Well...

Now, don't get me wrong. I didn't forget that the 19th was "Talk Like A Pirate Day." I just forgot that yesterday was the 19th. Shame on me.

I should be flogged (please)!

But, I did come down with some type of sinus/allergy "crud" that made me growl a lot and tell Bob the Swab, "back off and live" when he touched the television remote control.

IOW: I was downright mean.

How's that, me hearties?

I were wearin' me button the whole day and come suppertime me crew - first mate and cabin boys - gots our pirate togs on and sailed our vessel ter a party with me other shipmates.

I brought plunder from a pirates' favorite resturaunt - Arrrrrby's, and there be grog and food aplenty that the others brought. Many sea dogs were there in pirate dress and we be watchin' pirate movies on a 10 foot screen with surround sound. Arrr.

The first movie were "Blackbeard's Ghost" for the cabin boys and girls, then it were "The Pirate Movie" (not my choice - it were a vote and I be losin' it), and finally, "Captain Blood". It be the next day by my timepiece by the time we set sail fer home.

I be postin' pictures when I gets them.

Rumors of my death are entirely premature.

Arrrrggghhhh, didn't go anywhere yesterday, so all I gots to talk to was me parrot. Well ifn' ye count the wrong number on the phone from some guy with south of the border accent who didn't understand a bit of English, when I said, "Aye matey, ye got the wrong number."

Weeeeeeelllll, ended up marooned on land ... in doors and started celebrations a tad too early ... much rum was consumed, lost me legs in the process and ate chocolate supplied by a handy landlubber who entertained me with SPOT ON Capt. Jack impressions ... quite made me forget myself :lol:

:ph34r:

On Friday, I went out wearin' me best tricorner'd hat, and me pirate coat, and wandered down to me lake, to find someone...anyone.... to talk to!

But there weren't no one around...so I went back home and sent incomprehensible e-mails to all in me address book!

Figure's If a couldn't be a- talkin' like a pirate in person, I'd be doin' it on me computer.

Sorta sad...really.

:huh: Ahoy one and all! Ol' Chumbucket and I started the day at four in the a.m. with radio interviews that went on all day until six p.m. when we took the tour of publick houses here in Albany, Oregon. At about midnight, a doctor friend brought me back home more exhasted than drunk. I woke up sicker than a parrot's what's been sittin' in an igloo fer a week o' Sundays and am still sufferin' from what I can only assume to be "Sarrrrrrs!" (sorry :huh: )

Thank ye all for celebratin' with the world! Our site www.talklikeapirate.com received more than six million hits...but she stayed afloat thanks to the quick thinkin' pirates at our server, Peak Internet.

So, next year, we're thinkin' "Talk Like a Pirate Day Weekend." Not that it matters to most of ye, what speaks pirate all year... :huh:

Cap'n Slappy :huh:
