Carina has been typing on the internets before there was a www in front of everything. This is why she’s cranky and wants to know when you’ll get off her lawn. She resides in a hopelessly outdated home in the Mountain West with a mathematician and two boys. Her laundry is not done, but her Twitter and The Jet Set blog are totally up to date. Carina does not have a Tumblr, because get serious.

National Talk Like a Pirate Day

Posted: September 19, 2011    In: Lifestyle    Comments: 0

Did you smell the sea salt on the air this morning? Hear the faint clang of a ship’s bell when you got into your car? Bypass the grocery store and set a course for Tortuga? Answer “Aye aye” to any question? That’s because it’s everyone’s favorite holiday: National Talk Like a Pirate Day!

 

Captain Jack Sparrow Approved

Yes, every September 19th, we roll out the “ARRRRrrrrr MATEYs” and “Thar she blows” for a celebration of all the scurvy scallawags and rum runners that ever furled a sail on the open sea.

Here are a few ideas for you landlubbers:

Polish up on your pirate talk with this English-to-Pirate translator or this pirate primer.

Making a paper pirate hat (use newspaper or craft paper for a larger sized hat)

Rum balls for after dinner? Try these from A Taste of Home.

Sword fighting tips!


Wrap up some lost treasure and lose it someplace in your home or garden. Draw a treasure map for your little mateys to find their swag!

Or maybe it’s just the day when you have your mateys swab the deck.  Every man for himself.
