Many of you know about this, I'm sure. However I'm starting this thread to decrease the chances that you will be the one who misses out on it!

Manda5678 · 17-09-2005 5:37pm

yay i meant to start a thread to spread the word but it looks like my work has been done for me! yay
i mean yaaaarrr

Haw · 17-09-2005 6:14pm

Yaaar! I be a'lookin' forward to this! Now I can give those I know an excuse for my pirate speakin'! They keep tryin' to get me to "shut up", like the landlubbers they be...but now I've got a "reason"! YAAAAAAARRR!! (and other piratey type things)!!

Scarinae · 17-09-2005 6:34pm

Yarrrr, here's a handy test, mateys!

Scarinae · 17-09-2005 6:37pm

Here's my result:

The Cap'n
Profile: Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scallawag who stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You are Charlie's Angels without so much "Charlie" and decidedly light on the "Angel." Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone - Man, Woman or Individual of Transgender or indecipherable Sexual Identification - to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not

GYAAARRRGH!Did you know that Pirates invented that word as a means of smuggling silent "gh"s and invisible "p"s?

Raphael · 17-09-2005 8:09pm

(I be tempted to try and flame in pirate, just for the laugh. YARRRR!)

Flashling · 17-09-2005 9:41pm

One year we had Yaarr! And "ahoy! Tis absent be he!" ! Lasted for around five people, which I was one of, being top of the roll! Yaarrrgh!

Undergod · 19-09-2005 6:43pm

Gyaaargh, it was difficult to keep up, like last Tuesday when attempted to eliminate all articles from my speech. 'twas more difficult than sailing the sargasso, says I!

Jade Chihuahua · 19-09-2005 7:52pm

Alas, the day, though piratastic in many ways, resulted in no-one attempting to beat me up at all.......some of the bastards even joined in.............Im not sure how to feel right now.
Oh well, YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Outcast · 19-09-2005 8:17pm

Arg, damn landlubbers besmirching the name of pirate!

Dearv · 19-09-2005 8:30pm

GGGAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Mr.D.Leprachaun · 19-09-2005 8:54pm

Me appologies lass for bein' a pedant but ye have forgotten yer "Y"

LordCran · 20-09-2005 6:41pm

Damn scurvy curs in school wouldn't listen to me "YAAAAAAAARRRR"in'. Me shipmates helped though.
Yes, I'm aware the day has ended. But it was fun. So in my circle of friends, monday is now pirate day. Tuesday (today) is ninja day, on which we discuss stealthy and non-stealthy things. Wednesday is a half-day, so there's no time to implement anything. Thursday is Hitchhikers Guide day, on which I talk like Marvin, and make numerous references to "never getting the hang of Thursdays". I've been doing that for a while. Friday is... Ok, I haven't thought of anything for Friday yet. Any suggestions? It must be CTYI related. Bowler appreciation day came up, but was dismissed immediatly.

Haw · 20-09-2005 9:29pm

Yarr! I spoke pirate throughout the day, yet none of the landlubbers joined in! Indeed, they ran away or told me to 'shut up'! The bilge rats! Nonetheless, I was piratelike to the end...yaaaaaaaaaaarrr!!!!

Jim_Are_Great · 21-09-2005 9:34pm

I got sent to the office for answering the roll call as a pirate. Damn authorities. Got lines an' all.

Outcast · 21-09-2005 9:40pm

Saying what? "Arg, I must not speak like a pirate" or "I must not have a laugh"

LordCran · 22-09-2005 4:12pm

Worryingly, I'm still on Bowler appreciation for tomorrow. Wednesday ended up being Karlstock appreciation. It'll be something different every week. Friday will be a different appreciation every week.

Per Liefsonson · 22-09-2005 5:21pm

The disclaimer on that Talk Like a Pirate test is hilarious. Look:

"*Note. School Psychologists, Social Workers and Clinicians should be wary of using the TOTLAPPI when qualifying students for IDEA services, DSM IV identifications (under any axis) or as a part of any professional assessment. Medical professionals are hereby cautioned not to use the TOTLAPPI as a tool to determine appropriate medications and/or dosage. Lawyers are hereby notified that the results of the TOTLAPPI are not admissible in most state and federal courts with the notable exceptions of The Bahamas, French New Guinea, Madagascar and Wyoming. Amnesty International has requested a moratorium on the TOTLAPPI in Death Penalty Cases until the American College of Psychiatry and the British Psychological Association can complete a twelve-year longitudinal study into the TOTLAPPI's efficacy rate and cultural bias. This tool was designed for use solely by Pirate Captains and Web Surfers. Please do not attempt this in any professional setting."

Feral Mutant · 22-09-2005 6:15pm

I just learnt about this on Sunday, people in my school seemed to already know but forgot what day it was, within minutes of me reminding them there were YARRS to be heard all round. Some people are trying to get next years' Debs held on the next Speak Like A Pirate Day.
Incidentally, why be there a strange lack of pirate smileys?

Per Liefsonson · 22-09-2005 6:22pm

I blame inefficent pirate advertisers. They're far too busy raiding ships than doing their job. Although, that could be regarded as advertising in its own right so maybe they're doing it just fine....

YEah, but do it with just characters
