It be Talk Like a Pirate Day! --And I be just noo' findin' o't!
It be a bleedin' travesty!
-
... ? ? ?
I'm not really sure about what that is... and will remain rather confused by it until otherwise. ':D
-
It was Talk Like A Pirate Day, and I didn't find out until it was almost too late.
So, I dropped in here, just to talk like a pirate.
You can't let TLAPD pass without so much as a good "YARR!"
-
Heh. ;D
Well, glad that you got to use pirate-speak.
Though, how was it TLAPD?
-
Talk Like A Pirate Day = TLAPD
-
Yarg! I missed it. :< 'Twas busy with other stuff.
Well, shoot. I was looking forward to it, too. Not....that I was gonna make a ship-shaped cake and dress up as Jack Sparrow or anything....
-
...
Dare I ask? XD
Heh. ;D
Yeah, but what makes it TLAPD?
What occasion?
-
Talk like a Pirate day comes but once a year! ..On the same date I think...
I believe that International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a distinct holiday, different from TLAPD, but celebrated in the same way.
So, you could say it comes twice a year.
I'd make sure, but it's so hard to find calenders that list the holidays that you're in actual danger of forgetting.
-
Arrg i r has missed it
-
Heh. ;D
Why was it made?
-
Because talking like a pirate is fun!
-
Heh! :D
I see, one of those random things that just began, one year?
Well, I've heard worse. It sounds like fun. ;D

A coupla' links of interest t' ya'll...
TLAPD origins: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/about.html (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/about.html)
and, while I'm not overfond of the web design work...
Calender of "Weird Holidays": http://www.brownielocks.com/month2.html (http://www.brownielocks.com/month2.html)
Because I am a benevolent admin.
That, and I rather like International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
For the record, it seems that both the National and International version fall on the same day, September 19th.
-
Heh! :D
Hm... wierd holidays are entertaining... ^_^
People should enjoy more of them. :P ;D
I've never heard of TLAPD... well, I guess that's obvious, but still. How big is it, today?...
( 'Suppose I just wonder how big it has to be to've been so well-noted, here, yet be something I've never heard mentioned, elsewhere. )
-
Blood fetch it to the Deeps!
Talk like a pirate day was yesterday.
--and I was really bored, too.
Would'av' been nice to have sumtin' to liven' t'ings up a bit.
-
Bugger! I just watched movies, ate cupcakes, and role played, a little bit. None of which involved pirates. Hm..I need to start writing this date, on my calendar.
-
September 19th; write it down people!
