Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day - CLICK HERE

Aaargh, I do believe my magnificent grand-pirate-daughter needs this pirate book to learn her pirate-y A-B-Seas!

Here are the blasted details:

Mark 'Cap'n Slappy' Summers
John 'Ol' Chumbucket' Baur
Jonathan 'Pilferin' Pooter' Cooke

A piratical romp through the alphabet with all that that implies. Sometimes rude, sometimes downright dangerous and subversive, but always fun and always funny. "A Li'l Pirate's ABSeas" does for the alphabet what a well-placed broadside does for a Spanish galleon – softens it up so that pirates can have their way with it! Actually, we're not sure this should be read by children – but their parents will love it. Children should only be given this book by their drunken uncles and wild aunts who don't want the little darlings to grow up to be insufferable prigs!
Trade paperback, 48 pages with original black-and-white illustrations by Jonathan "Pilferin' Pooter" Cooke.

Aarrgghh!! Another Pirate-y Thing - Courtesy of Black Jack Rackham

My pirate name is:

Calico Prudentilla Rackham

Often indecisive, you can't even choose a favorite color. You're apt to follow wherever the wind blows you, just like Calico Jack Rackham, your namesake. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!

Then, you would be talking like a pirate on the day after Talk Like a Pirate Day and that would just be silly. Therefore, this is a do-it-yourself post.

Stolen from Old Horsetail Snake

I got these off of Old Horsetail Snake's Bl*g (He doesn't allow the use of the word bl*g on his bl*g. So,since I'm stealing material from him, I shall do the same thing on this post.)

First, A Pirate Joke...
This pirate walks into a bar with a big ship's wheel stuck down his pants. The bartender says, "Excuse me, sir, but do you know you have a ship's wheel down the front of your pants?"And the pirate says, "Aaaargh, it's drivin' me nuts!"
