As I noted last year (right about this time) it's September 19th, which means it's Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Let's compare Talk Like a Pirate Day to other holidays:
Let's compare Talk Like a Pirate Day to other holidays:
- On the 4th of July we light off fireworks. Today, it's acceptable to set off cannons.
- On the 14th of February, you ask someone to be your valentine. Today, it's acceptable to ask someone to be your wench.
- On the 31st of October, you dress up in a costume and ask for candy. Today, it's acceptable to dress up like a pirate and plunder candy!
- On the 17th of March, everyone is Irish and therefore gets appropriately drunk. Today, everyone's a pirate, and can therefore get appropriately drunk.
- On the 12th of October, we celebrate Columbus crossing the Atlantic. Today, we lament letting all three ships make it to the New World.

On any other day, it's considered a handicap to be missing an eye or a limb. Today, it's an asset!
Isn't Columbus day Oct. 8?
Columbus Day changes year to year. It was the 8th last year, this year it'll be the 13th...
