Happy talk like a pirate day!
Wednesday, September 20, 2006
Thanks must go to Mike for this nifty idea.
Imagine how much fun work would be on Talk Like a Pirate Day. Forget about casual Fridays or the ever-popular “Wear Matching Socks” days, TLAP Day would enable you to say what you really mean without getting into trouble.
Here’s how my “pirated” voicemail would sound:
“Ahoy there matey! You’ve reached Captain Staring. I’m either raiding the supply cabinet or walking the plank. State yer demands. BEEP.”
Here are ways you can freak out on your coworkers:
“Shiver me timbers Joe, we needed to fly that up the flagpole hours ago!”
“Don’t make me raise my eye patch.”
“I’d spell it out for ye but ARG, I can’t read!”
“Talk to the claw.”
Oh, and for those other occasions:
“Arg, the pop machine ate all my doubloons.”
“Polly paid ye a visit. There’s a spot on yer shoulder.”
“Ahoy! We have the map!”
The possibilities are endless, which is why TLAP Day should happen at least once a month. You might want to check with management before installing the plank though. Arg!

"Polly want a cracker?"
"Get away from me, Mike. I just started South Beach."
"Yar. Beware the Curse of the Disappearing Flesh."
LOL! I happen to be striken with the Curse of the Golden Oreos at the moment. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Diet Coke.
Okay, this is totally weird, but I had no idea that Tuesday, September 19 was the official Talk Like a Pirate Day. I find that truly bizarre that I would pick up on the pirating vibe without wearing an eyepatch or owning a parrot.
With all the weird things that you do on a regular basis, how did you not know that? You're spending a little too much time in music videos and not enough onine.
I know, it's terrible. Think of all the fun holidays I've been missing out on like Touch a Leper Day, Eat Mushy Peas Day, I Heart the Bay City Rollers Day...
