Talk like a pirate.
http://talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html
Shiver me timbers! We missed it again, argh! This be a site I stumbled across one year ago, and it gave me a laugh. I'll gi'e ye the rele'ant backstory: On one real beaut of a morn, two old landlubbers were prancin' about the raquetball courts, and them and their wretched bodies was achin', the scurvy dogs. Soon they began squawkin' "Aarg" and "G'arr" with e'ry bound they took. They gave themselves a laugh, they did, and so set aside that day, the 19th of September, as a holiday to mark the occasion. Their mates joined in, and soon they 'ad a crew o' plenty o' seamen followin' their fine tradition, including the popular Dave Barry. Today, any self-respectin' sailor is sure to speak with a terrifyin' air, walk with a swayin' swagger, and buckle with the finest swashes once a year. M'garr! I be Bloody Steve, Cap'n o' this vessel. Be ye among me crew, or among the bilge rats wantin' a keelhaulin'?

Hmm. Talk like a pirate day, huh? I suppose it'll be Sing like a Canary Day tomorrow, and this weekend could be Bark like a Seal Day, and next monday is - no, I'll tell you - Cry like a Baby Day, followed by Screech like an Owl Day. I'm gettin' that day off and PARTY! Next month will be Lecture like a Parent Day, and that following weekend will have Yell like a Rebel Day, then there's - oh, I gotta stop!
Oh - speaking of pirates, you ought to see the great Pyrate stories that Grey Wolf does, if you like pirates you'll definitely love his stories!

That's a good question.
This topic was created on September 20th, but Talk Like a Pirate Day was on September 19th So I really don't get the point of this topic and the OP seems to have abandoned it........ *padlock*
