Arr, it be that merry time again. The salty spray is in the air, and the ship bounces joyfully in its mooring. Even the bilge rats are cheerful, or as they're called nowadays, accountants. For today it be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Its the Christmas for pirates, pirate admirers, and people who have seen Treasure Island a wee too much to be healthy. Now, you might be saying to your scurvy self, gosh you're a gallant, sexy pirate of his own fleet of ships, a veritable commodore of piratey manliness who I'd like to... umm... where was I going? Ah, that's right, you might be asking yourself how you can catch up on the piratey lingo. Well, you could try the immersion technique where you go down to the harbor pub and bump elbows and down grog with real pirates. However, its only the immersion method as real pirates will likely keel haul you a few times for bothering them. It might be safer to hang with the pirate-wanna-be's in yacht clubs, who claim their cosmopolitan is their grog of choice. For a quicker way, head over to the Talk Like a Pirate How To page, which our blessed founders cooked up while they weren't passed out on the tavern floor.
