packsaddle 753 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This has been a fun day so far. Scared wife this morning, she thought I was insane...I know what you're thinking, don't say it. Then the frightened looks on the classes...priceless. But once I had informed them of this very important day, we had a few minutes of unencumbered fun. What I'd really like to do sometime is an entire lecture in 'valley girl'. But that's going to take a LOT of practice. Link to post Share on other sites

NJCubScouter 1389 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 This thread was brought to you by the letter Ahhhhrrrrr... One year my son decided to play a little trick on me on Talk Like a Pirate Day, which I did not know existed up till that point. Got home from work, ate dinner, went on the Internet to check some things (with my son paying more attention to what I was doing than usual, though I didn't realize it at the time), and suddenly every web site was in pirate language. It took me a little while before I figured out that this was not the Internet's doing, but my son's. (Apparently there is some browser add-in which makes your computer "talk" like a pirate, in other words my son installed what I would basically call a virus on our computer, but it was easily turned off.) There is more than one reason why I am happy he is now in college. Link to post Share on other sites
frankpalazzi 62 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 National Talk Like a Pirate Day is the equivalent to Christmas for the Pastafarians. (The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster). Fun stuff! http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Pastafarian_Rituals Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Just to be clear, most of us pirate talkers are NOT pastafarians! (not that there's anything wrong with that...) Link to post Share on other sites
