International talk like a pirate dayYes, I know your costumes have been gathering dust and your poor wooden leg and parrot have suffered from lack of attention, but alas the day is finally here.

Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Yes, it is a real day.  It was started by some friends as just a goofy idea and then brought into the spotlight by columnist Dave Barry.  There is even a website with a directory of activities.

That's TLAP for short!  Check out their website and have some fun!

They even have a how to guide for those unfamiliar with pirate talk.

Kristen .... You've got to be kidding me:  show me a pirate that says (or even thinks):

"an elán"

and I'll show you a pirate on the end of a plank with the point of a saber encouraging them forward!  Unless of course, you find them in a Hollywood studio thinking of another Caribbean sub title!

One of my favorite holidays, but I don't speak pirate. It's also my brother's birthday.

Aye Maties!  We've been practicing our pirate talk all day.  Made more appropriate by spending the day at the ocean with my parents.  I think the tourists thought we were a little nuts.  Jack:  I still don't see the phrase you mentioned.?  Since my mother's family is dutch, we got a kick out of the Dutch pirate talk.  My Dutch relatives are so incredibly calm and happy, I just have a hard time envisioning Dutch pirates.

Kristen - fourth paragraph on the link for the guide for those of us who may be unfamiliar with Pirate Talk!

Not important ... but still fun teasing you!

Ohhh...there it is.  Feel free to tease me!  Must be the blonde left in me that made me just realize I could use the search feature to find it. :)

I wish I knew about this holiday, my kids would have loved it. They would have probably dressed up as pirates and spoken in "pirate" all day long. Hopefully they'll have it next year and I can mark it on the calender.
