Arr. There, I participated.
Being reminded by the older gentleman I’m training at the lab today has, I think, been a revelation that “Talk Like A Pirate Day” is getting out of hand. And really, is it worth it? Do you people really want Hallmark to get their mitts into it and create another Frankenholiday, like Secretary’s Day or Sweetest Day? SWEETEST DAY, JESUS. The layered hulls of an oil tanker are an example of a needed redundancy. Valentine’s Day II, is not.
I fear for the day when we’re inundated with theme candies and perforated, grade-school valentine style greeting cards, with sayings like “I CLAIM YER BOOTY!” and “U ARRR THE 1″ etched over badly illustrated pirates.
Can it be Tay Zon-Day instead?
