Friday is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Squawk!!! (oh, sorry, that was from 'Talk like a Parrot Day').

Cast away, ye scurvy knave.

I suck at this, actually. I need to practice. Squaaw--aaaarrrrrrgh!

According to wikipedia, "The holiday is observed by the followers of the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who consider pirates to be divine beings."

Yea, it's that too. It's all things to all people, just like a good religious holiday should be! Pretty soon, Hallmark will sell Pirate Day cards.

Sadly I exhaused my entire pirate-y vocab in 30 seconds. But I found a couple of websites to help out.

I...I am in awe that you have such an icon!

I dared one of the staff to pirate talk when he was on the reference desk. Strangely enough, he refused. Not because he thought they'd be annoyed, but because he thought (probably rightly) that they'd pick up on it and never, ever stop.
