Arrr, me hearties! Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. While not an official holiday, it does have columnist Dave Barry's endorsement, so... it's legit. Not sure exactly how to talk like a pirate? We've got you covered. And covered. (And super covered.) Need more reasons to celebrate? How 'bout this one from Krispy Kreme or this one from Long John Silver's. And if that's not enough, there's always the jokes!
