Talk Like A *Parrot* Day???

    
          
I've told you that I work with some of the most awesome folk on the planet, right?

Remember how last September 19th, several landlubbers (including my husband) went all out for TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY? (Which, if you haven't put it together, is TODAY?)

Well... James absolutely, positively topped himself this year.

May I present a PARROT with a PIRATE on his shoulder...

That's one evil beak on that Parrot. You should send the photo to the talk like a pirate website so they can get our joke.

You're putting our developers to shame ... I believe they write pirate comments in their code on Sept 19, but, nobody dresses up!

I'm sitting at the library while my kids make Pirate Hats and watch The Muppet Pirate Movie. Stupid me. I thought it was just in my library! That man ROCKS!

I had an ephinany in about 1981, when I visited Cornwall and was shocked to find that all of the locals sounded like pirates! Cornish folk are ancestraly sea-faring, and I think it was Wallace Beery's Long John Silver in "Treasure Island" (1934) who set our modern ear for pirate talk toward cornish-inflected English.

OMG! I thought all this was a joke about it being "talk like a pirate day" and all.

Obviously I was wrong.

That is awesome!
