THIS MONDAY! AARRR!
It be the OFFICIAL Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Are ye ready to swash yer buckles! Shiver yer timbers? Hoist the mans'l and splice the mainbrace? All at once?
Good, because that grand and glorious holiday, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, is almost here! September 19! AARRR!
Here's a few hints to pass on to yer friends:
* Aaarr! Intersperse it into your conversation to add a patina of pirattitude! But remember A little Aarrr! goes a long way. Don't say "aarrrgh" unless ye being run through with a cutlass!
* Me hearties When all else fails, throw "me hearties" into any conversation. "Fill it with unleaded, me hearties!" "The doctor will see you now, me hearties!" "I'll have a pepperoni pizza with anchovies, me hearties!" See? You sound just like a freebooter fillin' his tank, or visitin' the doctor or whatever!
* At work Don't answer the phone, "Hello? This is marketing ...." or whatever department ye work in. Scrunch up yer face and bellow into the blower, "Ahoy ye scurvy dog! How can I scuttle ye today?"
* At school yer teacher is cap'n, yer principal is Admiral Wobblebottom, the class is yer crew and lunch is prepared in the galley. "Aye aye, cap'n, the answer be 42! Arrr!"
* At parties and buccaneer bashes all weekend long Make yer entrance to the cry, "Boarders away!" and make sure that any lubbers there know exactly who has the pirattitude and who doesn't.
* Where ever you are Start the day by sending everyone you know a hearty "Aarrr!" in their e-mail or by phone. Ye'll feel better for it! Aarrr!
