It Be Talk Like A Pirate Day, Matey!

Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day.  Last year I had a lot of fun with that at work.  This year I'll just swagger around the house singing sea shanties and muttering curses at the cat.  (She can take it!  She curses me all the time.)

This is the entry from last year, complete with my pirate name:

Talk Like A Pirate

Monday, September 19 is International Talk Like A Pirate Day.  A friend of my son's told him this yesterday, and I was fascinated with the idea.  I may have to do something for it Monday at work.  I checked on the net and lo and behold I found the site for it:

I found a lot of interesting facts and fun things to do.  I found out what my pirate name would be:

My pirate name is: Dirty Mary Flint 

 You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
