That was the most gratuitous, and yet somehow satisfying, execution of ITLAP Day.

Re:stupid head
If you fill it with beer, it is a schooner!
If you fill it with doubloons, it's a Pirate ship and we use ARSCII.

Re:American Priate Party?
Is there an American Pirate Party and can anyone provide a link?
Arrrh! America's love for pirates be so big, no mere "party" can contain it! We have:
Talk Like a Pirate Day. Sure it's now "international", but it started with pirate-loving Americans!
Bus Pirates. Pirates, Robots, Mass Transit - ONLY IN AMERICA!
Spongebob Squarepants - which regularly features a PIRATE GHOST!
There have even been some obscure art-house movies recently about Pirates and the Gulf of Mexico or something...

Re:First...
Just in time for Talk Like a Pirate Day, September 19th.
-
Re:Best election campaign ever?
I like his habit of using terms like "keeping the rudder quiet" and "wind in our sails".
That's very suitable language for an election held on International Talk Like A Pirate Day .

Re:Are they?
The underlying technology doesn't matter.
What they're doing has to matter, unless you think sites like this are illegal too.

Re:Day of this, day of that...
apart from friday last week, when it was talk like a pirate day.

Re:sweep a 30-ton transformer breaking under the r
Or you just have a REALLY bug rug and a REALLY big broom to sweep it with. *ba-doom TSSHHH*
"...unless there is a black hole under said rug." Come on now, lets be realistic here: that black hole could only exist if the LHC didn't break down right away. Well, that or your infinite improbability machine is functioning (properly or otherwise).
...oh man, I just messed up the rule for the day.

Re:Tag on to a famous essay...What we need is a Richard Feynman Day. The date could be something witty, like 12.3. (12th of March) which could mark his I.Q.
:) I say we start it as a world wide grass roots movement... ala talk like a pirate day ...it'll start out with a web-page claiming more participants than actually observe and then grow from there to mythical proportions. First tradition on Feynman Day is to tell someone about Feynman Day. Okay. Go! -
Re:terrorism
Only on Talk Like A Pirate Day must the language be written correctly.

September 19?
Please, please, please make him visit on September 19...

'Attempted Piracy'
'Attempted Piracy' reads to me in a similar vein of 'Mostly Harmless'. I wonder if they consider talking or dressing up as a Pirate as 'Attempted Piracy'. There will be mass arrests this September 19.

Re:Do it back to them.
Quit Your Job Day, Sept 18th. http://www.quityourjobday.com/
Is it a coincidence that Talk Like A Pirate Day is Sept 19th?

-
Re:Do it back to them.
That's brilliant, I'll have the whole day to prepare for the greatest Holiday in the world: talk like a pirate day on september 19th.
Just think what we can do against global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters if everybody was a pirate for 1 day! -
Back off the gunwales, me hearty!

new federal holiday
Their page is as dry as a bone so as to be just about unreadable. So they don't sound like a meandering unabomber they should learn how to better communicate their thoughts. When they come into power this had better be a major federal holiday.

Re:The Political Pirate Party
You forgot to include a link to their international holiday site. It is also in September. Coincidence? I think not.

Don't you mean Arrrrrr? -
Re:Or they're ignorant...
The appropriate way to spell it is Land Lubber.
Need to scroll down to the glossary. -
That's not a parrot on his shoulder...
...that's an RPG 7. National Talk Like A Pirate Day has never been more relevant. Arrrh me hearties! Anything to foster communications with the poor, misunderstand corsairs. Seriously, this is the first such incident I can recall hearing of in this region; usually it's the Phillipines and Indonesia.
-
Re:Wikipedia is the problem!
Pirates also wear eye-patches and generally have peg-legs. Also, I believe pirates are afraid of tunnels. Though police could easily have determined that this guy wasn't a pirate, they were probably right for not taking a chance. Let one pirate through and next thing you know, you're walking the plank.
-
PiracyThey're going to cancel Talk like a Pirate Day and hire a bunch of navy cruisers to protect the shipping lanes from murderous thieves? or are we talking about copyright infringment where the 'injured' gets to make up numbers to say how hurt they are? We're talking about the second. They're looking into things like yesterday's automatic IR flashlight.
Funny though, the BBC article talks about in-theatre technology and this article talks about distributing to "universities, companies, Internet service providers and other network operators," which aren't movie theatres.
Personally, I'd rather we keep the pirates in order to combat global warming.
