Nightlife Tomorrow Is Talk Like a Pirate Day
posted by September 18 at 15:22 PM
on…a day on which you may choose to talk like a pirate. I do not fully understand this phenomenon, but the sailors with whom I am acquainted say that in Seattle, the best place to celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day is the Jolly Roger Taproom in Ballard (where they’re said to serve extremely delicious mini oyster poorboys).
Some notes from a friend who is actually excited about Talk Like a Pirate Day:
On this special day I recommend Angostura rum: It has a particularly smokey flavor, an acquired taste, not unlike the smell of sieged and burning frigates. Anti-pirates might choose Goslings, choice of the British Navy.Note: Pirate hooks are available at corner store across from Walgreens on 15th! $2.99, a steal!
Here is a fairly amusing quiz that will determine your pirate name. Best question:
Buckle your swash often?1. I am quite the buckler-of-swashes.
2. I have no need of swashes, buckled or un-.
3. That sounds dirty.

Pirates are sooo three years ago
I think the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels pretty much ended that fad
Everyone please keep in mind that saying "arrrrrr" doesn't make you sound like a pirate. It just makes you sound like a person saying "arrrrrr."
It's also my wife's 30th birthday! Something will be buckled...swash or no.

It's based out of Seattle!
My name was Dirty Jenny Cash. And this is the last of the "what's your 'x' name" websites I will be visiting today.
Oh yeah! My brother's birthday! Thanks for the reminder.
Julie in Chicago: How odd. Mine was Dirty Jack Cash.
We must be related!
My pirate name is "Fuck Off, Moron".
God, can't we please be done with pirates yet?
If we're not done with zombies, we're not done with pirates.

My pirate name is:
Black Jenny Read
Oh, and mine is Rankle Hiway Palin
Dirty Roger Bonney.
Definitely better than my Palin name.
And I WILL be talkin', writin' an' swearin' like a pirate tomorrow.
Yar!
Fuck. I meant Lance Ramthrust.
No wait! I was kidding that time. That's my porn name, obviously.
My pirate name really is Iron Tom Read. Happy now?
My porn name is Elizabeth Briar. Which sounds more like a British stage actress. My husband's is Alexander Sherwood. Which, um, is the best porn name ever.
Red Sam Kidd
or
Mad Sam Kidd
Took it twice (completely different answers) and not much change.
Bloody Ethel Rackham
Now THAT'S a pirate name.
The Incredible Sulk take pirate name quiz, answer stupid questions (answer "Phrases like 'the pants off' have been known to apply" to "Do others consider you charming?"), freak out, pirate out, THE INCREDIBLE SULK BECOME IRON ROGER RACKHAM!
IRON ROGER RACKHAM WILL PIMP EVERY STUPID PIRATE CLICHE IN THE BOOK, SULLY GOOD NAME OF ALL REAL PIRATES! AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
Oh and, BTW, yes, I told them my first name is "The."
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
And no, I don't feel like letting it go.
And now a scholarly look at the Talk Like a Pirate Day phenomenon:

Me pirate name is Iron Grace Vane. Me likes being a Palin better. AAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!
I can talk like a pirate:
"Let us board your ship and take it back to our warlord in Mogadishu! Or we'll sink you!"
@10: I would happily also be done with zombies.
FYI, the real pirate-on-pirate action is in Portland this weekend.
Why do pirates have a hard time learning the alphabet?
...because they can spend years at C! Yarrrgh, har har harrr!
(Yo-ho Scottie! Pirate high-five!)
Bloody Jenny Read. Bit repetitive.
