National Talk Like A Pirate Day et al
A quote: All you bilge rats, Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrgh! As you are out and about on September 19th, don’t be surprised if people are saying, “Ahoy Matie,” “Avast,” “Aye, Aye Capt’n,” “Land ho!” “Hornpipe,” and many other pirate-like phrases, because it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
While ordering your coffee in the drive-thru, ask if they have change for gold bullion. Try testing your pirate language out at the library when asking for the location of Moby Dick. The pirate language always fairs well in rough seas. Settle a debate with “I’m right or I’ll walk the plank!”
When the boss gives you a new project, “Aye, aye, Capt’n,” is the correct response. However, beware calling the boss any frothy names. The goal of the day is not to lose your job. See below".
NATIONAL HUG YOUR BOSS DAY
All I'll say here is...or not.
NATIONAL BUTTERSCOTCH PUDDING DAY
I've always enjoyed butterscotch flavor, even above chocolate, although it's a close race.
NATIONAL PAW PAW DAY
Can't say as I've ever eaten a paw paw - but they are allegedly quite good. Not sure where they grow, but somewhere tropical would be a good bet. There are 60 varieties of paw paw - the most popular a mango-banana flavored one. It was supposedly George Washington's favorite dessert. Anyone ever try paw paw?

IN honor of the day I have already switched from coffee to rum...Aaarrrrrgggghhh! And no I have not ever eaten a Paw Paw ..that I am aware of.
Best dad/pirate joke:
To someone else you say, "Ahoy matey, what be a pirate's favorite letter of the alphabet?"
You'll see them think for a second, their eyes will light up, and they'll give you a hearty, "Rrrrrrr!"
To which you respond, "Nay, a pirate's first love be the 'C'."
I first thought that paw-paw day had to do with grandfathers...
Today is my birthday. I'm in the minority...I hate when people draw attention to me when it is. Is it really that much of an accomplishment? Did I really have a choice in the matter? I was fine where I was. The next thing you know, I'm getting my bottom slapped and it's cold.
I digress.
What I was supposed to say is that since 2001 I have known that it is National Talk Like a Pirate Day on my birthday. It has made me a lot more prideful.
Good on ya, matey. Have a great one.
Happy B'day and I truly hope you get your timbers shivered today..
Ahoy matey, congrats be to ye for navigating another orbit around the sun.
All I ask for every year is a Shetland Pony. It's never happened. At 6'4" and 260 (ish) it would be animal cruelty.
I will settle for getting my timbers shivered, though.
