Yarrr, 'tis International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

That’s a reasonable distinction. Still, how confusing it must be to those leprechauns who choose a life on the high seas, intercepting and plundering vessels they may encounter.

So Leprechauns are oatish while pirates prefer maize. Got it.

I do know where Cornwall is, me hearties.

Arrh, Jim lad. Mobey Dick on the Bernard Miles, oh-ar!

Yarrr, blow me down, I missed posting here for ITLAPD on the day itself!

Scurvy dog.

All hail Robert Newton, the patron saint of Talk Like a Pirate Day

John: You know what? I do think you talk like a pirate. And I didn’t even know you sold flowers!

Sauce:

Yarr, that’s a good one!
