Very Important Reminder for Everyone by Stephen Baxter

Arrr....

Ok, so it might not be that day yet for most of you, but I'm there. It's International Talk Like A Pirate Day! And... I'm... stuck at work all day. Bother.

*tries to imagine showing up at work looking even remotely piratical*

*tries to imagine talking in piratespeak to anyone there*

Hmm...

Anyhow, reminder to all - when it hits your part of the world, enjoy! Take part! Say 'Arrr' and 'Shiver me timbers' and whatever else you feel like. It'll be fun!

If you need help with the proper language, use this.

very disappointing... by Stephen

... I had to explain to pretty much everyone what day it was. And I had to explain it again to a few people. And every time I saw one person and said 'Arr' I was asked if I was going to say that every time I saw her and I said "Arr".

Seriously considered doing so over the PA too, but in the end decided to be sensible. That didn't stop accusations flying a couple of times. I'm fairly certain I didn't do it though... *ponders*

Who doesn't know about Talk like a Pirate Day. My chem and physics teacher in high school celebrated it every year...Though he ignored Mol Day...hmmm...

Anyways, It's now officially Talk Like a Pirate Day in my Native land of California. So, I leave you with this...

Ye scurvy dog! Arrrr....
