The Sometimes Holiday

  • Welcome to the one and only, official, accept-no-substitutes Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site.

    Ever since Dave Barry mentioned us in his nationally syndicated newspaper column in 2002, what once was a goofy idea celebrated by a handful of friends has turned into an international phenomenon that shows no sign of letting up. Maybe you read about us on line.. Maybe you caught one of our radio or TV interviews. Or maybe you just stumbled on to our site while googling around for sites your mother probably wouldn't approve of. Or perhaps you're one of the millions of people from South Africa to the South Pole, from New York to the Pacific Northwest, who've made it your own personal excuse to party like pirates every September 19th (and sometimes for days before and after)!

    However you got here, stick around an' learn all about September 19 - International Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Arrrrrgh!

OK, same joke every year at this time but it's a good one.

A pirate captain walks into a restaurant in a Scottish seaport and asks the waitress what's the special for today.

In her thick brogue she answers, "Rrrib rroast 'nd rrice."

"ARR", says he, "you surely rolllls your R's."

She blushes and replies, "You should see me when I wear hi-heels."

But next month we have Columbus Day, and on or about that day we should have...

NATIONAL TALK LIKE AN ITALIAN DAY!

To give you a sample of what I mean watch the following video.
