Talk Like a Pirate Day (19 September)

Ooops. I missed it. Talk Like a Pirate Day was a week ago Sunday. I first learned about Talk Like a Pirate Day while listening to the radio on my morning commute to work when I lived in Baton Rouge. Unfortunately, I failed to write the date in my planner, and have, ever since, forgotten when Talk Like a Pirate Day was. Well, that, and it hasn't been marketed by Hallmark yet.

But thanks to a little googling, I came up with Dave Barry's column on Talk Like a Pirate Day from a couple of years ago. It gives some of the background.

So, I'll have to give a hearty "ARRRR!" to my mateys out there in the blogosphere and look forward to next year.

Oh, and you can call me:

My pirate name is:
Iron Tom Kidd
A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you a tough person. Even though you're not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!

Avast! Thanks for this critical (albeit untimely) information. Regrettably, I missed it this year as well. I have since added "Talk Like a Pirate Day" as an annual event in Outlook--no more missed Pirate Days for me, matey. AAARRRRRRRR!
