I should think that most people who plan on observing Official Talk Like a Pirate Day will do so by, er, talking like a pirate. Can't think why though!

"Act like a Ninja Day"?

But then, everyone would be assassinating each other.

It's a protest against a US State's Education Policy which states that all children must be taught that creation was the origin of all life. So the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" was created to challenge them, saying that they couldn't deny the existance of the FSM, so they must teach that too. "Talk like a pirate day" is their 'holy' day. Arr.

Saw a bunch of pirates at Leeds statiion last night. They appeared to be finding out that if they'd missed the 2017 to Barnsley they had another 2 hours to wait.

I'd take part in talk like a pirate daym but I don't know any Somali I'm afraid.

In the teaching profession during the late 1980's, there used to be spontaneously declared "Baker Days", where teachers in England & Wales stopped teaching and dedicated that working day to do all the administration demanded by the then Minister of Education, Kenneth Baker.

On the subject of "days", some idiot in Glasgow decided to have a "Pint of Beer" day. The general consensus of opinion was "If you miss it, there's another 364 days in the year!"

Aparently somewhere in America, there is a "hug an Australian day"... :roll:

Based on my experiences that half the US seems to think a British accent is Australian they'll be hugging a lot of non Aussies as well

In June each year there is a "Take your dog to work day"

Never mind about talk like a pirate day. To-day is Trafalgar day and never forget it.

 

[kentuckytony]

But as many a Frenchman would say, "Je suis desole!"

[And to think I forgot to mention Yorktown Day on last Tuesday!]

England expects that every man will do his duty. many men have to ensure brittania rules the waves, to all of them rest in peace. *salutes*. being ex-navy trafalgar day is important to me.
