Piratey splendor

Arrrrrrrr ye ready fer Talk Like a Sea Dog Tide?

The Official Site for International Talk Like A Pirate Day has great gobs o' goodies, including pirate pickup lines, songs, photos, games and even piratey knitting patterns. Arrrrglye socks anyone?

Pop o'er t' their links page t' use some mighty swell translators that'll add some piratical splendor t' yer own words, or translate a web page into properly piratified lingo. Even a Post Like A Pirate thingy (for twitterers) and an Aye Phone App.

By Dave Barry's bones! They've got it all! Don't believe me? Take a gander at the guide to pirate-speak auf Deutsch. Helpful if yer a monolingual Landratte like me, and ye be needin' to know what the Irrlichter might be, or how t' order the Smutje to be sent t' the sharks fer spoilin' the Käpt'n's Schillerlocken.

For I dream of the skull and the crossbones,
I dream of the great day to come,
When I dump the mundane for the Old Spanish Main
And trade my computer for rum! ARRR!

T' me,
Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
It's "Talk Like A Pirate" Day!

--from the official Talk Like A Pirate Day song, by th' swashbucklin' songsmith an' filker, Tom Smith

FSM in action

Avast! It's His Noodliness in all his meatball-blinking majesty!

Pastafarian Idanbd created this masterpiece and shared it with the true believers via YouTube and the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

RAmen!

Noodly Co-Pilot

His Noodly Co-Pilot

Be kind unto others whether they are kind unto you or not, for it maketh you the better person in most situations, and occasionally it doth piss off an idiot, which is funny unto Your Lord the Sauced One.

A quote from the Loose Canon of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

More of the same type of wisdom can be found at the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and in The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster: Traditionalizing in Cyberspace by Carrie Iwan.

Pirates and Global Warming

If you're a Pastafarian, you don't need me to explain to you the correlation between Global Warming and the decrease in the number of pirates around the world. * Bobby Henderson, Chief Prophet of His Noodliness The Flying Spaghetti Monster, has found yet more proof of this relationship using Google Trends.

I tried out the same search Bobby used, and got the same results.


You can test this out for yourself by clicking this link.

See the original post on the official Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster website, in which Bobby presents this evidence, and supporting CNN/BBC coverage spotted by Pastafarians Oliver and Adrian.

*If you're unfamiliar with Pastafarianism, you can find more information on the Pirates/Global Warming relationship in Bobby Henderson's Open Letter to the Kansas School Board.

"Yes, Virginia. There really is a Flying Spaghetti Monster."

In other news, the poor air quality alert is starting to pass, and we've warmed up to 23°F (-5°C), with expectations of reaching 32°F today. (0°C).

And for those of you following the LFG web comic, I got a serious chuckle out of today's page.
