‘Twas A grand, glorious day when I awoke. “Wench!” demanded I, “Where be me mornin’ grog?”
But then I learned a right powerful lesson: Be not calling a fair lass a “wench,” if’n she be stronger than thee. Painfully quick the lesson was, and quickly painful.
I woke me offspring up this mornin’ by yellin’, “Avast, ye good for nothing lazy swabs! Get out of those bunks ‘fore I have ye keelhauled!”
Arrrrrrr!
We had a great time talking like pirates on the way to school, and David tried to convince me that, as it was a holiday, he had the day off. I changed the words to our usual Geek song fare, “Can’t you see I’m white and piratey?” and “That Be the Power of Love.”
Reuters covered it with this article.

I once wanted to see a movie about pirates, but I decided against it because it was rated “Arrr!”
Did I use that joke last year?
Oh well, it’s still funny! LOL
Yes, and I used it with the kids in the car this morning.
When I got home last night, David ran up to me and proclaimed, “Dad! All day at school when they called on me, I answered in pirate-talk.”
:: sniff :: I’m so proud of him.
(Actually, I am. It takes a lot of strength of individuality to be willing to be different amongst one’s peer group.)
