Fish in My Hair

Make ready the main sail, yeh scurvy dogs! Gar!

Tomorrow, September 19, is undoubtedly the most eagerly anticipated holiday of the year - at least by those of us who are only marginally sane. Yes, it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

 

To fully immerse yourself in the holiday, first you must first learn pirate-speak. Phrases like "Where be m' breeches, yeh bilge rat?" must roll off your tongue. Throw in several "arrrr's" and "ya swabbies" for good measure. If you need more help, look here. You can also see how a pirate would read your blog or website.

 

Next, you have to get yourself a pirate name. Go here or here. Then get yourself a pirate ship, here.

 

Finally, if you just can't get your fill of piracy and all things pirate-y, go to the original Talk Like a Pirate Day site.

 

Oh, and don't forget to indulge in some pirate food (maggoty bread, anyone?) and pirate attire. Remember, it's never too young to start turning your children into scurvy dogs. Here is our now-15 year old son, in his very first pirate gear.

 

 

I look forward to hearing about the festivities in your house. Er, I mean, "I look fore t' hearin' about th' festivities in yer house.Ya horn swollowin' scallywag!"

 

Signed,

Red Bess Flint of the Cursed Grail of the South

Mad Anne Rackham...it says it's pronounced Rack'em not rack-ham, and that it's one of the coolest pirate's surnames there are...and that I am crazier than your ordinary pirate. :-)

I knew it!

Love the baby pic of your big boy!!!!!

Thanks for this post! The boys and I had a good time getting our Pirate names. They've been sick for several days, so this was a day brightener for them.
Stop by my blog sometime! It was nice to "meet you. :o)

Your son is adorable! And that's hilarious. Good to meet you, Red Bess... shall we assume you're the scourge of several seas?
Found you through the carnival on JoJo Tabares' blog.

Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. Two things complete your pirate persona: style and swagger. Maybe a little too much swagger sometimes -- but who really cares? Arr!

ARR matey!!!
