Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket have even provided a short YouTube video to help those who might be a bit more pirate-speak challenged. Even Google is getting in on the action, those swarthy dogs.

    offtopic??? C'mon mods. really!!!. Can you find a better example of piracy in the current day? What's wrong with pointing out that privateerism is alive and well even in the 21st century.

    I mean... avast, haul the quartermast, trim the mainsail, drop your cocks and grab your socks... time to go a-plunderin'.

    I swear to god it seems like this happens almost every month. I've been linked at least 3 times this year (that I still have archived) to websites that proclaim some other day is talk like a pirate day.

    How about, "Pirates suck you idiotic interneters" day. Or just "Talk like a ninja" day. You don't hear ninjas, maybe all the stupid fucks I work with will just shut the fuck up.

    Fuck you pirates, I sick of ARRRRGH jokes.
