Arrr. Ahoy! Did y'all 'now t'day is Talk Like a Pirate Day?

Arrggh, Matey, it had plumb escaped me memory until you reminded me, and I thankey for that. Methinks I'll spend the day preparin' for a journey to the Barbary Coast to find treasure with good company at me side. (Translation: I'll be packing to go see the San Francisco King Tut exhibit!)

Yes it was on my calendar and all over the news.

Yes, 12seconds.tv has made talk like a pirate their challenge of the day. 12seconds.tv/channel/suziam/244282.

Ahoy! Avast matey! Ay.

Ay yi. ARRRGHH!

Leave to the swarthy knave @mithrandir to post such a merry announcement! Alas... I cannot come out on deck and play, since me scurvy is at it again. I'll have to let my mate 'Chum-bucket Chimp' help you with the festivities!

With college football, of course! talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html.

LibraryThing really got into the spirit of Pirate Day. Take a look here. librarything.com.

Saturday, September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day! So, if you’re walking around The City of Brotherly Love and you feel like you’re in a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean, don’t be alarmed. According to talklikeapirate.Com it all started on June 6, 1995 when two friends John Baur and Mark Summers were playing racquetball.

During their match, they began to encourage each other in pirate slang. Afterwards, they realized how much fun it was to talk like pirates and decided to declare this particular day a new national holiday: Talk Like A Pirate Day. They started out by celebrating with friends.

Then, thanks to a column written by Dave Barry, people across the country began to embrace the idea. People in chat rooms began talking like pirates, colleges began throwing parities and quickly it gained international notoriety!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
