YARR!!!

Avast ye skallywags, ye dirty sea-dawgs ye, you'll be needin' yer rum and wenches for talk like a pirate day. I bein' encouragin' ye land-lubbers to be talkin' like scurvy dogs until the strike of midnight.

Loot, plunder, and pillage to ye salty heart's content.

Yep, Google has informed me that it is talk like a pirate day. I have always liked pirates. In fact just last night I had a conversation about taking up pirating as a career. There has to be a how to guide or Wiki out there on "How to be a Pirate", or "Being a Pirate for Dummies". If anyone of you all finds one of these let me know. I’m talking a practical guide here not some how to dress like a pirate nonsense.

My High School Mascot was the Buccaneer. A play on the name of my home town, which is nowhere near the Briny Deep.

If you are interested here is a link to the Official Talk Like a Pirate Day website http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html. They have some interesting stuff including a Pirate Speak Translator.
