Slog - Comments on Tomorrow Is Talk Like a Pirate Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/tomorrow_is_talk_like_a_pirate_day ...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.
