It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day! What better holiday is there?
Learn the lingo here. And even my German-speaking friends can learn to speak like a pirate here. And my Swedish-speaking friends can listen to Swedish pirate-speak here. And, yep, my Chinese-speaking friends (not sure I have any, yet, but if I do...) can find Chinese-pirate-speak clips on this page, too. See? Told you it was international.
I think I'll celebrate by drawing more treasure maps and raiding the rum. Later. After I draw the treasure maps.
(Coincidentally, I am listening on my iPod to Buccaneers and the Pirates of our Coast, by Frank Richard Stockton; I downloaded it from LibriVox, and it's so compelling that I find myself looking forward to going to the gym or getting in the car, just so I can listen to some more. It's like stepping into another world. Now that's good "reading," my friends.)

Aargh! I am so sorry I missed Talk Like a Pirate Day this year...
Aargh (that pretty much exhausts my pirate vocabulary, lol).
Yep, I missed it too! I'm a boat person also, though ashamed to say mainly a fair-weather boat person. So, i loved looking at your boat pictures.
