Argh you talkin to me?

Posted by Chris on September 19, 2009

Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day, maties!

Yes, it be that time of the year again. a time when all good pirates dig up the buried treasure an make those around them walk the plank.

I’ve absolutely no idea why the idea of talking like a pirate captures so many people’s imaginations, but it seems to.

Dave Eggers. when starting his school, decided on a pirate theme.  Apple always considered themselves to be the pirates of Silicon Valley.  And the Pirate Bay is challenging plenty of assumptions about how software distribution works.

Argh.  Just argh.  Just because.

    this is a fun picture… and as kids we all made ourselves sound like a pirate and i think it just carried over into adulthood. and kids love to hear other ppl do it too.
