International Talk Like a Pirate Day
Last updated: 29 August, 2007

Avast! Here be the chance to infuse yer everyday conversations wi' romance, danger, an' jus' plain fun fer a day. It be called "International Talk Like a Pirate Day."

Arrr! I suppose ye be wonderin' why thar be such a silly holiday. Well, the answer, me inquisitive friend, be in the question itself: because it be silly and fun.

Here's some advice from syndicated columnist Dave Barry that will help ye see the advantages of talkin' like an ol' sea dog for a day:

To prepare for Talk Like a Pirate Day, you should practice incorporating pirate terminology into your everyday speech. For example, let's consider a typical conversation between two co-workers in a business office:

BOB: Hi. Mary.

MARY: Hi, Bob. Have you had a chance to look at the Fennerman contract?

BOB: Yes, and I have some suggestions.

MARY: OK, I'll review them.

Now let's see how this same conversation would sound on Talk Like a Pirate Day:

BOB: Avast, me beauty.

MARY: Avast, Bob. Is that a yardarm in your doubloons, or are you just glad to see me?

BOB: You are giving me the desire to haul some keel.

MARY: Arrrrr.

As you can see, talking like a pirate will infuse your everyday conversations with romance and danger. So join the movement! On Sept. 19, do not answer the phone with ''hello.'' Answer the phone with ''Ahoy me hearty!'' If the caller objects that he is not a hearty, inform him that he is a scurvy dog (or, if the caller is female, a scurvy female dog) who will be walking the plank off the poop deck and winding up in Davy Jones' locker, sleeping with the fishes...
