wait………… never mind that’s an accident looking for a place to happen. Maybe he could just scrape off barnacles, after dealing with Acorn he should be good at that.
I’m reading ‘Nick of Time’ by Ted Bell. It’s got pirates in it. Does that count?
I heard a reference to “International Talk Like a Pirate Day” on a radio commercial this week. A HR director tells an employee that their company doesn’t recognise ITLPD as a paid holiday. He mutters, “Arrr! Me plans be scuttled!” It’s catching on!
PS. Corona,
Mind yer P’s and Q’s, ye lubber! 😉 Arrr!
PPS. Seanmahair,
Mutiny ne’er prospers, for if it prospers, none dare call it mutiny! Arrr!
ARG Matey !
Where’s Mi Parrot !
Gimme some Rum !!
Look Out, it’s the American Navy !
Arrr, me hearties!
Ye celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day wit’ a DRINK!
Yarrrr!
Perhaps I’ll tell my wife “heave to and prepare to be boarded” (if it’s not too suggestive).
Aye matey!
Will ye get far with that face paint, I wonders, matey….
Arrr, ye swabs! I got me pirate name of Iron Mary Flint at http://www.piratequiz.com/ (thanks to a link at Dave Barry’s blog here: http://blogs.herald.com/dave_barrys_blog/2009/09/countdown-to-talk-like-a-pirate-day.html ), and then I wrote something about movie pirates (The Crimson Pirate and Curse of the Black Pearl, specifically), called it “Madness or Brilliance in the Caribbean” (from a quote in Pearl), and published it at scribd.com, but I can’t link to it here because it requires Adobe Flash and that’s not on this work computer.
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me.
We’re beggars and blighters, ne’er-do-well cads,
Drink up, me ‘earties, yo ho.
Aye, but we’re loved by our mommies and dads,
Drink up me ‘earties, yo ho.
AAAARRRRRRRRRR there be hippies in need of punching. I’ll force them to walk the plank. Some plundering to do after the hippie punching matey. Shiver me timbers.
I’m sorry, but ever since Johnny Depp, pirates seem gay…the same liberal fag turned Gene Wilder’s beloved Willy Wonka into Michael Jackson.
i watched the “fatbeard” episode of southpark over 9000 times
Arrrrrr mates……I’ll be celebrating ‘Happy Intentional Talk Like a Pirate Day’ by watching my favorite pirate porno. I speak of course of the movie ‘Captain Lust’ staring Jamie Gillis, Sharon Mitchell and a cast of unknown but erstwhile actors. This 1977 porno is a classic, it’s even got a genuine pirate ship, got lots of great pirate type songs, and lots of sword play and pirate type dialog (in English not Somali). I highly recommend it to improve a dull day.
Aint no way Im talking like no dang pirate. See what happened to the last three that talked to the SEALS?
Talking like a pirate is fine, but what’s with dressing like a pirate? Saw a group of youngsters at the doughnut shop and had to explain them to my companion.
They didn’t talk like pirates, though. Which was a bit disappointing.
