Shiver me timbers… arrr!
It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
You might ask, what’s th' point? Ahoy! I’ll answer, why not?
Now, firstly, ye’ll need t' find out yer correct pirate name.
Get yer own pirate name from piratequiz.com.
I’m not gonna comment on th' name I were bein' given, except t' say that I shower at LEAST once per day, and I can, in no way be described as “dirty”.
Secondly, ye need t' TALK like a pirate. There’s an instructional video on that here.
Thirdly, find a foul-mouthed parrot, and walk aroun' all day with that scurvey dog on yer shoulder, horrifyin' all th' prudes in yer life.
Lastly, any excuse t' piratify yer blog is a good one, in me opinion. And God bless th' Interweb, us Aussies can celebrate it fer TWO DAYS!
So, shiver yer collective timbers, me hearties!
And hoist the mainsail!

Well batten down th' hatches and swab th' deck, matey. Oho! Is it that time o' year again?
Here is me pirate name: Mad Sam Rackham: Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You have th' good fortune o' havin' a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one o' th' coolest soundin' surnames fer a pirate. Arr!
