Ahoy Land Lubbers! International Talk Like A Pirate Day Is Nigh!

Avast, me hearties! That’s right; you’ve read correctly. International Talk Like A Pirate Day is TODAY!!!! Get ready to walk the plank, scallywags! With that being said, what will you be doing to commemorate this grand occasion?

I may be jumping the shark here at Buzznet, but I tend to get excited rather easily.

This Friday, September 19, is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. You may be wondering, “What does this mean for me?” If you have yet to figure the answer to that question out, let me tell you what this means:

YOU GET TO BE A PIRATE FOR AN ENTIRE DAY!!!!

Again, this photo is me getting a tad to excited a wee bit too early. Let me ask you this: Can you ever be too prepared for International Talk Like A Pirate Day? There are many things I have yet to master for such an occasion and I have only until Friday to do so. Need to brush up on your Pirate jargon? Need to procure yourself an eye patch or some fine shoes fit for swashbuckling? The fine folk at the International Talk Like A Pirate Day have created an easy to use website which you can find here.

There is even a fun Pirate Name generator, which you can find here. On Friday, I shall be known as “Cowerin’ William Slaughter! Actually, maybe I should Rich-itize that and be: “Limey Rich McScurvyShanks!”

It looks like there is fun to be had at the week’s end. Here in sunny Los Angeles, there is even going to be a pirate themed bike ride out in Pasadena. It looks like I may have my hands full in creating some sort of bicycle with masts and a sail.

How will you be celebrating International Talk Like A Pirate Day? Will you be celebrating this day in grand style or will you be crafting pirate gear out of office supplies as I have done in the above photo? Whatever your plans may be, let us know!
