Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!
10I nearly missed this!
Not that I am a great Goat. Maybe I am a great Goat. History will judge. (Of course, history won’t judge me nearly as harshly as all you Mehcitezens)
BUT!
I nearly forgot to bring up that today is Talk like a Pirate day!
I am at work, don’t really have time to expand upon how awesome this day is.
And, I am sure someone will post a picture of Keane Reeves from Pirates of Penzance…
But Please, Post your favorite pirate phrase or pirate picture!

@tinamarie1974 Aye, a favorite pastime, plunderin’ the booty.
@tinamarie1974 Even with the 17th-century sanitation standards and the diseases and infestations that would come from the lifestyle depicted in the films?
I think you’d be safer with Guybrush Threepwood.
@Limewater uummm way too much thought went onto that statement. In my fantasy, there are no concerns of STD’s, pregnancy or dysentery. No, no, no.
@tinamarie1974 Well, I must amend my previous statement. I took a guess, but apparently the movies are supposed to take place in the early-mid 18th century. My apologies.
@tinamarie1974 Please tell me you didn’t just launch another (albeit also unintended) “battered chicken” war…
@chienfou uuummmm
Missed it by THAT much!
@ybmuG oh I miss that show!!
@aetris Ahh, Mr Big! And the original Dr Loveless
About ten years ago I added International Talk Like a Pirate Day as a holiday on our Exchange calendars at work (albeit like St Patrick’'s Day rather than like New Year’s Day).
I figured that eventually some tightass would complain but so far it hasn’t happened. I can see three possible explanations… (1) people (at work) are not quite as tightly sphinctered as I thought, (2) extremely tight sphincters stop people from using Outlook and Exchange for calendaring and scheduling, or (3) everyone just presumed that it was Bill Gates who put the day on their calendar rather than me.
@baqui63 there are holidays in Outlook?!!
@baqui63 Back when people actually payed me for work, I used to make sure I’d send out a lengthy official division-wide email in Pirate every September 19th. I suspect I was cementing my reputation as being a bad influence on all of the younger employees.
@mehcuda67 Most a w e s o m e! (Trying to avoid the bot here.)
I always remember talk like a pirate day, it’s my anniversary.
@Fuzzalini I bet those vows were interesting!
And, if not, what a missed opportunity!
Arrrgghhh!
Did everyone also miss Systems Administrator Day, and thank your IT sysadmins, which is also Sep 19th?
That darn scapegoat, @jnkl! @mike808 release the kraken and make her walk the plank!!
@JnkL is to blame for this!
@JnKL @tinamarie1974 Wait…our @JnKL is a her goat?
@JnKL @therealjrn I THINK so. @jnkl was advocating for deep v slim cut t-shirts. I just assumed
@JnKL @therealjrn @tinamarie1974
What a sexist assumption. Dudes like a deep v-neck too, ya know.
@JnKL @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 Dang, did I just make an assumption? I’m so sexist. I blame the scapegoat for that!
@JnkL is the reason they won’t bring back your favorite TV show
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 oh, now THAT is just wrong - on so many levels. The first of which is I can’t get those rods and cones back in alignment any more 'cause they’re permanently fried.
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG
/giphy physically ill
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn wait, Mike is that you?!?!?!?
@mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 unless you are attracted to goats… that way, does Gender really matter?
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I suppose it does to other goats, but I wouldn’t know about such things…
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @ybmuG aaawwww. Your time will come
@JnKL @mike808 @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG OK, lets try this.
Say there @JnKL, when you are out, at a beach for example…do you use the girl goat changing tent or the boy goat changing tent?
@JnKL @mike808 @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
That’s pretty much already written into the goat journal at this point.
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 not sure that really clears anything up, does it?
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 yeah, you’re probably right
/giphy sigh
@mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
I usually just wear shorts over a one piece. Then, after laying the beach blanket down to claim my spot, I stand beside it and remove the shorts.
Hope that helps clear things up!
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 sure does.

@therealjrn @tinamarie1974
So, are we headed for a repeat of the @nolrak debacle with @JnKL pimping out @ybmuG for scrapegoat?
@mike808 @nolrak @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG I don’t feel like nolrak took a very active role in pimping me to the voting public.
Am I Not meeting expectations?
@JnKL @mike808 @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG ***strong text***I suppose it does to other goats, but I wouldn’t know about such things… strong text
Goats get action. https://www.facebook.com/258395517664186/posts/1131658200337909/
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 not sure what you’re implying. If it’s that I was saying I don’t get any action, well, from goats, no, thank you very much!
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 and no, I don’t feel like I’m being pimped out by @JnKL. @JnKL is doing @JnKL’s thing (note clever avoidance of sexist pronouns) and I’m doing mine. It may have been @JnKL’s objective to bait someone into such a position (see my earlier post where I state as much), but I approach the whole thing eyes wide open. It really hasn’t altered anything. If that ends me in the goat chair some day, so be it. I figured given my snarky nature it was a given anyway.
/giphy I gotta be me
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @ybmuG things are getting serious here!!
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974
/giphy why so serious?
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 well, not what I was going for, but who doesn’t love a bunch of people in sumo suits?
@mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG I’m just here to have some fun!
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @ybmuG that looks like fun. I would LOVE to wear one of those!!
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG …say there @JnKL…if you were to wear a sumo suit, would it be a boy goat sumo suit or a girl goat sumo suit?
@tinamarie1974 Yes, but would you wear boots with them?
@ybmuG well that would just be silly!
@therealjrn I’d guess @JnKL uses neither tent. Likely @JnKL eats the tent.
@mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG 25 years ago, or so, had had the opportunity to wear a sumo suit. It is great fun!
@JnKL @mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 I love how this thread has evolved. It started with @mike808 noting SysAdmin day (which has been COMPLETELY ignored - sorry Mike), wound through some disturbing images and gender ambiguity concepts and is now at the thought of @JnKL wearing a sumo suit.
@JnKL @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG
I think we all know who to blame for this travesty.
@mike808 @OldCatLady @therealjrn @tinamarie1974 @ybmuG freely admit it - my fault!
I have enjoyed this conversation!
Damn that parrot… one job, to remind me of Talk Like a Pirate Day, and he fucked it up… AAARRRGGGGHHHH.
Oh well, just figured out the menu for tonight!
@chienfou Polly wants you to eat crackers instead
@CaptAmehrican but I’m not pissed at the cat…!
@chienfou You can’t be a Pirate without a Parrot. Send him to the crow’s nest.
@CaptAmehrican @chienfou Eat mor crackrs.
@CaptAmehrican @chienfou you seriously have a parrot named Polly, and a cat named Crackers? That’s fantastic. All you need is a dog named Plank!
/youtube I am the captain now.
