International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2010

[Andrew]

Ahoy mateys! It be this weekend. (Official Website) Anyone do anything special or go all out with this?

I'll probably have to play a bit of Sid Meier's Pirates, just to take advantage of the easter egg. Also got an email in today about a Telltale Games special, the entire first season of the episodic Monkey Island games for $4.95 so I reckon I'll be picking that up. Probably talk like a pirate here in this thread.

A couple of fun links:
Translate pages from English into Pirate English
Google Pirate

And here's a pirate emoticon:

I'm not much of a pirate but one of my best mates is. Every single costume party, he is there in pirate gear. It's quite embarrassing for his girlfriend.

EDIT: I'm "Dead men don't bite." nay much o' a pirate but one o' me best mates be. Ere single costume party, he be thar in pirate gear. It's "I Needs Ya Gold!" quite embarrass'n fer his girlfriend.

The other night I downloaded Sons Of Anarchy S03E02, True Blood's season finale and Ultimate Fighter season 12 episode 1. Thankfully Smallville is back soon so I can start downloading that and I'm hoping the new Protest The Hero album leaks early so I can cop that too. Definitely giving the new Linkin Park album a miss though.

[Andrew]

A mighty haul t' be sure.

Thankfully Smallville is back soon

24th.

Definitely giving the new Linkin Park album a miss though.

Even after I declared the one track the best they've done in years. See if I don't tell the police about your Filipino slaves next time.

Avast! Tales of Monkey Island Season 1 be on its way to my hold.
