International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2011

Yarrr!!! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day 2011!!!. This be the day that all them thar landlubbers get to splice their mainbraces and embrace their inner Blackbeard. Tis a pity it only comes once a year.

But wait, look at this news report – the Pirate Party won 8.5% of the vote in Berlin’s local elections yesterday. Suddenly pirates are becoming politically mainstream, even if they don’t have parrots or a hook fetish. It’s all Johnny Depp’s fault.

Anyway, I leave you with my favourite pirate joke:

Q: How much does it cost a pirate to get his ear pierced?

A: A buccaneer!

Thank you. Now go talk like a pirate!

Comic Sans goes into a bar…

…bartender says "Sorry, we don’t serve your type."

This afternoon, this joke lead to a debate as to whether the word ‘type’ was interchangeable with the word ‘font’. I suspect we may have been over-analysing…

Two parrots sitting on a perch…

…One looks at the other and says “Can you smell fish?”

Thank you, thank you, I’m here all night. Try the veal.

Shakespeare walks into a pub…

…and goes up to the landlord. “I’ll have a pint please mate,” he says.

Now, obviously he might not have said it like that, because he’s Shakespeare and a poetic genius, and therefore there would have been more hey-nonny-nonnies, but stick with me.

The landlord looks at him and says “No.”

Maybe he was familiar with the Shakespearean authorship controversy. Or maybe he’d seen Keanu in Much Ado About Nothing. Who knows. Needless to say, Shakespeare is outraged.

“Why can’t I have a pint?! I’m a paying customer!!! What’s the problem?!”

The landlord looks at him and says…

“You’re bard.”

I’ll get my coat.
