Just a reminder that today is "National Talk Like a Pirate Day". I suggest we all declare Monday to be "NTLaPD (observed)". Why? Because Sunday sucks and everyone is recovering in their rooms anyways.

Arrr, makes me pirate h'art sing. Let the ass kickery commense.... arrrr.

I believe it be International talk like a pirate day. ARRRR.

ye be a bunch of lillylivered dogs of the land. pass the swigpot lads and wenches, let the rum flow thick and salty; thar be a fierce storm on yonder stretch and we have not the men to pull down the mainsail before it unloads ungoldy on our scurvy heads

Its a nice change of pace to the other 364 "talk like a nerd" days in rolla.
