Can You Talk Like A Pirate?

This Saturday, September 19, 2009 will be International Talk Like A Pirate Day. What in the world is that all about you may ask. What once was a goofy idea celebrated by a handful of friends has turned into an international phenomenon that shows no sign of letting up. The "pirate guys" were first mentioned in an article by nationally syndicated newspaper columnist Dave Berry seven years ago and the rest is history, well, sort of. You can visit the official website for more details. One of the great ideas mentioned on the website for celebrating the day is Pirates for Parkinsons charity walks all over the world to raise money for a good cause while havin' a rip-roarin' good time.
