Yarr, or maybe it’s Talk Like Robert Newton Day.

“Thursday, September 19, any buccaneer to enter a participating Krispy Kreme and talk like a pirate gets one FREE Original Glazed® doughnut,” according to KrispyKreme.com. “To the landlubber who dares to wear full pirate attire goes a bounty of one FREE dozen Original Glazed doughnuts.”
“Full pirate attire” should include at least three of the following (and zero weapons): “eye patch, pirate hat, bandana, peg leg, parrot on shoulder, pirate shirt / loose white shirt, knickers, leather belt, silver and gold necklaces and earrings, pirate hook, pointy black boots, or ragged brown sandal.”
The Long John Silver’s fast-food chain is offering a free piece of “classic whitefish” to anyone who says, “Arrr,” and asks for it.

25

Arrrr, you poxed landlubber! Give me the popcorn shrimp you whoreson dog! This be a real parrot, an’ he’ll soil your poxed table cloth if you don’t!

26

Does it have to be a puffy shirt?

27

Individually, I love you all with affection unspeakable, but, collectively, I look upon you with disgust that amounts to absolute detestation. Oh ! pity me, my beloved friends, for such is my sense of duty that, once out of my indentures, I shall feel myself bound to devote myself heart and soul to your extermination !

I tried to find a pic of Conan the Barbarian with a puffy shirt in his pirate role in* The Treasure of Tranicos*, but was not successful.
:rolleyes:

34

I’m guessing this day sounds different in East Africa than it does here.

Also guessing that there may be persons in the south & east of England whose accents preclude their full parrrrrrticipation. :slight_smile:

And some in the north and west of said country who just call it “Thursday” because they always talk like this. :smiley:

35

Can’t talk now… Cutlass stuck between my teeth. :slight_smile:
