Are you prepared? Do you have your outfit? Stuffed parrot? Eye patch? We certainly hope so, because today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day, and you might seem a little ridiculous if you failed to adequately accessorize your performance. You think we're kidding? This is a cultural movement, with a website, a book, and best of all, an official song.
We're torn, because the whole ditty is pretty priceless, but this might be our favorite verse:
T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!
When laptops are benches God gave us for wenches,
And a sail ain't a low price to pay!
When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
And every last buckle is swashed,
We'll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
And pound back the grog till we're sloshed. Yo ho ....
