Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day

[jfellrath]

Heh... my wife bought my son (22 months old) a pirate book for me to read to him (since my pirate voice is better than hers), and he pretty much IMMEDIATELY picked up on saying "Arrrr..." like a pirate.

So I can only imagine how confused the poor ladies at his day care were yesterday when he came in saying "Arrr..." all day. Because, lord knows, I started him out on that path yesterday with a lot of pirate talk before leaving for work, and he was still doing it when we picked him up.

A day late and a doubloon short, but I be here now.
An' seein' as no one's mentioned it yet, Sherry's pirate name link.

Bilgewash! I spent the whole day helpin' me Mum get underway on her voyage to Arrrkansas (She's got kin there) and missed the whole thing. Still, here's a link to a useful pyratey resource, the Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue. That way yer can study up fer next year.
