Known to it's observers as TLAPD, International Talk Like A Pirate Day is becoming an actual, observable event. Started in 1995, TLAPD is the one day a year you can walk around talking to people like a pirate, and actually have a legitimate excuse (well, OK, Halloween might qualify too, but aren't you getting a little old to go trick-or-treating, anyway?).
From the FAQ:
Q. The big one: WHY?
A. Why not?
Talking like a pirate is fun. It's really that simple. It adds a zest, a swagger, to your every day conversation. Do you need another reason?
Try it out. Let go, have a beer, burp in public. Say "Aarrr!!" Feels good, doesn't it?
