Shiver me timbers!
General Nonsense, Hillarious, News, Piratey, Todays Top Tips September 13th, 2006September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
International Talk Like A Pirate Day began in the mists of the 1990s, when two Yankees, John Baur (Ol’ Chum Bucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy), be talkin’ like pirates all o’a sudden.
They decided that, to further the noble causes of the sweet trade of piracy, September 19 each year be the day when all souls over the world should be talkin’ like pirate.
Marie Curie Cancer Care be runnin’ their annual Pirate Day appeal too. Can ye get people to sponsor ye to go to work or school dressed as a pirate? Can ye keep the accent up all day? The link be at http://www.mariecurie.org.uk
Will anyone be participatin’?

Yay! The word is spreading! Have a look at an old entry on my blog for some pirate name generators. (There’s a link with a quiz seems to have disappeared, but the others are still functional.)
