International Talk Like A Pirate Day
 |
| St. Augustine FL 2011 |
the point of the holiday…
there is no point!
silliness is the holiday’s best selling point
originating in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers
aka Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket
The day gained notoriety when Pulitzer Prize-winning American author and columnist Dave Barry
published a Sept. 8, 2002 column about the
fun, and great potential for such a holiday.

I have always had a little 'thing' for pirates! Maybe it is Johnny Depp, maybe it is Captain Morgan, or a combo of both! xo,
We are big on pirates at the Beach House. Dress ups with all the accesories. My son was so into it he has won fancy dress pirate contests. Sadly the computer has now taken over his pirate love but my littlest one is developing a taste for his Pirates of the Caribbean outfit.
Hope all is well with you.
LOL!! I might be the Jolly Knitting Needles! LOL! Your embroidery is just so stinkin' cute! Love it. blessings ~ tanna

Where DO you find this information??? I'm with Barbara F. above...I like the Johnny Depp kind of pirate!
Best,

I like your "There be stitchin" design. Nice! And I'll take Johnny Depp WITH the Capt. Morgan! Arrghghghh, shiver me timbers!
hmmm, how did I miss this holiday?! Now a pirate name...when I was in college we always had a formula for what your 'stage name' would be. Your first name is the name of your first pet and your last name is the name of the street you grew up on. That made my 'stage name' Shadow Meadow. As for a pirate name, will have to think about that one.

Ha, didn't know about this holiday.
I took a pirate name quiz on fidius.org and they gave me the name
"Captain Jenny Rackham" - at least I turned out to be in charge of something :)
Can't wait to tell Drew about this. As you might have guessed from his face paint, he's into being a pirate and loves to talk like one.
I was not aware of this holiday, but I'm marking my calendar now for next year! You are toooooo funny... Gosh, I'll have to think of my name before next year!
I am Madame Clipper, avast-ye!
Is this for real? ha ha Oh, if my teens catch wind of it they will be a lot of pirate talk around here! xo
Yet another holiday, to give you great material...adore your design!!
