Just a friendly reminder that September 19th is the annual "Talk like a Pirate" Day. Time to sink a POC boat again. :)

I think it is on the same Date every year, so the day move about. Damn Pirate Planning!

I think we need to implement, "Talk Like a Pirate Day (observed)". Just move it to the closest weekend to the 19th.

And by a lucky coincidence, September 19th is also my birthday! Talk Like a Pirate Day could not fall on a more auspicious date.

How do you speak PETASCII?

A real pirate wouldnt need to move the day. They would just show up to sink a ship after a long day of fighting (corporate) raiders. ( time bandits) ;)
I understand wanting to move it to the weekend, but i think it would be better if the celebrating was done on the actual day.
If not, can we move Thanksgiving to the following Monday, I am kinda busy on that Thursday. :p
From the TLAP website:
"Q. When is Talk Like A Pirate Day 2004 (2005, 2006, etc.)?
A. International Talk Like a Pirate Day isn't one o' those governmentally sanctioned holidays that shifts around to create a convenient three-day weekend. No, the date is ALWAYS Sept. 19 (Cap'n Slappy's ex-wife's birthday.) Now, it happens that in 2004 Sept. 19 falls on a Sunday, and we recognize that may not meet everyone's desire for an excuse to party. While a lot of fun can be had ce;ebrating TLADP in a church setting (The choir will now sing, "How Great Thou Aaarrrrt!") we're suggesting that those of a more secular bent consider celebrating Talk Like A Pirate Weekend."

Obviously that's the most desirable day, but wouldn't it be better to celebrate something with friends? Don't know if anyone will be able to make a Monday other than people who live as close as we do. This kind of thing only works with a full crew, savvy?
If not, can we move Thanksgiving to the following Monday, I am kinda busy on that Thursday. :pOnly chumps work on Thanksgiving :p

I used to plan slightly wacky parties at work. (actually, I am the wacky party champion. I totally rock. Sorry, ego moment.) I got burned out and haven't planned one in a few years. But I have discretionary funds at my disposal and administrator approval and the Department of Biobehavioral Nursing and Health Systems *will* celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day!
This calls for a trip to Archie McPhee's for suitable prizes. Teehee!

So we'll see you Sunday?

Tough luck for those that can't make it on Talk Like A Pirate Day. I am sure fun will be had on Sunday anyway.
As for the trip with friends, some are now questionable. Especially when, in their snarkyness, call my Mom, who is a nurse and hasto work holiday's, a chump. Oh, you didn't know that? Think a little before you post. And yes, I saw the smilie. but a joke was not your intention with that comment. Back to ignore for you.

Is this the introduction to the opposites?

Okay you crazies. Stop fighting and stop messing with the thread contents. You're makin' me cra-a-a-a-zy!
I apologize to the thread for sidetracking it. It has been dealt with and things are being discussed other places.
Now lets get beck to the discussion of talking like a pirate before we stray to FAAARGGGHH...

Were there Great Lake Pirates? since that's where I'll be - at a conference on the Navy Pier, perhaps I should start a mutiny?
