Hey all!

As a few of you may know, Sept. 19th is international "Talk like a Pirate day!" as seen here:
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html

As a rather savvy pirate fan ( :p ) I couldn't help but see if we can get this going here on the GoF for a day!

So let's see what ye scurvy dogs got!  Get some pirate talk posts going around here for a day and have some fun!
I've got a little extra incentive: Anyone I see Talking like a Pirate will receive a bit of treasure at the end of it all! B)  :yes

If you talk like a pirate tomorrow and I miss ya, post back, PM me, yell at me, make me walk the plank, something!  I'll get ya your reward! :)

well, i guess, i could manage to talk like a pirate, but how does it work to write like one?

maybe saying "Arrr" every time you speak?

anyway i will try to do.

something else came into my mind. pirates aren't known for being polite, as far as i know. at KarateParty.org i read a lot of insults...how do we handle that?

Simple: Follow the forum rules.  It's "talk like a pirate day" not "act like a pirate day" :p

I approve of Talk like a Pirate Day. I will do this in most of my classes, excluding English.

Tim I didn't catch this the first time through.  I don't approve of this.  This just makes a lot of work for us to award "unofficial" holidays.  I mean if you want to do this, I guess its fine but I don't want this to be the norm around here because there are so many "unofficial" holidays out there.

Hmm...  Could be fun; I may or may not join in yet, I haven't decided...  Tomorrow will be busy for me for a while, but I'll definitely be back....  Hmm...  Yarr, matey!  Shiver me timbers!  Land ho!  Yeah, stuff like that... :P: xD
