About International Pirate Day
Some of you might say why talk like a pirate on this day?
Well, it's fun - It's really that simple. The concept was originally created by two friends, John Baur and Mark Summers — find out how pirate day came about.
Talking like a pirate gives your conversation a sassy lingo, denied to scurvy landlubbers. We also have a gut feeling many of you know who Guybrush Threepwood is. Some of the best games ever made are about pirates, so we have all the reasons in the world to celebrate! We have also created this contest for you to enter:

"Ye be naught but a slack-knackered malcontent! A peculatin’ whoreson of a man! A louse-infested scab on the shinin’ face o’ Piratude! Go peddle yer wares to the French, for only a Froggy’d be assheaded enough to cock an open ear to the tune o’ yer stumpy clangorband! Why man, the juice’d be runnin’ sideways into his nose from the sheer gravity o’ the situation! Can ye not see the world laughin’ at the state o’ yer sheer ineptitude? Are ye not knowin’ they call ye squbtubbler, wiggletoper, squibberjibber and wuggletump to yer face and them keepin’ the nasty words for the pimply backside o’ ye? That be bound to change, and soon, I warrant! I call upon the nine syphilitic gods o’ the tarry Marianas Trench to send ye down to the lowest slit in the black ‘n’ loftless abyss o’ iniquity, ye bleatin’, sheepy pustule of a rotten peckertip! Alaunt, now MOVE!"
Scurvy pirates indeed, an' the lot o' ye flauntin' yer piratical jabber make me like ter bust a gut. Why not pay a visit to me own groggy blog an leave a watery treat fer the ship's cat, and he bein' the lonliest o' creatures e'er ter grace a quarterdeck.
Fear no man nor beast but pace a careful tread 'twixt fore and aft and there ye be:
