International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Does this mean we have to kill everyone now, Crush?
They can't exactly do International Talk Like a Ninja Day. I mean Ninjas rarely talk. We gotta be all stealth-like and stuff, y'know.

Before we go any further, there's something we need to be clear about. Pirates were and are bad people. Really reprehensible. Even the most casual exploration of the history of pirates (and believe us, casual is an accurate description of our research) leaves you hip deep in blood and barbarity. We recognize this, all right? We aren't for one minute suggesting that real, honest-to-God pirates were in any way, shape or form worth emulating. So what is it exactly that we're celebrating here, if not pirates? What, you're wondering, is the point? We're going to be painfully honest here, perhaps fatally so. The point is, there is no point. And that's what's fun about Talk Like a Pirate Day specifically, and talking like a pirate in general. |
