International Talk Like A Pirate Day
Front-Ranger:
Go over to the new poll on this Holiday Forum and take a guess as to the real words Long John Silver spoke in Treasure Island. Time Magazine today says that the pirate talk is a fiction dreamed up by Walt Disney and Robert Newton, who played the buccaneer in Disney's version of the story in 1950.

That was my understanding. Especially the Aaargh! ;D
That movie was on TCM not too long ago, but too late for me to watch on a work night.
Jeff Wrangler:
Aaargh! Avast, me hearties!
Tell you what. :laugh:
When I left the office to return home this afternoon, I realized that this morning, without realizing what I was doing, I did something utterly appropriate for International Talk Like a Pirate Day. When I left home this morning, I wore my souvenir cap that commemorates the Whydah, a really genuine pirate ship that came to grief off Cape Cod in 1717.
There is a museum dedicated to the ship in Provincetown.

A joke I heard yesterday on the radio.
Who is a pirate's favorite independent actor?
Peter Saaarrrsgaaargh!
:laugh:
