Y'arr! Awooga Guy received this email in his inbox today:

INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY BE JUST ONE WEEK AWAY!

September 19th -- next Tuesday -- be International Talk Like A Pirate Day! Thank ye kindly to the more'n 5,000 pirates who already be signin' up for this fine list. In this email, there be notice o' some charity work we be doin', a chance to see Cap'n Tom live (p'raps), as well as some advice fer students, teachers, media folks, the blasted governmental lackeys, an' those pesky bloggers!

It be worth readin' to the end, 'cos I be stickin' a pirate joke there an' all.

***

MAD CAP'N TOM LIVE: This year, I be honoured to be a guest o' the Southampton Boat Show, who be workin' wi' the Jubilee Sailin' Trust charity an' their Eye Patch Day. It be pirate themed, an' it be happenin' this comin' week, so the whole thing be a natural fit! There be a whole pirate section for li'l 'uns, an' this year, I be sailin' down there meself to be presentin' the whole day from the Show!

Yer web links:

***

ARE YE IN THE MEDIA? Why not get an article in yer paper or program on Pirate Day - Mad Cap'n Tom be available fer interviews, ye know, an' it be a great way to liven up yer Tuesday show. Already, we be 'avin interest! Parley wi' the Cap'n an' send yon email to capntom@yarr.org.uk forthwith!

(If ye 'appen to KNOW a media lackey, gi'em a tip or two an' tell 'em to get in touch. A quick poke wi' a cutlass oft loosens their tongue.)

***

DO SOME GOOD DEEDS FER A CHANGE: This year, we be teamin' up wi' both the Jubilee Sailin' Trust, an' Marie Curie Cancer Care. If ye think ye can 'elp -- even if it just be dressin' up in an eyepatch, speakin' like a pirate an' plunderin' the wallets o' those at yer local tavern -- give it a shot!

***

PIRATE PARTIES: Are ye thinkin' o' carousin' round yer local inn, hostin' a pirate party, or dressin' up in full regalia an' paintin' the town red? Be sendin' me an email at capntom@yarr.org.uk , an' I be tellin' the world about it early on Tuesday morn!

***

ARE YE A STUDENT? Then why not print out some o' the fine posters available at www.yarr.org.uk an' spread 'em around yer campus or school? Talk Like A Pirate Day be a fantastic way to annoy all yer teachers when they be bored on a Tuesday mornin'!

ARE YE A TEACHER? Then what better way to keep yer students' interest than be addin' in a little pirate talk to yer lectures. Or, if ye be teachin' littler pirates, then why not use the Day as a way to teach 'em about history (the pirate era), geography (the Caribbean), maths (if twenty pirates have forty pieces of eight, then...) or science (this be how a cannon works)?

***

ARE YE IN GOVERNMENT? Now, there have been a few .gov addresses signin' up fer this here list, from all o'er the globe. Why not try an' get yer elected officials to mark Pirate Day in some way? Perhaps ask a question to yer Prime Minister and add "yarrr" to the end o' it? Or p'raps a proclamation for the day? Arr, we can but hope.

***

ARE YE A BLOGGER? Linky us! The site be www.yarr.org.uk !

***

ARE YE NONE O' THESE? Then why not just tell yer friends. Email 'em, call 'em, set up a pirate party, whate'er ye wish! Just stay true to the spirit o' the Day an remember to pillage, plunder an' pirate on September 19th!

***

An' now, as promised, a PIRATE JOKE:

Q: Why can the pirates not be playin' cards?
A: Because the captain be standin' on the deck.

***

Now, I be off - I be sailin' the waters o' the Danube at the moment, an' while the locals be friendly, I mus' be settin' sail fer the port o' Southampton. If ye can be pokin' a media lackey, bloggin' the day, or persuadin' yer prime minister to yell 'arr'... well, best o' luck to ye!

An' smooth sailin' to ye all!
