On the 19th of september I plan to read the morning paper which will no doubt be all about the general election held the previous weekend.


I can talk like a pirate while I'm reading it though.

Oh yeah, you guys can't even celebrate your hook- and eyepatch- and parrot-days!

Then again, who knows, maybe you're one of the only 144 000 to get the divine booty at the end of the seven seas.

I will most likely pillage. That's always been my favorite part of piracy. Plunder is nice. But it's overrated. Gets all the spotlight. There's nothing like a good pillage.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Is this thing real, or did you make it up?

Aha! This is one of my favorite holidays (second only to things like Hike Naked Day and International Mud Day). I designed them all, being Ruler of the Multiverse. There's actually a holiday every single day, although no-one's bothered to list them all. For example, I don't think you could find "Lie On The Ground And Sing Songs All Day Day" anywhere. ;)

So...you don't have a website devoted to it...and nor will your birthday be celebrated worldwide. I think that says enough.

speaking of songs o' the sea, does anyone know what you do with a drunken sailer, according to the song, aside from put him in a longboat 'till he sober, and shave his back with a rusty razor?

How does a pirate say "thank you" in Japanese?

AAAAArrrrrigato!

Pick-up Lines
Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

I needs a Scabbard for my Cutlass!

I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there.

How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted!

Avast, That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on!
