"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 was surfing the piratebay and tried to look for albums in the search box.

    I was like "arrr, where be the new loot from Soul Asylum, matey?" and nothing relevant would come out in the search results.

    So I did "avast, pirate captain, I be looking for The Silver Lining. Might I barter a bottle of rum for your treasure map linking to the torrent file?" Still nothing relevant.

    "Look, you scalliwag, you best be giving me the new tracks with David Pirner's voice or I shall organize a mutiny and it be the plank for you, arrrrr!"

    Then I found out all you had to do was type "The Silver Lining" and it would show up. This pirate talk thing is overrated.

  3. This is great news for the environment!!! by sfeinstein · · Score: 5, Funny

    As every loyal Pastafarian knows, the Flying Spaghetti Monster considers all things piratical blessed and holy.

    Furthermore, it is clearly the case that the decline in pirates over the years has lead to a huge increase in global warming and other distasters. Only by promoting the pirate and his way of life can we hope to save this beautiful planet of ours!
