All you need today is to talk like a pirate!
Ahoy!
Avast - this is important. There could be tests ahead today and ye best pass 'em if ye don't wanna walk the plank.
The first lesson in pirate speak, according to a website some pirates thoughtfully prepared, is how to use the word Arrr!
Arrr is a great all-purpose word. I suggest husbands and boyfriends adopt this immediately:
"Honey, are you ready to go?" Arrr!
"How does this look on me?" Arrr!
"Should we go to my mother's house?" Arrr!
"What's your favorite letter in the alphabet?" Arrr!
You are good to go. Throw in an Ahoy for hello and Avast to grab their attention and you may be rewarded with some grog If you pay attention to your beauty, she may not mind if you watch arrr team Sunday night after watching 6+ hours of football during the afternoon.
Your odds of that improve if you can get the beauty to join you dancing the hornpipe.
Too much for you. That's why it's just one day.
The organizers of TLAP (Talk Like a Pirate) Day know most of us are lubbers the rest of the year, so for today, hoist the mainsail and talk like a pirate. Arrr!
Avast! - the whole TLAP thing is rather interesting... how is it that bloody, murderous, thieving scoundrels have become darlings in the modern world? Of course, real pirates still exist and the pirate love doesn't extend their way.
I suspect the Pirate PR folks recognize pirate characters seem unlikely to cause offense and talking like one is just fun.
