September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day
Finally! It's here, the best holiday of the entire year. So its time to open the chest of your lexicon and pull out a few 'Yaharrrs' and some 'me heartys' to tack onto the end of a sentence every now and then. Colleen has already put the Jolly Roger on the flag pole. A few pirate jokes are always a plus. Youngest son Miles is going to a pirate festival under the St. Johns Bridge and his goal is to score a pirate hat.
So in order to get you into the mood, I have a recipe for a pirate drink.
1 Mango
1 Pineapple
1 bottle of rot gut rum (the kind that gives you a headache)
1 small folding paper umbrella
Cut up the mango and pineapple into 1 inch cubes. Feed the mango and pineapple to your parrot. Drink the rum. Stab the first disagreeable person you come across with the umbrella.
