Ahoy Matey, gangway, all hands on deck and raise the jolly roger!
Pirates fascinate me for some reason, even though they were, well, pirates, so I'm very excited me hearties, that today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Unfortunately bucko, me pirate accent is very poor, so I won't attempt to speak like a Cap'n on the air for fear of being sent to Davy Jones Locker...arrrr!
Big Wally boasts his pirate accent is very good, but shiver me timbers, the jury is out on that.
So Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day you 'ol sea dogs, wenches and landlubbers!
Splice the mainbrace with some rum, and be sure to talk like a pirate to your family, friends and co-workers all day today.
I'm sure they will love you for it, but if not, tell them for some booty, piece of eight or a doubleoon, you will stop...maybe!
Yo ho ho, remember, dead men tell no tales...fair winds!

Some movies to get you in the spirit (besides rum)...
Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean, Cutthroat Island, Hook, Blackbeard and the Pirate, Muppet Treasure Island and Return to Treasure Island.
