International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I first come across this term in twitter, people are talking about it. It is set on 19 September because it is one of the two inventors’ ex-wife birthday, so it is easier for him to remember.

The day was created by John Chumbucket Baur and Mark Summers while they are hurling each other piratical words at one of the sport game. This is how the idea come about. Funny isn’t it? Later the “this talk like a pirate day” was nationally promoted by the humour columnist Dave Barry in 2002 and soon gained popularity thereafter.

But you may ask, what do you need to do? What is the reason to have such a holiday? Do we need it? How to celebrate? Blah, blah, blah… … seems like no point to have such a holiday right? But that is exactly the point and the fun of it. Today, it is well celebrated throughout the world and spawned various events, parties, creative ways to celebrate it, etc. It is a rough idea and also a romanticized idea.
