Comments on Tomorrow Is Talk Like a Pirate Day

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.

Don't forget to visit http://piratejokes.net/

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.

Tomorrow Is Talk Like a Pirate Day
A found poem, by Bethany Jean Clement

Extremely delicious mini oyster poorboys
Not unlike the smell of singed and burning frigates
I am quite the buckler-of-swashes

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:

Your hearty,
MRD

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.
