I've just read a whole blog entry on WilWheaton.net written in pirate talk. The strange thing is you really get used to it eventually.

A friend of mine who works in the public library got an honest-to-goodness press packet for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Fake tattoos and posters and other stuff to give out to kiddos. Maybe it's on the verge of becoming an acknowledged holiday?
