Finally! Incontrovertible proof that the decline in pirates is the direct cause of global warming.

I be on wordsmith.org’s A Word A Day mailin’ list, ya scabrous dogs, and this week’s theme be words concerning pirates. Aarrrrr!!!
Guest Wordsmith John “Ol’ Chumbucket” Baur writes: “Every September 19 people around the world celebrate International Talk Like A Pirate Day. It’s been marked on all continents — even Antarctica. Why? Because it’s fun, it’s anarchic. Its very whimsy — trying to get everyone on the planet to talk like a stereotypical Caribbean buccaneer on the same day each year — sets it apart from other holidays…
A note — I’ve often heard people talk about pirates’ “cockney accents.” Wrong! The stereotypical pirate has a Cornish accent, based on the performance of Long John Silver by actor Robert Newton in the 1950 Disney version of “Treasure Island”. He was from Cornwall, and his over-the-top performance and native accent are the reason people think that’s what a pirate sounded like. Of course, pirates came from all nationalities. But the pop culture image is firmly embedded, and Robert Newton is the reason why.”
Whatever ye say, ‘Ol Chumbucket. Here be the words!
MONDAY’S WORD:
TUESDAY’S WORD:
WEDNESDAY’S WORD:
THURSDAY’S WORD:
So there they be! I’ll let ye know what tomorrow’s word be tomorrow.

Pirates 2 pretty much sucked compared to the first one. It had a few good parts, but I think it was just a prelude to the 3rd one. I hope number 3 is better!

Arr, I be with ye on that, skin. Davey Jones and his crew were not threatening at all, the Flying Dutchman was just plain stupid looking, the dialogue was horrible, the story didn’t make any sense, Norrington’s incredible character from the first movie was turned into a joke, and Keira Knightley was too damn tan. I liked her virginal, white, porcelain skin the way it was before she got ultrafamous.
You know what, dude? You’ve inspired me. I’ve been sitting on my ass not reviewing this movie because I wanted to do a whole pirate-themed episode of the show. I bought pirate stuff, I started working on some graphics, and Mark even shot a really nice segment which I have yet to edit. And then I just stopped. I’ve been innundated with life which has taken a lot of time away from me working on the show and website, and now that all of that crap is pretty much behind me, I’ve just been vegging out doing jack shit. In my own defense, I did spend a solid couple of days putting together our new Halloween header, but that was a solid couple of days of work in the middle of a solid few weeks of not doing any damn thing at all. Time to get of my ass and get some work done. I’m gonna finish the damn episode and get it on the air. Keep a weather eye, matey. The new episode be a comin’! Aaarrrrr!!!
