Talk Like A Pirate Day 2009

Why do we need an International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Make no mistake. We do. Before we go any further, there’s something we need to be clear about. Pirates were and are bad people. Really reprehensible. Even the most casual exploration of the history of pirates (and believe us, casual is an accurate description of our research) leaves you hip deep in blood and barbarity. We recognize this, all right? We aren’t for one minute suggesting that real, honest-to-God pirates were in any way, shape or form worth emulating. Talking like a pirate is fun. It’s really that simple.

Dave Barry: Every now and then, some visionary individuals come along with a concept that is so original and so revolutionary that your immediate reaction is: ”Those individuals should be on medication.”
