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

Hmm, didn't realize that. That is pretty sucky planning.

There's an actual Talk like a Pirate Day? Why wasn't I notified sooner!!

Not Afraid · 08-17-2005, 10:58 AM

Argh, It seems I will be sailing the high seas of Lake Michigan on that day. I'll raise a cup 'o grog to ya all.

Not Afraid · 08-17-2005, 11:44 AM

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.

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.

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?
