Ahoy mateys!
Avast me landlubbin’ rats, t’is that time of the year again arrrr. Yes matey, September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate day.
Unlike last year, I actually (very last-minute) created a shirt to commemorate this very important event, only to find out that I wasn’t getting much chance at wearing it today because I had a day off.
Regardless of that, it is good to see that TLAP day has cast its wave across the web like a new schooner would:
The guys pirates at Iliumsoft are giving you a chance at getting 50% off of any title if you dare to call and speak like a real pirate, arrrrrr!
The land lubbers at CrunchGear are giving you a chance at winning 2GB of RAM, again, for talking like a pirate.
And the rest of the world is simply enjoying the day …
In case you have not gotten your pirattitude on, head on over to the official TLAP page for some information on how to pronounce words like a real sword buckler.
The TLAP team also created a nice video of the 5 As every pirate should remember and a funnny song.
Kudos a free keg of Grog for Emma Rault for hooking me up with this, most lovely, picture, made by Astrid Recker:
