No love for Talk Like a Pirate Day! Avast!

In days of old, when ships were bold
Just like the men who sailed them
and if they showed us disrespect
we'd tie them up and flail them
often men of low degree
and often men of steel
who'd make you walk the plank alone
or haul you 'round the keel
hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
hoist the Jolly Roger!
it's your money that we want
and your money we shall have!
of all the pirates on the seas
the worst of them was Blackbeard
so damnable a fiend from hell
he was the one they most feared
any man who sailed with him
was taking quite a chance
he'd hang them from the gallows
just to see if they could dance (ha! ha!)
 



I have to admit, this Talk Like a Pirate Day has been pretty much a non-event. About as piraty as I got was using my own horrible text message langauge in one of my rare texts today.

Arrr. I not be ashamed.
 

Talking like a pirate wasn't an option while doing group prep & brainstorming for a difficult negotiation.

I worked my arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrse off.
 

I changed my facebook page to a Bikke the Pirate .gif (from Final Fantasy) and added his famous quote:

"Arr, I am Bikke the Pirate, and surprised I am that you scurvey dogs have the nerve to face me. Mates! Get those land lubbers!" *fshuu, fshuu*

The *fshuu* is the sound effect that preceeds a fight scene. You heard it in your head if you've played the game before. ;)
