Don’t be forgettin’ to talk like a pirate today, lubbers!

No, not that kind of booty.  Sheesh, you people are dirty-minded. 

It seems that my predilection for pirates is shared.   It’s common enough for Think Geek to sell all sorts of pirate stuff. 

Ever been in a situation and wondered What Would a Pirate Do?   Well, you can have your question answered with a Pirate Spin Folder.  It also comes in ninja version, but everybody knows pirates are far sexier than ninjas.

You can also adorn your office or cubicle with a mini Blackbeard action figure to keep you company on the long days of drudgery. 

You can drink your morning grog ration from a pirate mug and you can spread the word by wearing a pirate t-shirt.

If you don’t feel much like working (and frankly, who does these days?), you can idle away the hours pirate-style with a constructible card game  or an deck of pirate playing cards.

Arrrrr. 

I know it’s a while away yet, but I think we should all celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day on September 19th.   Make sure you check out the How-To guide.   We wouldn’t want anyone to commit a social faux pas like confusing "Avast" with "Ahoy".   If you fancy using your pirate lingo to appeal to the opposite sex (or the same sex, pirates don’t discriminate), make sure you master the pirate pick up lines.   It may even help reduce global warming.
