9.19.2007Pirates Unite!This is a travesty! International Talk Like a Pirate Day? What's next? Make Fun of Technical Directors Day? Just because pirates are, generally, out of sight (or out to sea), that doesn't give us license to call them "silly." These brave men who have shaped our seafaring world deserve more respect than this. Who do you think made it okay for Robert Smith and Johnny Depp to wear eyeliner? Pirates, that's who. Who helped the medical community in its work toward better prosthetic limbs? Pirates, that's who. Who made it okay for Disney to create a family-friendly attraction based on a lifestyle of theft, rape and torture? Pirates, that's who. Who would take a gamble on an unknown outfielder from Puerto Rico named Roberto Clemente? The Pirates, that's who. Maybe we should all take a moment today and appreciate these brave men instead of saying, "Arrr."

the real question is, who would win in a pirate vs. ninja battle?  Jim said...
I would stick up for ninjas if there was an International Talk Like a Ninja Day, but we all know ninjas don't talk. They have their vocal chords removed to ensure they make no sound whatsoever. |
