International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. In the spirit of the day, I wore an eye patch. Because I’m… weird, I wore it in the middle of my forehead. You know, over my third eye.

I also [and I don't know where I got the strength to do this] resisted the urge to talk like a media pirate. You know, instead of Ahoy, me hearty!, Aaarrr, and Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum, I wanted to say things like Napster, Bit torrent, and mp3 file sharing. Not that anyone listens to me anyway….

  I saw the two guys who came up with talk like a pirate day on a late night show, I can’t remember which one. I think they were playing raquetball and one of them pulled a hamstring or something and went, “ARg” and the other one said how much it sounded like a pirate, then they talked like pirates all day and the rest is history. The human species never ceases to amaze me with its ingenuity.
