"Talk Like a Pirate" Day

Today is 

"Talk Like A Pirate Day."

(Thanks for reminding me Lady Di.)

Yes, it is a real day....

as real as Grandparent's Day and National Boss's Day...

(which are both a s-t-r-e-t-c-h.)

Anyho ho ho

This Kat comes from a long lineage of 

plunderers and pillagers

and

every summer we celebrate our inner pirate.

Meet the likes of me mighty family 

and fellow mateys.....

arrrgh

Every year we band together in 

bandanas, buckles,

patch, parrot, and peg...

for some

grog, gruel, and hair from the Captain.

(drink up, me hearties.)

Talking like a Pirate is not hard...

any landlubber can do it.

Just drop your "g's" and "v's"

and throw in a "ye" and a "be"

and

ye be talkin' pirate smartly...

and 

after after a couple of tankards of rum... 

it comes naturally.

So...

join the fun

(be good mateys and leave your swords at home)

and 

"Talk Like A Pirate" today...

but

ye mateys be warned...

ne'er be talkin' pirate tomorrow...

or ye be walkin' the plank.
