Yarrr, what sort o’ lubbers wouldn’t know it was an actual eyepatch? Avast!
I wait for it every year, thank ye very kindly! And it’s ‘Arr’ not ‘Arrr’!
Yeah, the pirate thing has walked the plank and jumped the shark and belongs in Davy Jones’ locker crusted with barnacles.
For an authentic “talk like a pirate” day, we’d all need to learn to say “pay the ransom or we start killing hostages” in Somali.
Arr, in my Pirate Dictionarrry, Thirrrd Edition, it’s got three Rs, ye scurvy dog!
I just heard this pirate ditty yesterday:
You Can’t Be a Pirate With All of Your Parts
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses a hand;
It spurts and it squirts and it jolly well hurts,
Pain only a pirate could stand.
The fash’nable look is a nice metal hook,
But now you can’t play in the band;
Being a pirate is all fun and games,
Till somebody loses a hand.
But it’s all part of being a pirate,
You can’t be a pirate (you can’t be, you can’t be)
With all of your parts;
It’s all part of being a pirate,
You can’t be a pirate (you can’t be a pirate)
With all of your parts.
Arr you tryin’ to tell me how to spell me own name? (Closest I could come to an eyepatch smiley!)
I would normally participate, but I was a ninja on Saturday, and I’m not sure it’s all out of my system. I don’t know what the combination would do, but I’m pretty sure it’s contraindicated.
Well, maybe just a little won’t hurt…
THIS is awesome He didn’t listen to me today though.
I am dressed for it, unfortunately working from home (with no video calling) means no one gets to enjoy it but me.
Aujourd’hui est le jour internationale à parler comme un pirate. Je parle comme Jean Lafitte.
'Tis always a good day when me people are given their due recognition! Now, where’s me ale?
Arrr, we be out of ale, Cap’n! Haw aboot some Alestorm?
For those who need lessons, here is video instruction for 5 letters of the Pirate Alphabet
Dude, this torrent of Rise of the Planet of the Apes is taking forever. More seeders, please!
Every year, me hearties, I just have to post this: http://www.ahajokes.com/cartoon/pirate_keyboard.jpg
It saddens me deeply to report that* not a **single *person in my office said anything remotely Pirate-like today.
Yeah I work with a bunch of squares.
I had to get my yo-ho fix here and by texting a friend that works in another department.
A pirate anthem from Martin Mull:
It’s great to be on a ship with men
and sail across the sea-o,
We don’t know where we’ll land or when,
but it’s great to be with men
There’s men above, there’s men below,
there’s men down in the galley,
There’s Butch and Spike And Buzz and Biff
And one guy we call Sally
Now we’ve all gone and done it.
Every fucking year on this date, one or more channels will be running a Pirates of the Caribbean marathon.
Just like today.
You just now heard that one? You should find Pyrates Royale, they have an extended version with some of their own stanzas.
My darling bride and I celebrated our three month anniversary with a buccaneers’ dinner: Beef and a shot of rum.
Just a few days too late: German police stop a British pirate ship, er, car:
