it's "International Talk Like A Pirate Day," scallywags!

avast, me maties! it's Talk Like A Pirate day, and all day today, you must show yer "Pirattitude" and speak like a pirate!!

here are just a few fun things you can do on "talk like a pirate" day:

A.Vote for who kicks more booty: pirates or ninjas?

B.Take the "Official Talk Like a Pirate Personality Inventory (TOTLAPPI)" to discover yer "inner pirate" .. here are me results, land lubber (surprised?):

"You are The Cap'n!"

Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.


C.Use yer wiley ways to entice them smartly lasses with these very pirate-y pick-up lines:

10 . Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?

9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

8. Come on up and see me urchins.

7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.

6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?

4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?

3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.

2. Well blow me down?

And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is …

1. Prepare to be boarded!


--- all in all, it's a fun day of pillagin', plunderin' and consumin' o' the rum!!
arrrrrrrrrr
