That today is Talk Like a Pirate Day! Thanks to Heatherfeather for reminding me!
To honor Talk Like a Pirate Day, I want to first point out the importance of pirates in relation to Global Warming, as evidenced in the teachings of the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I nominate the following for Official Pirate Day Song:
"The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything," by Veggie Tale productions. I proudly proclaim it a classic.
Well, Talk Like a Pirate Day. I think I will import this notion to my school. See if I can teach the fifth grade to talk like Pirates. I thought I had heard the last of your corner pirate jokes a couple of years ago. Thank you for keeping my faith alive!
