International Talk Like a Pirate Day
September 19th. Apparently talking like a pirate is the ultimate aphrodisiac, at least according to talklikeapirate.com.
(Left: Even the Leader of the Free World supports International Talk Like a Pirate Day: "This podium be high, says I. Yar.")
Some pirate pickup lines, if you want to try it, include:
* Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
* Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
* Well ... blow me down? (This worked for Bill Clinton. Allegedly.)
* Prepare to be boarded.
* They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.
* Wanna shiver me timbers?
* Is that a belayin' pin in yer britches, or are ye ... (this one is never completed)
* So, tell me, why do they call ye, "Cap'n Feathersword?"
* That's quite a cutlass ye got thar, what ye need is a good scabbard!
* I've crushed seventeen men's skulls between me thighs!
There's also a handy translator, if you want to talk about recent politics in pirate-speak. You can be intellectual and take advantage of the horny-making language of the pirate.
See? (From the ABC news link I posted last post.)
(Left: Mark "Arrr!" Latham) The pirate speaks,"Opposition Leader Kim Beazley be considerin' takin' legal action after t' former leader o' t' ALP, Mark Latham, launched a scathin' attack on him ahead o' t' launch o' Mr Latham's highly damagin' diaries.
"As part o' a series o' interviews t' promote t' diaries, Mr Latham has told t' ABC's Lateline program tonight that he does not think Mr Beazley be fit t' be Labor leader. "I wouldn't make him t' toilet cleaner in Parliament House, let alone t' Leader o' t' Opposition," he said.
Mark Latham attacks nearly every one o' his former colleagues, but be particularly critical o' Mr Beazley's character, describin' him as a scurvy dog, and he dismisses Mr Beazley's image o' decency as a sham.
He has told t' ABC's Enough Rope program that Mr Beazley ran a six-year campaign o' smear and innuendo. "He tried t' fit me up with this sexual harassment slur for six years," he said. "T' old Sergeant Schultz thing about, he knew nothin' about it, doesn't wash with me. He was starboard into it."
Mr Beazley vehemently rejects t' allegations. "They be completely fanciful, absolutely wrong, absolutely untrue," he said. Mr Latham has defended his decision t' publish his tell-all diaries, arguin' they be a frank account o' what happened durin' his leadership.

LOL !
I am totally going to put that translator to work tomorrow.
Here's the Gettysburg address
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated t' t' proposition that all men be created equal."
"Now we be engaged in a great civil war, testin' whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We be met on a great battlefield o' that war. We have come t' dedicate a portion o' that field, as a final restin' place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It be altogether fittin' and proper that we should do this."
"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. T' brave men, livin' and went t' Davy Jones' locker, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power t' add or detract. T' world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It be for us t' livin', rather, t' be dedicated here t' t' unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. "
"It be rather for us t' be here dedicated t' t' great task remainin' before us—that from these honored went t' Davy Jones' locker we take increased devotion t' that cause for which they gave t' last full meaaye o' devotion—that we here highly resolve that these went t' Davy Jones' locker shall not have went t' Davy Jones' locker in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth o' freedom—and that government o' t' people, by t' people, for t' people, shall not perish from t' earth."
