Avast, me hearties..................

What do you know? It's Sept. and that means it's time again for International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It's on a Saturday (this Saturday), so you won't be able to impress with your co-workers with your extensive knowledge of pirate jokes (it's drivin' me nuts).

On the flip side, they won't have to see you wearing your knickers and fake eye-patch.

So, have at it. Because, pirates are cool.

The Johnny-Depp-Keith-Richards-drunken-swaggering ones, anyway.

For the gents;
Aye, A fine firey lass was she! Hair as red as the devil's coals, a face that broke a thousand hearts, and a waggle in her hips that sank a thousand ships!



And for the ladies:




How To Be Speakin' Pirate-Like

Startin' Rules
1. Double up on all your adjectives and you'll be bountifully bombastic with your phrasing. Pirates never speak of "a big ship", they call it a "great, grand ship!" They never say never, they say "No nay ne'er!"
2. Drop all your "g"'s when you speak and you'll get words like "rowin'", "sailin'" and "fightin'".
3. Dropping all of your "v"'s will get you words like "ne'er", "e'er" and "o'er".
4. Instead of saying "I am", sailors say, "I be". Instead of saying "You are", sailors say, "You be". Instead of saying, "They are", sailors say, "They be". Ne'er speak in anythin' but the present tense!

Hints an' Tips

If it be helpin', start yer sentence wi' a "Arr, me hearty," in a deep, throaty voice ye'll find that the rest be comin' much easier.
