arrrg! (a bit belated...)
shiver me timbers, I forgot about "Talk Like a Pirate Day" this year. The annual event occurred on Sept. 19th-- luckily Dave Barry's book tour is spreading the pirate love to N. American cities near you!
Quite frankly, ever since I got back from the dentist this morning, I feel like I'm more appropriately equipped to celebrate this much-overlooked holiday-- it's rather like that scene in Hook when Tink is coaching Peter on how to be a pirate: Your left arm is dead, it hangs lifeless at your side. Lean on the crutch. Left foot turn in, tilt your head and glaaaare with your good eye. Now crack your mouth and droooool. Now growl. (Obviously, the glaring, drooling and growling have been part of today's activities, not so much with the limping-dead arm thing....)
Some piratical links for you to enjoy:
Pirates! Fact and Legend with bios of famous pirates, a history lesson, and a piratical message board.
The official site of Talk Like a Pirate Day.
Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance Home Page. Perfect for felons' not currently engaged in employment.
Which 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Character are You? a new quiz, oooh!
Pirate Mod. I kid you not, clothes for the savvy bucanneer-cum-fashionista.
