International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Dear friends,

Today, the Argentinean Pirate celebrates a very important holiday. Yesterday, I wrote a post about religion which readers have deemed "heady" and "frickin intelligent." I actually meant it to be funny, but if it made you ponder, ruminate, or mull...well, I'm flattered.

Today, however, is a very serious matter. Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Unfortunately, I have no community in which to celebrate this holiday. Everyone knows you need ten people to make a minyan, and there just aren't ten people in San Vicente who speak English, let alone pirate English.

Alas, I am a lonely pirate - Jack Sparrow without the Black Pearl; Davey Jones without the Flying Dutchman; a Chinatown street vendor without a DVD copier.

On a happy note...did you know that Davy Jones was one of David Bowie's original stage names?

Enjoy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Paz y Amor,
La Pirata
