Today, September 19th, is
International Talk Like a Pirate Day ...
It's the day when ye and yer motley mateys snarl
AAAAARRRRR!!!!! at each other, swagger, drink grog, and attempt to board vessels belonging to others. I would caution you, however, that boarding vessels belonging to others is probably not a good idea in states where those others aggressively exercise their right to mount cannons, whether openly or concealed. I'd just stick with the
AAAAARRRRRs!!!!! if I were you.
I've never quite figured out the whole fascination we seem to have with pirates. We seem to think of them as happy party guys like this ...
whereas real pirates tend to be greedy, vicious, and sadistic ...
and frequently corporate ...
Think of them as the Donald Trumps of the bounding main.
So go ahead and
AAAAARRRRR!!!!! each other to your heart's content one day a year. Just remember that real pirates are not nice people.
Have a good day.
AAAAARRRRR!!!!! More thoughts tomorrow.

Pirates are a nasty crew.
"Just remember that real pirates are not nice people."
Ha! Most people are not nice people.
Oops, my anti-social behavior is showing again.
Pirates have no plan to be better than they are.
During the campaign season it should be 'talk like you're irate' day.
It can be fun to pretend pirate while on the phone.
