Title: Talk like a Pirate Day! Sept. 19
Post by: action9000 on September 18, 2008, 03:14:22 PM: 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/)
http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html (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! :)

Post by: action9000 on September 18, 2008, 04:52:19 PM: Simple: Follow the forum rules. It's "talk like a pirate day" not "act like a pirate day" :p

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.
