My friends in Portland throw a pirate party to celebrate the day every year. Sad I'm going to miss it this year.

Y'arr matey!

Google it. There are thousands upon thousands of pages. Even wikipedia has a listing (what don't they have???).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Talk_Like_a_Pirate_Day

Mostly, my friends just think its really funny and just another excuse to throw a party.

When we went to see pirates of the caribbean, I took my 6 year old nephew and told his mom that it was rated R.  She was most upset, then realised, indeed it was rated yaRRRRRRR!!

Thanks for this reminder, Mrs. Pink!  I'd had this site bookmarked since last year, but had forgotten all about it.  So thanks and a hearty ARRRRRRRRR! to you!   ;D

My English friends and I had a laugh at this one because here in the southwest, at least rural Bath area people already talk like this, it's known as "the somerset accent". Anyone heard of the Wurzels (sadly, I've seen them twice this summer!)?
