Hallmark hasn’t covered it yet, but Dave Barry has. Tomorrow, September 19th, is Talk Like a Priate Day.
I love this. In a world full of holidays invented to sell cards, holidays invented to sell presents, and holidays invented to get out of workk, there’s one holiday that’s totally free of that. It’s some guy’s ex-wife’s birthday, and all you do is talk like a pirate. There’s no one you’re talking like a pirate for. You don’t need to buy anyone presents. You don’t need to send cards. You just need to talk like a pirate. Is that so much to ask? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!
