“Talk like a Pirate Day” September 19th on handmadeartists.com

September 19th is “Talk like a Pirate Day.” Just for the entire silliness of this day, Avast, me hearties! (pay attention!)

Why do we need an International Talk Like a Pirate Day? Make no mistake. We do. But it’s a little hard to articulate why, especially when you’ve made the mistake of referring to your wife as a scurvy bilge rat and tried to order her back into the galley. (grin)

Talking like a pirate is fun. It’s really that simple. It gives your conversation a swagger, an elán, denied to landlocked lubbers. The best explanation came from a guy at a Cleveland radio station who interviewed a couple peeps on the  Talk Like a Pirate Day. He told them they were going to be buried by people asking for interviews because it was a “whimsical alternative” to all the serious things that were making the news so depressing.

In other words, silliness is the holiday’s best selling point. Here on handmadeartists.com too.

Love this Pirate Clock……

So what is it exactly that we’re celebrating here, if not pirates? What, you’re wondering, is the point?  I am going to be painfully honest here, perhaps fatally so. The point is, there is no point.  And that’s what’s fun about Talk Like a Pirate Day specifically, and talking like a pirate in general.

We need to have a Pirate Ship, don’t we….

I am talking about the mere image of swaggering pirateness. And while this is a guys’ thing mostly, the comely wench will have fun talking like a pirate, too. It’s powerful, yet harmless. Perhaps, dare I suggest it,

the ultimate aphrodisiac.  (gasp, did I say that)

Oh and not to forget the Pirate Mask….

Try it! Try it right here on handmadeartists.com, have a look at all the handmade Pirate Articles here.

That’s the first step!

Every Pirate need some sweets and a treasure…. I know…..

When Sept. 19 rolls around and suddenly tens of thousands of people are saying “arrr” and “Weigh anchor or I’ll give you a taste of the cap’n’s daughter,” will it stagger you.

So some are talking like pirates — on Sept 19th,  simply because it’s fun.
