[skunk]

Exactly what I was going to say.

I think the lot of you should be keel-hauled, you scurvy bastards.

 

[Chundles]

Yarrgh...

Tis almost finished down 'ere in the South Pacific.


yarrr.....

 

[bartelby]

I can't be bothered this year!

All I can muster is a Yarrrhhh!

 

[MacBoobsPro]

I think the post should be edited and turned into a Poll to see if we should get the day off work for this all important International Holiday... sez I!

 

[mad jew]

When do we get International Talk Like A Ninja Day?

 

[Abstract]

I want to invent a "Talk Like a Mime Day," and it should be an American holiday.

*snicker*

 

[Chundles]

When do we get International Talk Like A Ninja Day?

There already is one, but you'll never see or hear it coming. For the ninja is the expert in the art of surprise...

 

[MacBoobsPro]

When do we get International Talk Like A Ninja Day?

Thats the day after International Talk like a Mime day!

Harrrrrrrrrr!!!!

I think it would help to have an Australian or British accent ... something I don't have.

 

[mad jew]

Check eBay for some good prices. Just be careful not to get ripped off. Those crazy Brits can't be trusted.

Yeah, you guys would sound like Yarrrrrrrrrr.....

You can't get the guttural "YAARRGGHHH!!!"

 

[Abstract]

"Duuuude. Like 'Yaaaargh', dude."


You definitely need a British accent of some sort to really be a pirate. I can't imagine a pirate with a clear American accent. Even South African accents would be better for the task.

 

[iGav]

Oh god please no.

Your stereotypical pirate would have a Bristol or Cornish accent, for some reason I've never fully understood...

 

[apachie2k]

Even the French and Spanish pirates? A true mystery.....

[SilentPanda]

The guys that started this day were on "Wife Swap" last night... *shudder*

Also I believe it is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. You think pirates have a nation?!

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Indeed – that's the strange thing about them.

It must be something they learn at Pirate School.

Definitely International.

 

[mad jew]

Do you reckon pirates have an International Talk Like A MacRumors Member Day? I wonder if it'd be international or just national...

Mmmm, I can just see them hobbling around on their peg legs with their eye patches, saying things like "Apple is going to frakkin' implode if they don't put Memron in the macBOOK soon. OMG!!!!11111"

How could I have forgotten??!? Umm.. keelhaul.
