@ELUNO I remembered it was Talk like a Pirate day because I saw a sign for Krispy Kreme and thought I might stop in for $4.99 for a dozen original glazed courtesy the Carolina Panthers victory, and maybe finally pick up the Krispy Kreme Cheerwine I haven’t found yet. I was confused when I saw the line was halfway around the building, then noticed some people dressed as pirates and remembered.
Several years ago the antivirus software I used (Avast) released a pirate language on this day. I chose it and had great laughs every time the update popped up in public with “Avast ye hearties, yer blacklist of dangerous seadogs be safely aboard!”
We have a Talk Like A Pirate Day parrrrrty on the closest Saturday most years. We usually set up a screen and projector in the barnyarrrrrrd (I can do this all day) and watch a pirate movie or two.
The weather didn’t look cooperative this year, so we moved it into the barrrrrrrn itself. Worked quite well.
This year’s selection was “The Pirates! Band of Misfits,” which we enjoyed thoroughly. I’ve heard the British cut was better than the American one, but we had no complaints.
@CaptAmehrican With you being a boat captain, I can understand your distaste for sea raiders. But people like the caricature pirates. Not the real blood thirsty ones.
Locally we have the ‘Isle Of Eight Flags Shrimp Festival/
Pirate Parade’, and we have ‘Fernandina Pirate Festival’ (with Pirate Scholarships, don’t ye know) and Pirate Cruises and the whole Black Sails tie-in. And it’s year-round. People wear pirate costumes at the least excuse.
I learned when I got an email from O’Reilly (the computer book publisher) this morning informing me that they had a sale on R (the statistics language) books and videos. Oh those wacky computer nerds! “LOL”
A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel stuck on his penis.
The bartender, shocked, looked at him and exclaimed, "HEY!.. You have a steering wheel on your penis!!"
The pirate responded…
“Arrr, 'Tis driving me nuts.”
Got an email from Newegg today.
The theme was “Tech Like a Pirate”
@TickledLizard There are a number of movies I still need to see…
If you go to Krispy Kreme and talk like a pirate, you get a free donut. If you go in full pirate costume, you get a free dozen donuts.
@ELUNO
The 2 closest locations to me are 25.23 miles away, and 83.49 miles away.
I doubt the drive would be worth it.

@TickledLizard What would you do for a Klondike bar?
@ELUNO
Dunno. Never had one in my life.
(And yes, I get what you were doing.)
@ELUNO Damn, the closest Krispy Kreme is 116 miles away, in Canada. Can you transport donuts across the border?
The biggest donut heist ever conceived… In 3D!

Aye matey.
A few years back, I added International Talk Like A Pirate Day to the default holidays on the Exchange email system at work.
Today is my friends birthday and it is the only birthday I remember because of this!
Ugh People are driving me insane with the pirate thing. I don’t get who people like pirates so much it is like talk like a robber day.
@CaptAmehrican They talk like robbers in the movies all the time
@CaptAmehrican Talk like a Robber Day is on April 15th.
