Well blow me down me hearties!

Avast! It be Talk Like a Pirate Day today!

It all began in 1995 when a couple of guys called Mark and John were playing racquetball and started yelling out encouragement and slags in pirate slang. Neither are quite sure why, but the concept snowballed from there.

And so with a little help from Dave Barry each year on September 19th, it's Talk Like a Pirate Day.

So take a little time out and confuzzle the colleagues and confound your kids, mateys.

I'm off to shiver some timbers.



...Actually that sounded quite rude. But I'm going to do it anyway.
