International Talk Like a Pirate Day arrives

TODAY IS THE DAY, that once a year celebration of all things good and free, International Talk Like a Pirate(1) Day. Yes, that one day where you can walk up to a co-worker and yell 'Aaaaarh!' at the top of your lungs and not get fired (2), mutter 'shiver me timbers' in an elevator, and talk about poopdecks in straight bars without much problem(3).

So, go out, have a beer with the mateys, and swagger like ye means it. It only happens once a year, so take advantage of it. Send in your best stories too, double your winnings if it provably involves you getting fired. Triple if it involves you getting fired from HP.

(1) No, 'Aaaarh aaaarh' pirate, not 'can you help me rip that CD Poindexter' pirate.
(2) Should the boss think otherwise, point him/her to this page, it will clear everything up, I promise.
(3) No promises on this one.
