Just thought you might like to know that the 19th of this month is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! :).

Here it is…

There’s even a translator!

And the best part…friday the 19th is the night of our grade 12 formal (sort of like a prom). 
Ok, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Well not really, but it does call for hyperbole.
So here are some other days we need to have:
Int’l Talk Like Carol Channing Day.
Int’l Talk Like an Egghead Day.
Int’l Talk Like PeeWee Herman Day.
Int’l Talk Like Adolf Hitler Delivering a Speech Day.
Int’l Talk Like Her Majesty Elizabeth II Day. (Particularly when not amused; and yes, I realize there are several million people who actually do talk like this normally, but face it, like it or not, the rest of us are amused by it)
Int’l Talk Like John Wayne Day.
Int’l Talk Like Elvis Day. (Presley, not Costello)
Int’l Talk Like Ed Wynn Day
etc
Others?

Argh! I read about this in Dave Barry’s column last week and forgot to post about it. Thanks for taking up the slack Andrew.
Be careful talking with your maties about your booty. Those unaware may think its more talk about JLo.
Sorry, forgot:

I am 19 days ahead of the game without even realising it. Hurrah for talking like a pirate - fun, but it does annoy people.

This chair be high, says I
HAR! HAR! HAR! HAR!
Only one Ed…inimitable. Although it is fun to try. My favorite is from the Mad Hatter: “Muthdard!!! Don’t let’s be ridiculous!”
Pirate day
Who’s beent’see that new Pirate movie? I watched it ayeterday and I thought it was pretty decent. You can’t go wrong with plentyo’cursed pirates, lotso’action, plunderin’ and pillagin’.
Have you tried it yet? It really is a lot of fun. 
Unless they’re all in on it.
Definately a classic.
Me! I’ve given this a lot of thought and I can honestly say that Pirates of the Caribbean is my all-time favourite movie. It’s got pirates, humour, action, and a haunted monkey…what more could you ask for? If you haven’t seen it…see it. Jonny Depp is brilliant, he just makes you want to be like him. At our school heaps of people are in on it, so friday should be a lot of fun. It’s also the last day of the term.

I was actually quoting something… the problem being I can’t remember what, so presumably it’s rather pointlessly obscure. Ah, well… 
Phil
yarr you cursed scurvy sea dogs.
one fatal point i think Andrew left out about the pirate movie is that there is not only the good old pirates but in addition…Zombie pirates. What does this movie lack? (apart from hardcore nudity) NOTHING,
