Talk Like A Pirate Day

September 19th (every year) is International Talk Like A Pirate Day! And that's tomorrow! What be this Talk Like A Pirate Day? Wikipedia be sayin':
International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD) is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur ("Ol' Chumbucket") and Mark Summers ("Cap'n Slappy"), of the United States, who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.[1] For example, an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with "Hello", but with "Ahoy, me hearty!" The date was selected because it was the birthday of Summers's ex-wife and consequently would be easy for him to remember.
So hoist the flag and shiver your timbers and trail off when you run out of clichés.

I declare it also be a fine day for watchin' the film Pirates. Or maybe Yellowbeard with lots of good advice on how to be a pirate.
