    International Talk Like a Pirate Day

    Apparently, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day, during which you're supposed to... em.... talk like a pirate.

    Which, I suppose, is bad news for Under Parrrrrrrr, or indeed Simon Arrrrrrr....

    It's amazing what gets classed as an "International Day" Whatever next?

    I think I did it a bit early...

    (but it wouldn't have been any fun doing it today in my new office, where nobody talks to each other, and I wouldn't have been able to dress up either)

    It's been going for a few years I believe. I don't care how they talk as long as they wear a tricorn whilst doing it....

    A list of other unusual (American) Days, with varying degrees of officialness, commerciality, etc.

    Or maybe we should say "a list of embryonic memes awaiting their turn in the internet incubator".

    BFG 2007 judges: for your consideration - 'Worst use of the word "suddenly" in a post' category.

    PS thank you for providing my new signature - I found it in a gigantic old post wot you wrote.
