Avast ye, ya' scurvy scoundrels!

Today we *all* get to be Wannabe Pirates!

Aye, matey, and I'm sure you've 'eard the lot of em', but 'ere goes:

1. What does it cost to bury a Pirate?

2 What is a Pirates favorite article of clothing?


(17th Century Drumroll pending . . . . . . .. )

This joke works best in person....

me: What is a pirate's favorite letter?

you: an Rrrrrrr?

me: No. It's a P, cause it's like an R, but it's missing a leg.



Happy TLPD, ya salty sea dogs.

Years ago a colleague would bring in... stuff... software he... obtained in some fashion I didn't want to know about. He kept all his misbegotten booty in a folder on his drive called "Arrrrrgh". He would have some new application up on his computer when I walked by and I would say "Cool! Where'd you get that?" and he would close one eye and reply "Arrrrrgh".


That's my best pirate story.

Rupert Murdoch talks like a pirate every day. (At least the Keith Olbermann version does.)

Yarrrr! The theme of the NY Times Crossword today was "Talk like a Pirate Day". I got it right away, mateys!
