Also there was national pirate day (or somesuch) where many adopted piratical adaptions to their names.

ah yes, id almost forgoton about that one.... but it poped up in the "oik" thread .

Can't do link but check mumsnet classics - it's on there somewhere...just keep you legs crossed: it's very funny

NATIONAL PIRATE DAY??? ... i think its just an excuse to think about mr depp in his funky leather boots!

What's the pope got to do with it??

I think it's because Facebook has an English (pirate) setting, which has set off a bit of frivolity

Talk Like A Pirate Day is now an annual event website in September. I live with sometone who's favourite joke is

Why are pirates called pirates?

He comes out with this at regular intervals and still expects me to laugh. He loves the 'err and argh' joke, btw.

I just can't take pirates seriously anymore after Captain Featherstone thingy from the Wiggles.
