International Talk Like a Pirate Day - September 19, 2017
International Talk Like A Pirate Day
Sept. 19, every year since 2002
How to Talk Like a Pirate
http://www.wikihow.com/Talk-Like-a-Pirate
Use "arr" as a multipurpose word. "Arr" can be used in a myriad of situations. You might shout "Arr!" to indicate agreement with a statement. Or you might yell "Arr!" if you stub your toe. "Arr" is a catch-all exclamation that you can use for most emotions, whether you feel joy, sorrow, anger, or fear.
Refer to yourself as "me," not "I." Pirates don't say "I." They always call themselves "me," even if this wouldn't be grammatically correct. Instead of saying, "I have a cold," for example, a pirate would say "Got me a case of the sniffles!"
Pirates also do not say "my." Don't say, "Look at my map." Instead, say, "Lookit me map." Swap "myself" for "meself."

I like the pirate faire. Except the captain pirate made me look at his bird, then snuck and kissed me on the cheek. Last year when I took my mom to the Ren Faire, for the few minutes she lasted, I saw my friends in the encampment. And the same pirate captain was there, and he really made my moms day. And that made my day. Gotta love those pirates.

I have a hat, eye patch, + multiple swords & costumes. My husband has a hat & Ren costume, my dogs have hats & Bret Michaels pirate shirts. I will try to take and post a gif of my dog wearing her pirate hat. It has dreadlocks attached to it. It's soo cute! :laugh:2 -

I didn't see a specific time frame mentioned. Oh well, I'm still going to say this to everyone today. Maybe I'll post it in the voice thread.
It doesn't matter, Krispy Kreme isn't giving away free donuts for talking like a pirate today.0 -
