Saturday, September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!! Avast and ahoy, mateys!!!

You can access the web site athttp://www.talklikeapirate.com/ if you are curious about pirate-themed things. Warning: The site isn't purely polite, landlubber. Kinda PG. So. . .aaaarrrgghhh!

I will have eyepatches and pirate stickers to distribute on a first-come, first-served basis on Friday morning, so come by if you want to celebrate the Johnny Depp-ness that is Pop Culture Piracy. And please note that I do not condone REAL piracy; just attractive or goofy representations of said piracy in the cultural canon.

Some pirate humor:

Why did the pirate leave his wife?

They couldn't stop aaaaarghh-uing.

Why couldn't the little pirate get into the movie?

It was rated aaaaarghh.

And for the record: I am disinclined to acquiesce to your request.
