International Blog Like a Pirate Day: Sept 19
September 13, 2008
Ahoy me mateys. In less than a week, on September 19, we’ll be celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I propose we convert the day to Blog Like a Pirate Day!
To truly distinguish yourself in today’s cluttered blogosphere, there is only one option… writing in Pirate.
Fortunately, this special day falls on a Friday, which is the perfect day of the week for a casual and fun topic like this one. So, regardless of your level — junior staffer, senior management or awkward tweener — let’s all band together and blog like a pirate for one day. At the very least, we will all benefit from a quick refresher on the lost romance language of Pirate.
I know my good blogger buddy, Leo Bottary, is onboard and will be helping to spread the word this week. But to all my other blogger buddies and loyal readers — especially Drew McLellan, Kami Huyse, Gavin Heaton, Luc Debaisieux, Paul McEnany, Todd Defren, Darryl Ohrt, Mark Goren and all others — I ask that you help spread this important public service announcement and blog like a pirate on September 19 too. Will you join me and Leo on September 19 as we turn Talk Like a Pirate Day into Blog Like a Pirate Day?
If you still need help with your Pirate lingo after watching the below video, feel free to use these English-Pirate translators and other helpful Pirate links:

Nice, Drew! You’re a natural! Can’t wait to see what you write. I am thinking of stretching the agenda and writing about the topic of pirates, in pirate of course.
