Ahoy, Mateys!

Just so y’all are ready for the day:

International Talk Like A Pirate Day

And my favorite part, the videos that teach you just what to say:

Avast, Me Hearties

And for a quick list you can print out and hide in your pocket:

British Pirate Speak

Don’t get caught sounding like a landlubber.

Edited to add, direct from that other Knitting Pirate, Celia, otherwise known as Mad Bess Kidd. We’re apparently long lost sisters:

My pirate name is:
Captain Morgan Kidd

Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate.    Arr!

    Salt runs thick in our blood. As he is away on his 6 mos. deployment I can just hear it: “Sailors belong on ships-ships belong at sea”

  2. YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED.
    Don’t kill me yet.
    It’s easy.
    Name seven of your current favorite songs.
    Tag seven of your favorite bloggers.
    That simple.
    W. 🙂

  3. Happy Birthday Lorette! I hope your day was a very special one and that you know this to be true “you’re not getting older, you’re getting better”!
