Well, it's 1.25am here, so technically it's International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I got back a while ago from my dad's band playing a slightly pirate-themed show in a pub. Nearly everyone was dressed as pirates. Including the band. Good times were had by all.

How are you celebrating, you scurvy dogs?

Well I'm currently working on my corset-top to go over my burnout stripe shirt. Not sure what to do for the bottom half yet.

Edit: If anyone has any suggestions I'm open! I have a pair of black boots. For bottoms, there's cargo pants, mildly striped jeans, a lace-up pencil skirt, or an old pair of white karate pants tied up at the bottom to look like sailor pants. Oh and a pair of really tight almost-legging black pants. Accessory suggestions also taken!

Arrrrrrrrrr!

Aw. I wanted to do that.



About 44 minutes till Pirate Day for me. Though earlier today, I frustrated myself teaching people how to not get lost and die by using a map. Pirates use maps. Right. So that counts.

and then lets seduce WOMEN! LOTS OF WOMEN!"It's spelled wimmin, or better yet, "wenches". And pirates don't seduce women, they plunder them!
Tsk.

Avast!, the antivirus, has a pirate setting now. I was very disappoint when I found out it didn't talk in pirate, but now I have a happy :smallbiggrin: Also, they have an announcement on their website that they want Johnny Depp to do some voicework for them, but don't know how to contact him.

I shall not lower myself by corrupting the Queen's Own English, not as a legitimate privateer in her service!

I didn't realize you could do that, but I checked it out after you mentioned it. It is awesomesauce, and I will keep on using it long after TLAPD.

I learned about it when my old computer was wiped. for some reason Google's language defaulted to Chinese, and I couldn't tell what setting was English, but, when I scrolled to the top of the list, lo and behold, there was pirate, written inside brackets in plain English. I used that to get my language back to plain old English, and have debated whether or not to change my language to pirate since.

You guys have too much time and money if you honestly own and tried to read all of in one day the complete set (which I'm assuming is far more than 239).
