Today, talk like a pirate!
For today and today only, please address me as Capt. Hank Grease Palms.
Sadly, I didn't make that name up. This Web site did. I only wish I had that creative ability. Rather, all the credit goes to the folks who created this pirate name generator.
You see, Sept. 19 appears to be International Talk Like a Pirate Day. So put a patch over your eyes, a peg on your leg, a hook on your arm and give the world your best "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"
Feel free to call your boss a scaliwag. You know that co-worker you hate? Plunder their desk. Take what you can, give nothing back. You've got carte blanche on Talk Like a Pirate Day.
If you need some pirate-talking practice, study the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trailer below.

Great post.
Everyone online seems to be talking like a pirate today.
I recently interviewed the founders of talk like a pirate day. They told me that one of the reasons this "holiday" spread is that it's so easy to do. All you have to say (or write) is Arrr or Ahoy and you're in.
Here's my interview:

Talk like a pirate day rules. I found this list of the top ten pop culture pirates that's pretty funny:
