[Paisley]

Well, I would, of course, but I'm going to ballet class this evening. I'll have to wait for another opportunity to go around saying "Savvy?"

It be talk like a Pirate day, here in the New World ....

Today in Chile, it's Dia de la Patria ("Fatherland Day", which really means "Armed Forces Day").

Yesterday was Chile's Independence Day (hurrah!) Did anyone here celebrate?

For Talk Like a Pirate Day:

"?ûar eptir helt ?ìl?°fr konungr li??i s??nu vestr til Su??reyja, gengu ?æar ?° land ok t??ku strandh??gg."*

Vikings are pirates aren't they?

Haversack.

Welcome Aboard!

...you must be a pirate for the Pirate's Code to apply, and you're not. And thirdly, the Code is more what you'd call "guidelines" than actual rules...

 

[Marc Chevalier]

I wonder if today's pirates in Africa and Southeast Asia still speak like, well, pirates. [huh]

"?ûar eptir helt ?ìl?°fr konungr li??i s??nu vestr til Su??reyja, gengu ?æar ?° land ok t??ku strandh??gg."*

My wife and I were relaxing in front of the television last night and came across a truly appalling show called Wife Swap. If you haven't heard of the show (I hadn't) the premise seems to be that you take to diametrically opposed families and swap the wife/mother of one for the other. Horrible show, just horrible.

Why do I mention this.

Because one of the insane toerags who particpated in this freakshow was none other than Chumbucket or Cap'n Slappy, who created Talk Like a Pirate Day, and his wife Mad Sally.

Don't believe me?

Oh, and, AARARARRAGGHHRRR!!!!!!!

Ye know what a pirate's favourite country is, don't ye?

Aaarrrrgentina!


Back in the buccaneering days, there weren't any pirates here in Australian
waters. It was too faaaarrrrrrr to come!

(Sorry, couldn't help myself - blame it on the Sunrise morning TV show, they had me laughing bright and early this morning).
