Last years April Fools was pirate day.

I think the eye patch thing is the newest theme put on by the demi's. I've noticed too.

You're talking about "Talk Like A Pirate" Day, right?

I know of that particular day (we drove all the teachers at school crazy with it last year :D ) but I'm talking about something different. Last year on April Fools day, every member's ranking was given a pirate equivalent - "Matey", "Coxswain", "Town Clerk" etc...

I suspect it might be in honour of a certain eyepatch-clad poster (http://forums.macrumors.com/member.php?u=17437) becoming a Demi-God. But I might be wrong.

Arrr!

This pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants.

The bartender says, "Hey, you know you've got a steering wheel in your pants?"

The pirate says, "Yarrr..... it's drivin' me nuts!"

Ah, very observant of you!That's because I'm not a Demi – I've got two working eyes, see.

Quite observant of you, my friend! Top of the class...

Who said that? Who turned out the lights? :D

As for contributing, I had been putting it off for almost a year, and it was time. :cool: My ranking was nice and exclusive, yes, but now I can move up the ranks secretly and other members will eventually wonder what my actual rank is, just like Mr. Anderson and the others... ;) :cool:

P.S. Arrr matey.

Ah, don't worry about it, at times it's more hassle than you might think - the whole depth perception thing - well, at least in my case...

Oh, and I suppose instead of an eye patch we should be calling it an iPatch. :cool:
