Talk Like A Pirate Day

I personally think it's a bit annoying.

Sometimes it's funny.
Sometimes I am not in the mood for it.

I like it, the only downside is that it's a random holiday. Sometimes it comes up for a household that wouldn't enjoy that custom, forcing me to switch households as to not let the holiday go to waste. Or worse, in the middle of an intense story bit.

It's one of the few random holidays that I don't delete off the calendar when it comes up. For some reason it amuses me, it's easy to fulfill, and it usually doesn't interfere with what I was going to do anyway.

Here's your challenge, walk down the street telling everyone "Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day! Arr!"

Not in game but in real life. I wonder if we could get that to be a thing...

It was a little amusing the first 50 times.

It is a real day, it is apparently Sept 19th. It was invented in 1995.

About thirty years too late, I'm afraid :( I now live stuff like that vicariously through my sims only.

Wow. It's a real thing??? Okay let's do Talk Like.A Parrot Day instead?

It was a semi-big deal for a while, at least in my circles (which is made up mostly of Rennies, Geeks and Geeky Rennies) and at one point "Pirate" was a language option on Facebook for the day (and longer if you didn't bother to switch back)

Unfortunately I celebrate it in real life about the same way I do in the sims... by doing the same stuff I normally do in a day, with the occasional moment of remembrance/lip service to the day.
