ARRGGHH! Talk Like a Pirate Day Today!!!

Arrrgh!! Ahoy There Bilge Rats!!!

Or, is it a more favored ECU Pirate "Arrrrggghhhhh!!!!!" It's not First and Ten at home games, it's "First and Arrrrggghhhh!" And, my old high school was the Palatine Pirates in Palatine, Illinois, with one of the most feeble mascots ever, a pirate who wouldn't even scare a baby. We saw that the high school in Galena, Illinois, uses the same pirate logo, but in different colors.

I know that here on the Chain of Lakes, they have a Pirate Day where a large group dresses up like pirates and make the rounds, "pillaging" various drinking establishments on the Chain. And, you hear more "Arrrs" than you thought possible.

I'll be writing about various pirate words in my history blog.

So, Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!!! Lubbers. --RoadDog
