It's Talk Like a Pirate Day so it was only right to make pirate themed posters
to cheer on Micah for his cross country meet to keep with the 2019 tradition with Liam (scroll down below for those photos)
He got a PR today for this course!
I sent a package for Taylor, Lucian, and Tommy to open today with small bags of Pirate Booty for Talk Like a Pirate Day
our neighbor Elizabeth came over to see Willow and we donned some pirate gear for the day

SHIVER ME TIMBERS!! This guy ran a MEAN race!!
He crushed it running 3 miles in under 19 minutes with his new PR on this course
(his first mile was 5:27!!!)
Such fun to cheer him on!
Yes- I fully embarrassed him with this photo- but it was worth it!
2017 Talk Like a Pirate Day Photos Below
I woke up to the news that on this day (National Talk Like a Pirate Day 2017) that Krispy Kreme was not going to be in the spirit giving away doughnuts like they've done in the past. As the article below says, "SHIVER ME TIMBERS!"
 |
| Please note that I did look to see if we have a Long John Silver's for a free deep-fried Twinkie. (ARE YOU SERIOUS?) The closest Long John Silver's to our house was in Kentucky. Needless to say, that did not happen today. |
Never fear- I decided that doughnuts were still in order so I picked up some Top Pot doughnuts for the celebration after school. However, in order get the doughnut, pirate speak was the payment required. ARRRR!
http://metro.co.uk reports, “The International Day of talking like a pirate began in 2002 and is still going strong in 2017 as people gear up to speak a new sea fairing language for the day.
It was initiated in 2002 by two guys who started to would start conversations by saying ‘Arrr!’ and a game od puns ensued and 15 years later here we are.
The day was decided on as it was one of the founder’s ex-wife’s birthday and they couldn’t think of any other important historical memorial day that was occurring on September 19.
The pair claim that talking like a pirate adds ‘zest’ and ‘swagger’ to your conversations and this justifies the need for an entire day for it.
Well of course.”
How to speak pirate, or as the pirates would say how t’ speak gentleman o’ fortune
Blow me down – Oh my god
Avast ye – Look at this
Heave Ho – Put your back into to it

Landlubber – big, slow clumsy person who doesn’t know how to sail
Scurvy dog – the pirate is talking directly to you with mild insult
Cleave him to the brisket – to cut across the chest, from one shoulder to the lower abdomen
Dead men tell no tales – phrase indicating to leave no survivors
Scuttle – to sink a ship
Seadog – old pirate or sailor
Old Salt – an experienced sailor
Three sheets to the wind – someone who is very drunk. One sheet is mildly drunk and four sheets is passed out
Batten down the hatches – put everything away on the ship and tie everything down because a storm is brewing
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh! – the exhortation of discontent or disgust
Ahoy! – Hello!
Ahoy, Matey – Hello, my friend!

Arrggg! How fun to grab Taylor after school yesterday and dress up like a pirate for "Talk Like a Pirate Day" to get free Krispy Kreme doughnuts. (How random!)
I sure love traditions like this that are quite silly but sure do make for great memories...
text message exchange below between us and our friend Byron when we invited him to join us...

And for our treasure hunt, we headed to Trader Joe's in costume and they had to try to find Sam to get the treasure (the lollipops given out by the staff there when you spot this stuffed animal that is hiding somewhere new everyday.)
see if you can spot Sam in this picture :)
The gal at the check stand loved the spirit that she even got in a picture with us.
me trying to fit into Taylor's old costume... clearly it's not quite a good fit... :)
