Talk Like a Pirate Day

Surely you knew that today was a holiday! Every year certain geeks celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day and pepper their conversations with ahoy, avast, and maybe a shiver me timbers. (You can visit the official site if you feel the need to know more.)

I must admit that I didn't start every sentence with arrrrr, but I did try to have a little fun on Twitter. Our language can be both a tool and a plaything! Perhaps you'll be amused (though if I make myself laugh, I consider that a success). If not, then you shall walk the plank!

Arrr! Avast! Jolly Roger! Walk the plank! Scurvy dog! Is that how to #TalkLikeAPirate?

Columbo, the lost episode: Falk Like a Pirate.

Rock would have, but Doris couldn't get into the role-playing so they never made the sequel: Pillow Talk Like a Pirate.

If you want to join the crew in China, you need to be able to wok like a pirate.

It took awhile for the captain to hire a plumber. He had to find one who could caulk like a pirate.

If you want to make the baseball team in Pittsburgh, you'd better be able to balk like a Pirate.

The captain had to clear his throat after yelling at the crew. Good thing he could hawk like a pirate.

The crew was apprehensive about getting their polio vaccines until they learned their doctor could Salk like a pirate.

Just called my mom to wish her a happy #TalkLikeAPirate Day. Can you believe she didn't realize it was a holiday‽
