Ahem. Aye. My pirate love began in 2003 when my daughter Amanda begged me to take her to the theater to see the new Orlando Bloom movie. I begrudgingly took her and settled in to take a nap in the dark, but when the opening credits showed an all-star cast and the music started playing, I was hooked.
In 1995, when a couple of guys began talking like pirates while playing raquetball, International Talk Like a Pirate Day was born. Read here for How it all started...
The Original Website has tons of activities like a Personality Test, Pickup lines, a map of the world, marking where the parties are, and even a free knitting pattern!

Oh, and 'Hide the rum.'
