International Talk Like a Pirate Day is celebrated the world over in almost every country on the Planet. While not a National Holiday this event is widely celebrated throughout the cities and towns of America and Europe. The Facebook group boast over 13,000 members and this phenomenon just keeps growing every year - on September 19th
"John, I was editing this week's Dave Barry column and it's about ... Is this you?"
It was. The nationally syndicated columnist and Pulitzer Prize winning writer of "distinguished commentary" (the Pulitzer committee's description, not his own) became convinced of the great potential of such a holiday. Or maybe he had run out of fresh column ideas and didn't want to do another one on toilet training his infant daughter. Either way, he had written the column.
And hell broke loose. Go to Talk Like a Pirate.com for more information

And now, to celebrate the holiday, here is "The Night Before Christmas Aboard the Festering Bail, as written by Cap'n Slappy for "The Curacao Caper."
The Festering Boil is the pirate ship commanded by Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket in a series of stories that appeared in their blog. The fifth story, "The Curacao Caper," begins at Christmas, with the crew of the Boil in a low state, having just barely escaped the clutches of their sworn enemy, Lady Fanny, and defeated her plot to take over the world. To lift their spirits, crew member (and shop steward) Cementhands McCormack regales them with his version of the classic holiday poem.
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the ship
There was nothing to munch on – not even a chip.
The flagons were empty.
The rum was all gone.
All pirates were sober and would be till dawn.
(The crew moaned on cue – in keeping with tradition.)
With the crew in their hammocks I’d long hit the sack
For the watchmen were watchful, there’d be no attack.
When down on the wharf there arose such a ruckus
That I fell from my bunk on my back and my tuchus.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
But Cementhands McCormack and four kegs of beer!
(The crew cheered on cue – in keeping with tradition.)
His nosey was rosey from having been drunk
But a selfish man, never – of us he had thunk.
He’d gambled with locals who weren’t that clever
“Such patsies!” he said, “I could pick them forever.”
Doubloons were still spilling from his big britches pockets.
“They gambled their watches, their bracelets and lockets!”
But then he had thoughts of his mates on the boat.
“What good are my winnings? To whom can I gloat?”
And then he remembered there was naught to drink
And this made him thoughtful – the big man would think.
“Well, it’s Christmas” he thought, “And there’s nothing to do –
Should I blow it on harlots? Nah – BOOZE FOR THE CREW!”
(In keeping with tradition, the crew recites the phrase, “BOOZE FOR THE CREW” with Ol’ Chumbucket followed by traditional raucous cheering)
So the big man bought kegs, he bought bottles, a flagon.
And he piled them up high in a little red wagon
That he dragged cross the cobblestone streets of the town
Some bottles fell off and the flagon fell down
But he grabbed the last bottle, in his pants he did tuck it.
“This one’s for the captain – and his pal, Chumbucket!”
What joy there arose when he finally arrived
For the lack of the drink made the crew feel deprived
Now they toasted and boasted, they guzzled and swilled
Had the wagon been bigger, they would have been killed
By alcohol poisoning – no doubt about it
But it wouldn’t be piratey Christmas without it.
And the big man, he bellowed before he got plastered,
“MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF YOU PIRATEY BASTARDS!”
Rebecca Adams Trudy Tallaus Colleen Mackie Happy Piratemas
Aaaaargh...Merry Christmas Mateys!!!!!
We be hopin' ye be havin' a Merry Christmas, all ye scalawags

Avast! We got this e-message in a bottle today from Dr. Kathleen Cornely of the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Providence College.
"Just wanted to let you guys know that on Tuesday, I informed my biochemistry class that it was “Talk Like a Pirate Day” and that it was related to our class topic for the day! How? We were discussing the protein collagen. Collagen makes up connective tissue in bones, teeth, ligaments, muscle, tendons, etc. An important part of the biosynthetic process of collagen involves an enzyme, prolyl hydroxylase, which doesn’t work unless it has vitamin C! As I am sure that you know, many early pirates suffered from the disease scurvy (which produces weakened collagen, due to the lack of vitamin C)."
You know those wild and crazy biochemists! We want to go to the next faculty party, and that's a fact!
Holy shit I thought this page had died...
But if they're emulating pirates, all they have to do is invade the next faculty party and steal their valuables
P-) Arrrrrrrr.
Take whatever you can, give nothing back! Rrrrrrr!
Thanks for showing up at my party!
Aaaar, those limey dawgz

Well THAT'S disappointing! Krispy Kreme Doughnuts has decided NOT to take part in Talk Like a Pirate Day this year.
No doughnuts! At least, the corporation isn't playing, though individual stores might. But all is not lost.
For the last four years if you dressed like a pirate and walked into a Krispy Kreme on Sept. 19 they gave you – free – a dozen glazed doughnuts.
Not this year. They're not doing the promotion this year.
Are we gonna let those corporate cruller cooks put a hole in our holiday fun! Hell no!
I'm not telling you NOT to deck yerself out in your finest pirate togs on Tuesday and go to your nearby Krispy Kreme. Just remember that they probably won't give you a free dozen doughnuts for your trouble – though we pirates can be fairly persuasive. But I plan to go in anyway – in full regalia, to show them what they're missing. If you do too, you'll get a chance to express your indignation – nay, your outrage! – that they've gone over the side and left us in the lurch!
But wait! All is not completely lost. Our friends at Long John Silvers (at least they still love us) have upped the ante.
This year they are NOT offering a free piece of fish for those who come in dressed like a pirate. Oh no! They're offering a bar of gold!
Not gold gold, of course. Don't be silly. But this Sept. 19 they're giving away, free, their new Deep Fried Twinkie!
That's sort of like a bar of gold, if you turn your head a little and squint your eyes.
You can still go to Krispy Kreme and scarf down a dozen glazed doughnuts. You know what you get? Diabetes. Argh, you get diabetes.
Don't go to Krispy Kreme at all. Put on your pirate clothes, and go to the closest local doughnut shop you can find.
Arrrr what self respecting pirate eats Krispy Creme donuts? They should be scoffing Cornish Pasties and quaffing cider by the gallon. AHARRRR! (Penzance is just down the road...)
Every year I look forward to free donuts and fish, which results in lovely diarrhea! It is my Birthday as well! Now, what pillaging and plundering be left? Is this the end of the Golden Age of Piracy? At least my cutlass is sharp...me thinks someone needs to walk the plank!!!
KK in Australia is still on board. Though they've cut the booty down to only 4 doughnuts this year. :/
... i got free donuts the last two yrs from krispy kremes 😢... i don't think this long john thing is even here in australia 😂
No loss. Krispy Kreme are sad travesties of doughnuts. Australia is well sorted for mobile doughnut vans, and I daresay very few would bat an eyelid at piratical garb. Hint: Keep those hangers, dirks and cutlasses politely sheathed, mateys.
To be fair, the areas in which Krispy Kreme mostly ply its trade took a big hit over the past month with Irma, Harvey, and so on. And maybe they don't have the capital to fix everything up and provide a little fun. Just a thought, dressing up like a pirate is fun though.
They will give you free doughnuts if you go in and say Argh mate gives me a dozen doughnuts 🍩 or I'll run ye threw with me sword. 😄
I'll still have the pirate theme for me birthday party, since the thieving so n so's absconded with my birthday!
Avast what a crew of misbegotten rouges. There was one really fun day each year and they have ruined it. May the corporate leadership of KK be cursed withe the fleas of 10,000 scurvy infested baboons
O'er at their FaceyBook they be rabbitin' on about a "full schedule o' events" as though any were so loved, so revered, so enjoyed as OUR day? It be more'n a body can take! This be why we drink! Ya ask me it be clearer'n sea glass that they've been taken over by the East India Company!
www.piratesontheprom.co.uk/gallery More pirates than you can shake a cudgel at here in Penzance, me hearties! The town keeps trying to break the record for 'Most pirates gathered in one place' but missed out this year by not very many.
Wow, and I was just about to write a blog post telling everyone to go to Krispy Kreme! I'm glad Long John's is still in, but I'd rather have fish than a Twinkie. 🙂
Boycotting Krispy Kreme. My little grandchildren LIVED for this every year! They ate a donut, then donated the rest to their preschool class. BOO to Krispy Kreme - they'll be so disappointed!
Regardless of what people might think, it was fun and they did schill out a dz donuts for kids in costume so talk shit all you want they don't do that for trick or treaters
Bummer about Krispy Kreme 🙁 . Don't have a Long John Silvers here, but a fried Twinkie doesn't appeal to me anyway.
It's a bummer. Not the healthiest thing, but magical none the less-to see a child get their very own dozen doughnuts! We'll just do what we did before KK jumped on the bandwagon and celebrate without them!
I was seriously disappointed to hear this considering I would actually be near a krispy kreme for the first time this rolled around. But I will still go in full regalia to krispy kreme, my doctors appointments, and the like!
Arrr, scurvy bilge rats they be! But all the Krispy Kremes in our cove shipped out yearns ago- so we not be worried. Not doin' enough business they were.
ARRRRR! Happy Talk loike a Poirate day, shipmates! Today I be goin' to St Ives, which is near Penzaaance, but this yur bein Cornwall, we do all talk loike Pirates every day, see, so every day is TLAP day! Yay! (Pass me parrot, matie!)
Storm corporate headquarters and make them walk the plank out the boardroom window! AAArrrgggghhh!!!!
Yes, VERY disappointed with Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, but I already told them a while ago when I heard, that they were making a BIG mistake as every year TLAPD gets bigger and bigger. They mentioned TLAPD on the local Washington DC news today already. The really cute pics Krispy Kreme used to post afterwards were gRRRReat PRRRRRRR too! Their loss!! Going to Mutiny Pirate Bar & Island Grille tonight for their TLAPD celebration and dinner. One of the best pirate and tiki bars around and the food lives up to the drinks!!! 😍☠️⚔️🏝️🍵🍹❤️
Even sadder, they are a far cry from the fluffy, cloud-like confection they once were. I was very excited to spot a store then even more disappointed to discover the doughnuts were little, greasy things that were not a shadow of their former selves. Never did see a company destroy itself on success like KK!
I'm going to be streaming Black Flag on Twitch, decked out for fun, and some of my twitch community members are doing the same!

We were saddened, but not at all surprised, to learn that demolition began last week on the old YMCA in Albany, Oregon, with no mention of the pivotal role the old place played in the social history of the early 21st century.
The Mid-Willamette Vally YMCA was the site where Cap’n Slappy and I came up with the idea of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. And now it is no more. Yeah, kinda makes us misty eyed.
We’ve told the story many – MANY – times, about how Slappy and I, under the delusion that we could get back in shape, were playing weekly racquetball games at the Y. One day we started insulting each other in pirate palaver, and before you know it, we had created a holiday.
That crazy idea back in 1995 grew quietly for five years, then exploded in 2002 and took the world like Morgan’s fleet taking Maracaibo.

Buildings is just fer landlubbers! Why Davey hisself won't even accept it when it done fer. It's nothing but Shark bait now!!!
Have you heard if Krispy Kreme is doing Pirate Day this year?!
There should be a bronze plaque.
I took my son to swimming lessons there. A few years before your revolutionary day, I dare say.... good times.
Pirates play racquetball? You learn something new every day.
As you don't know, how could you?, I share a birthday w your ex-wife. So, for me, 9/19, is bittersweet. It's a perfectly good day, & a perfectly good day for a birthday. I have lost my point. Arrr.... Remembering the old Y in Rochester NY, fondly, ☠
I swam there... 😊
Racquetball and pirates...my two favorite things. Arrrrrrrrrrr!!! 😢

This morning, I'll dance all over the deck of The Festering Boil like Belle in "Beauty and the Beast," singing about what dopes I work with.
-Cap'n Slappy
Speaking as one of your dopey co-workers, I look forward to your capering. - Ol' Chumbucket
Do you have a magic singing chamber pot? And what's its outlook on life?
And your co-workers will be doing exactly the same.
Just like to say cap'n slappy what a great find and tonic you are to the start of the day ! Being someone who often talks like a pirate for no apparent reason , other than because I can. My boyf asked if I knew of ITLAPD when we were in full swing of talking like a pirate. "You're kidding me " I said "I'm gonna google it". Well ! shiver me timbers you do exist. Well done and keep up the good work ⚓️

Cap'n Slappy's Household Hints: When cleaning out your pantry, you can probably safely assume a food has met its expiration date if the fore-mentioned date has faded off the box.
If the box be a can, And in the can be some Spam Then there be no need to fret. Because you ain't reached that date yet! Arrrrrrgggggg. I be a Pirate poet
Nar, gives it a wee taste, just ta be sure.
Ye can't arrrrrrrrbitrarily be throwin' rations overboard when the quality of a thing is beyond yer ken without havin' a look see first of the matter yerself! With the one good eye! Ye can't do it or mutiny will be afoot! (A peg, whateverrrr...)
If it tastes like playdough smells, it's probably not food ya ought to be eating..
So I help at the local food bank they say a year after the date on the package unless it's mayo then it was 3yrs after the date
Found a can of sage in the pantry the other day that's older than my oldest brother.
Are you sure? I thought it needed to fail the sniff test. What kind of guy hasn't squirmed on the floor in agony while explaining to his wife "see, it was fine". ?!?
Finally the one to work too.
Try it on the dog first.
Feed it to the cabin boy....arrrrr!
Only one way to know for sure!!!
So this should be ok then?!
Indeed, or is in Roman numerals!
Thanks Cap'n
LMAO too funny

Cap'n Slappy quote o' the day:
This is going to be a "flying unicorns farting rainbows that explode in a torrential downpour of rum from the sky on thirsty pirates below" kind o' day! Brace yerselves!
Yarr, if only it would rain ye olde spiced rum from the sky. I'd take out me pots,pans,barrels and chumbuckets and collect the precious liquid booty.
Let's bottle it up and sell it to the landlubbers!
But... where has all the Rhum gone?!?
Charmaine Kember Tanay Rielly-Hare remember when dion would do this in class if he read from the textbook ?
We can only hope......
Why not play a Pirate board game while chasing those flying unicorns! www.kickstarter.com/projects/1637269442/the-pirate-republic-0/

Oh my gawd Becky, look at the size of her booty. She be lookin like one of them Pirate captain's wenches.
Arrrrgggggg did ye say booty slamming???
You're so secure you obviously don't care HOW you look.
Old farmer sees woman bend over, mutters "Haven't seen a sight like that since I used a horse to pull the plow".
We put keelhauling in our pirate board game...love the post.
Ye wants ter be skinny? Put down the fork!
If you look at the facebook language setting, Pirate is an option.

Were you and the lads boarding the last train to Clarksville on a pleasant valley Sunday, matey?
Arrrrrggggg. It be jokes like that which tork me peter!!!!!
Teachin' a young sailor the ways o the sea...
Made me laugh! Keep em coming for sure!!! We do need these quotes these days!

Keep them quotes coming, Cap'n. The world needs your wisdom as much as they need the most holiest of holidays you invented. My son and I have celebrated it since he was 2 months old. He's always liked pirate talk

Cap'n Slappy quote o' the day. "I will defend ye from cannon balls, sharks and scurvy - but not seagull poop. When it comes to shit falling like rain, ye're on yer own." (I suggest ye look into a disposable umbrella.)
Is this, advice to reporters at a Trump press conference ?
DropBears! Be ye A'feared!

Never be afeard o'the blessings of a seagull 😉
I was walking with my boss one day near the Portland, Maine harbor and a gull did a direct hit on him, hard thing to keep a straight face and pretend you feel sorry for him, Take that you landlubber.
Never fear! Me tomato plant will take all ye can shovel

Happy New Year to all o' me darlin's out thar! May 2017 bring ye tons o' treasure, barrels o' rum and few ass-barnacles. (The secret to fewer ass barnacles is keeping yer ass out o' the water ... just sayin'. As for treasure and rum, ye're on yer own.)
Hugs and kisses,
Cap'n Slappy
I be thankin you and wishin you likewise. Aye! Smarmy Nigel Grimm
But pirates cant sail if out of water. Crew good for scraping a few barnacles. Good discipline.
May yer barnacles always be on someone else...
