September 19, 2010 ~ Talk Like A Pirate Day

Avast ye landlubbers and shiver me timbers...It's talk like a pirate day!!!  Here's a fun holiday that seems to have caught on big time.  Not sure if the Disney Movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" had anything to do with it, but it did seem to become very popular about the same time the movie was popular.  Of course I'll use any reason I have to watch Johnny Depp, even if I am old enough to be his Momma. 

My personal preferences aside, if you're looking for more info about Pirate Day, events, instructions, or ideas, this is the website to visit...Talk Like a Pirate.com hosted by Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket.  Tons of fun for the whole family, and even a section on how to talk like a pirate in German and Dutch.

As evidence of the popularity of this day, you can find lots of great cards and invitations at Greeting Card Universe...here a but a few of your choices...
