"How to Talk Like a Pirate" Film

An arrr-nonymous reader writes, "With International Talk Like a Pirate Day mere days away, it's best to be prepared with this high-school film reel 'for the less nautically inclined among us.'" Dave Barry gave momentum to this international movement. You'll have to decide for yourself which of talklikeapirate.com or talklikeapirateday.com more accurately conveys the genuine holiday spirit.

    I think the modern version of "arrh" is "dude."

    Clearly you haven't watched the video, otherwise you would know that "Yarrrr" is the correct response!

    D'oh. Obviously, I need to watch it again, as I meant to say "Harrrrr"!

    Nothing matters but knowing you are the coolest person around, and that everybody else is lame.

    I now invent fake bands and screen print my own fan t-shirts...that way nobody will steal my cool by liking the band more than me---or even worse, claiming that they heard of them before I did, and sneering that they're "over".

    In fact now I just sneer at absolutely everything that isn't a flattering airbrush picture of myself.

    Love,

    The original EMO kid. All those others are just lame copydroids.

    My friends from Victoria BC, Graham and Paul, who run this site put up an new short movie every Friday. Some other movies that Slashdot readers might be interested in:
    Video Game fans should enjoy 64k Loading Ready Rap and PSA for Ewe Boll
    Those that like the absurd might like Quantum Documentary
    Film Noir lovers should enjoy 30 Minutes or Less
    And for Canadian readers Canadaman.

    What do you define as a 'Real' Holiday? Arr birthdays? Is International Ferris Wheel Day one? This falls somewhere between those in importance.
