I went on to Flickr today and saw that they’ve got a pirate flag on their logo. I done a search to see why, and it turns out it’s because it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day today.
Why is it I sometimes wish people would get together and do something daft and pointless like an International Talk Like a Pirate Day, but when they do, I think they’re a bunch of wee geeky fannies and I want to ruin it for them.
Am I a cunt?
Yes. Arrrr.
Thanks a lot Limmy; now I’m fired.
All I said was “Yarr, show me where he touched you, me hearty”
Who’s idea was this? Some fucker trying to sell a book or something… ?
Why not make September 20th 2007 the International Talk Like A Cunt Day, all things cunty and cuntiful permitted. Y’arr.
What do you call a paedophile pirate?
Aaarrrr Kelly.
id ruin it anaw.
cabin boy says to his pirate captain,
“captain, how do you keep in shape?”
captain says
“arrrr, gym lad.”
Yes
I turn my nose up at that kind of carry on an aw. How can folk organise something like that? International Talk Like A Pirate Day? I mean, come on. If I said to myself one day “I’m going to motivate people around the world to… talk like a pirate!” I’d go and hang myself.
Yaaar… sorry.
How very kitsch.
Is there really much of a difference between the pirate accent and the traditional farmer’s accent or is it just me?
And yes you are a cunt.
Aye y’ar! Its human nature

From SomethingAwful:
“Before the Internet I liked pirates, I liked ninjas, and I liked zombies. It turns out everyone else in the galaxy felt the exact same way and has spent the last 15 years on the Internet ramming all three (with the possible additions of monkeys and robots) down our throats as if they are god’s gift to comedy.
Pirates, ninjas, and zombies are not inherently funny. Adding them to something does not automatically make it better. To the contrary, the three have been so abused by Internet writers and comedians that mentioning any of the three is anathema to laughter. They are burdens to be overcome by the humor.
If you think differently, if you honestly believe any of these things are automatically funny, I have some grave news for you. I’ll deliver the news in a pirate Maddox style so you can appreciate it:
You are fuckdumb as a shit in a pant.
Some comedy does prevail despite the pirates, ninjas, and zombies being stacked against it. Shaun of the Dead was hilarious, for example. You might want to note that it was actually a major motion picture and not a blog called “Zombie Robot: The Ninja Pirates” or a web comic about Jesus and Chuck Norris fighting a zombie apocalypse.”
“Pssst!! Anyone want to buy some knock off DVDs? Playstation games? XBOX 360?”
Would this count, or does it have to be the sea faring type?
even wikipedia acknowledges international talk like a pirate day. what is the world coming to? on another note….i think i might have scurvy.
Got in on this lasty year when I had my blog hijscked by Blaaask Jaaak Baaastard, the most evil pirate ever to sail the Leeds and Liverpool canal.
I haven’t done anything this year but I am planning a Blaaack Jaaack Baaastard movie.
I like to dress up and talk in silly voices, people should do it more often.
Everybody (who’s everybody?) says Robert Newton looks like Keith Moon, but he looks like Rab C in that picture.
Oh-aaaarrrrrr
i watched a video with long dong silver in the other night. was disappointed when there was little or no reference to pirates. it was a ‘pirate’ video though …
I’m sick to death of hearing about Pirates and fucking Ninjas all the time, they’re shite. Can we not have something like International Rape & Pillage like a Viking Day instead?
No, you’re not a cunt! In fact I’d help you ruin it for them. I can’t stand pirates and I can’t stand pirate talk even more. The pointlessness of this day hurts my brain.
hi, hows things?
Yes, it does make you a cunt, but we’re all cunts really, aren’t we? I am.
I swear to god- I think these things are made up by fuckin breakfast radio djs- just to gie them something to talk about. That fucker Jooolian off eh XFM got about 6 hours worth out of it this mornin!
It happens to be a very important day for us Pastafarians. May t’ Flyin’ Spaghetti Monster touch you all with his noodley appendage, arrrrr!
I like pirates…
Loat ay pish!
Errol Flynn did not talk like a pirat..
What do you call a paedophile pirate?
Aaarrrr Kelly.
Yes, you are a cunt. Apparently a joyless cunt who can’t understand others with a sense of humor enjoying a wacky day. Jealous, else you wouldn’t want to wreck it for them. With a very poor command of the English language.
