International Talk Like A Pirate Day

International Talk Like A Pirate Day, me hearties, be a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by two swashbuckling Yanks, John Baur ('Ol' Chum Bucket') and Mark Summers ('Cap'n Slappy'), who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when every bilge rat in the world should be talkin' like a pirate. For example, instead of "hello", an observer of this holiday would greet his mates with "Ahoy, me hearty!" each September 19

Dave Barry, who writes a nationally-syndicated humour column, picked up the idea in 2002 and promoted the day. The day became "international" that same year when people in Australia learned of the holiday from Barry's column. By 2003, with the release of such pirate-flavoured films as Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl the holiday was established and celebrated by sea dogs and landlubbers alike the world over.
