Talk Like a Pirate!

Avast, ye mateys! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrr! T'was many years ago today (I'm not bein' sure how many, 'cause of the grog) that Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket declared this day to be Talk Like a Pirate Day, and t'was some time later that it was promoted by buccaneer Dave Barry, and then went international.

I expect ye all to be talkin' like pirates on this very special day. If ye be needin' instruction, I suggest ye read this lovely how-to from Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket themselves. They be the ones who started it, and they be the ones who know best. Or perhaps ye be needin' the one and only pirate keyboard. Be clickin' here if yer needin' a wee bit of pirate culture. So all ye mates and wenches be ready to be enjoyin' International Talk Like a Pirate Day, for today be among the best days of the year! So says me, Redbeard the Pirate! Yarr!
