Yarrr! Be ye ready fer National Talk Like A Pirate Day, me boyo?

That scurvy dog scribbner Dave Barry, he be the one startin’ the whole bloody mess, but now we have a day to ourselves to terrorize the genteel folk that be about us, and the 19th of September be that day!  It be a well-known fact that those not of the Brotherhood be intimidated by our fine patois, thus hastenin’ their cowerin’ in fear when we board their ships and plunder their ports.

Just remember that there be more to speakin’ our lingo than throwin’ an “ARR!” in every sentence!  So ye might be wantin’ to visit our beloved site on the Wide Web of Wickedness and spend a little time brushin’ up yer speech, ya barnacle-covered sea dog!

An' just remember this be Cowerin' Ted Scabb who be a tellin' you this.
