Ahoy Me Hearties!
Shivers me timbers! It’s 19th September today. That could only mean one thing yer scoundrels, it’s talk like a pirate day!
In case yer wonderin - I’m ne’er loaded to the gunwales - for me ne’er know how to drink rum - I’m better off swashbucklin on the high seas!
Okay I admit it, my pirate talk was bad. Today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day (TLaPD), so if you’ve never talked like a pirate before then today is a good excuse.
Equip yourselves - watch a video here and study basic pirate speak here. If you want to add some more dramatic effect then go and get yourself a costume and mimic Captain Jack Sparrows (watch the DVD over and over).
TLaPD started in 1995 and has slowly gained recognition and now has become known internationally (though I only knew about this a few days ago). Results on google news shows that this day is being highlighted by many (minus giant media houses).
I don’t mind wearing a pirate costume to work - as long as all the other colleagues are also on the theme. It would be a bonus if there was a one-on-one, sword fighting session, you know, time to square-off with your enemy.
