“AAR! AAR! PI AAAR SQUARED!”
-actual quote from my engineering teacher when told about this day.
Arrrrrrrrrrg! By talking pirate-ey of course!
I have a book by the guys who came up with this! Did you know that the day chosen is the anniversary of one of the guy’s divorces, but that his former wife is just fine with it, because she knows it’s such an honorable thing? (At least, they say that’s how she feels…)
3- i did know that. it says on the wikipedia.
yarrrr! shiver me timbers!
arr, shiver me timbers-wait- SEPT19… okay I can wait…
Arrgh. How be ya’ – Oh shucks, can’t we just make it “dress like a pirate day” and have over with it?
Oh wait. I’m in acting class, this is acting.

I’ll be a-dressin’ in ‘ta garb, and speakin’ ‘ta di’lect. I want ter find sommat akin ter Jerry Seinfeld’s poofy shirt. Me brother has a most marrrrv’lous pirate coat I’ll be wearin’. I got access’ries (earrings ‘ta size of GONGS, gold necklaces, bangles) wit’ ‘ta gif’carrrrds I received for me birthday. I’ll try ter make a hook, if it’s in me power.
Aye, sonds like fun. I’ve missed the last few, I beleive.
Arrrrrgh! I’ll be a-wearin’ an eye patch to keep me night sight up and hoistin’ the Jolly Roger to make all landlubbers tremble with fear! Aye, this’ll be a fun’n!

2 more days…if I can jus’ make ‘t two more days…
I be a-sailin’ over ter Cookley, which is a little port as none of yer ‘as ever ‘eard on, I’ll be bound. Once the ‘awsers is tied up sound, an’ everythin’s stowed an’ shipshape, I’m agoin’ ashore ter see me ol’ mate ‘Eather, as I ain’t seen since ‘er weddin’. I daresay as we’ll do a great deal o’ chinwaggin’, an’ sink a few tankards o’ grog. Either that or this ‘ere new-fangled coffee stuff, as looks like bilgewater an’ tastes like a burnt spar. I shall acquaint the lady with the signiffycance o’ the date, an’ insist that ‘er talks proper, like, in honour o’ the occasion. I might even take me pirate ‘at.
Orp!
Arrrrr, me hardies! Walk the plank! Break a leg! Swab the deck! Move your swash-buckling self!
(All the random pirate phrases I could think of, in no particular order)
i’m doing a short comic about talk like a pirate day. I’m colouring it right now as I lurk in the shadows of the blog. I think it will ba ready for tomorrow. I’ll probably send it in tomorrow evening. hopefully.
ARG! There by all talking like pirate tomarrow, if the Clock severs me right.
ARrrrrrghghhhh. Don’t get the Scurrrrrrrrrrrvy mateyzz. Have yourrrrrrrr vitamin Seas! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
*shivers the timbers*
OMGGGGGGGGGG! I had no idea until today! To bad. I forgot to dress like a pirate this morning.
ARGHRGHRGHRGHRGHRGHR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, try saying that!!!
Arr, me mateys! Me be snackin’ on me junk food. All them that be bilge rats AIN’T be eatin’ junk food. If ye be eatin’ junk food, ye be accepted in me crew.
22~ Potato Wedges count as junk food.
For the occasion, a bit of history. [you had to know it was inevitable…]
A history of Grog.
When you hear about “drunken sailors” and such, it’s quite misleading. Think about it, ddo you honetly want a bunch of drunk people working on the rigging of your ship? No.
Water will go bad after a few weeks, so for the most part anyone on a ship will be drinking beer or ale. However, it’s not near enough to get drunk on, less than 3%, called small beer.
org got it’s name from Edward Vernon, a British admiral who often wore a cloak made of grogram, a waterproof material. He was the first to standardize the ratio or rum to water, and his nickname, “Old Grog” was given to the concoction.
Today, people use the word “grog” to refer to any alcohol, when they’re feeling particularly piratical!
Arr, I’m off!
arr.. and whatnot. I would have sent the talklike a pirate day comic in if my dad weren’t on a confrence call right ow. grr.
Is it okay to post sea shanties here, or should I do it on the song lyrics thread?
Post away, me hearty.
For anyone who doesn’t know how to talk like a pirate, this useful instructional video is an excellent way to start:
Ahoy GAPA’s! I hast just sent ye a comic! coudst ye post it on this humble thread? my regards to ye.
That movie, *ahem.overdone.ahem*
In order to truly sound like a sailor or pirate, you need to know what in the heck you just said. As in, “Avast” means stop, not, “Hey pal!” *cough*
Well, yes. But in the sense “stop what you’re doing and listen to me,” it’s a somewhat abrupt way to get someone else’s attention. That’s why it was humorous for the video to treat it as a greeting.
By the way, the nerdy pirate wannabe dresses the way I did in high school.
While we’re on the subject of Grog, here’s a nice song for ye!
All For Me Grog
Where are me boots, me noggin, noggin boots?
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For the heels are knocked about,
And the leather’s all wore out,
And my toes are lookin’ out for better weather.
And it’s all for me grog, me jolly, jolly, grog.
All gone for beer and tobacco,
Well I spend all me tin down on South Street drinking gin,
And across the Western ocean I must wonder.
Where is me hat, me noggin, noggin hat?
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For the brim is knocked about, and the crown is all wore out,
And me hair is looking out for better weather.
And it’s all for me grog, etc.
Where is me shirt, me noggin, noggin shirt?
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For the collar is wore out, and the cuffs are knocked about,
And me back is looking out for better weather.
And it’s all for me grog, etc.
Where are my pants, me noggin, noggin pants?
All gone for beer and tobacco,
For the seat is knocked about, and the fly is kicked about,
And me arse is looking out for better weather.
And it’s all for me grog, etc.
I’m sick and stony broke, and I’m parted from me smoke,
and the sky is looking blacker than the thunder,
And the tavern keeper too, for I haven’t got the sous,
That’s the way you’re treated when you’re out and under.
And it’s all for me grog, etc.
I’m sick to me head, and I haven’t been to bed,
Since first I came ashore with me plunder,
I see centipedes and snakes, and I’m full of pains and aches,
And I think I’ll take a trip out over yonder.
And it’s all for me grog, etc.
30~ Yeah, I guess it is. Often imployed by my grandmother, it seems. Though she’s not a pirate.
It wouldn’t play the entire way for me, my computer must be on a strike against me. It went as far as “Jim Lad” and then went all weird, going to what I assume was the menu. It did this several times. I got a pretty good idea of what it was about though….
It bugs me when people pretend to know everything there is to know about ships and sailing because they’ve watched a few pirate movies. Grr. I like Pirates of the Carribean, but they got so much totally messed up, from costuming to shot.
It would seem simple, but so many people fall hook line and sinker for all the junk they see on TV and in videos. [/rant] This is a touchy subject for me, so I’ll just stop there.
I just remembered another song my grandma always sings,
I’m a pirate,
A dirty rotten pirate.
I delight, in stirring up a fight,
And bopping little kiddies on the head.
‘Till they’re….dead.
Woah, that one came out of nowhere! Sorry.
Blegh, a triple post!
I was wondering about the fashon sense of those “pirates” In ties? Hmm. *looks critical*
23- I knew that. Well, some of it. Like drunken sailors being misleading.
Although I’m sure that they got drunk whenever they could.
29- I know!
Yes, I’ve heard some interesting things about the “drunken sailor” thing. When you walk on a ship that is rolling, you sort of put your foot up and wait for the deck to come up and meet it. So, when you get on sloid ground again, you keep that sort of rolling gait, making you look slighty tipsy.
And, yes, when they got on shore with their pay, they were a rowdy bunch, no denying it. The picture that is inaccurate is the one with a bunch of sloshed pirates sleeping it off on the deck. Ahem, not good. Once again, don’t get me started, I will rant for hours….
ARGH SCURVY SCUM! ME FORGOTZ TERDAI WAZ TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! HABLAH!
arg
im sick
Due to technical difficulties this pierate comic of Kagy’s could not be posted on TLAPD as intended.

Arrgh!
41-thanks

did anyone notice that the first mate Bryan Hawk was based on
R-t H? I can’t draw guys off the top of my head. sorry R-tH.
Yay! You’re so good at that, Kagy!
AAAAAaaaaaaarrrgggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh!
Fire the pies, you swashbuckeling landlubbers!
Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This is 2 days after the International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
:pirate:
15- Hahaha… *awkward silence*
Tomarrow’s ‘Dress Like a Pirate Day’ for homcoming, so I’ll likely be speaking as such. Anyone have a good idea for turning common houlshold items into swashbuckling gear?
My band teacher knew about the occasion and made some very bad pirate jokes, none of which I can remember. But my friend had a good one:
What did the pirate say when he lost his eye?
A. “It’s my first day with the hook”
lol
Me likes the pirate comik.
It’s that time of year again!!!! Prepare to shock and eventually belittle your pals by talking like a pirate!!! (and, NO, my name is not coincedental!) (i probably spelled that wrong
holy cow, no one has posted here!
yeah I know, I bet everyone forgot tuesdy is “talk like a pierate day”
uh-oh [reaching for raincoat and umbrella surreptitiously]
Hey! I didn’t see the comic till now! Nice! *Pies*
AHH, kagomix, how could you??? [ducking as Kagomix’s pies fly everywhere]
Kagy- I love that comic! Can I be a pierate? AARRGGHH!
54- uh… what?
53- you can show it off to people and be all “look! this is me! I’M COOL ENOUGH TO BE THE MODEL OF KAGY’S RANDOM MALE CHARACTER!” woops caps locks. but me is too lazy to retype.
*Talks like a snowman* What do they sound like? Sort of a slow drip-drip-drip as they melt, I guess.
