September 19 is TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!
The holiday was created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers (aka Ol' Chumbucket and Cap'n Slappy). When an injury during a racquetball game let to a impromptu "Aaaarrr," Talk Like A Pirate Day was born!
- We learn our pirate names,
- Test our pirate trivia,
- Share the top 15 pirate movies,
