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

Then shouldn't it be "Talk like the Commodore Day"?

What? We have to schedule days to talk like pirates?

Pft.

Gn2Dlnd · 08-17-2005, 06:03 PM

Of course not, silly. Its just mandatory for everyone else to talk like a pirate on my birthday.

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?

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!
