Discussion on:

Avast, ye scalawags, for Talk Like a Pirate Day draws nigh!

All I can think of is arghhh matey and shiver me timbers...which seems lame and cliche compared to the article you posted...Haven't read up enough on pirates i guess...Wonder how long it took you to come up with all this...Would have taken me days to come up with all that...maybe I should check out some of those resources you so thoughtfully provided us, brb...

Here's something that needs asharing I guess, a translator to pirate speak http://www.talklikeapirateday.com/translate/index.php

Matey, ye be skippin' o'er that cabin boy Depp's picture shows. Thar's more to be l'arnin' from ol' Errol Flynn's "Captain Blood" and "The Sea Hawk" 'bout the Code.

Now shove off or its keel-haulin' for ye!

Thank ye, NaughtyMonkey, ye scallywag, fer thinkin' o' me. Aye Matey, Ye knew I would show up before high tide.
I be in full attire fer th' day an' speakin' as th' buccanneer I be.




Of all th' days o' th' voyage, I await this event th' most.
'Tis th' time when all ye bilge rats can sound like th' captain. ...or at least make th' attempt.

But beware... cross me on me evnin' tide an' I`ll hang ye from th' highest yardarm.
Nay, belay that. `Tis a time fer reverie an' a time t' bless th' bones we can unite in one as members o' th' eternal brethren.

Sail on me hearties!

To err is human

To arrgh is pirate

Ferget ye not the pirate keyboard, me hearties! It be sayin' all we here pirates really need to be sayin', I'm sayin'... (argh...whatever...)
