International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Bentley: “Shiver me timbers First mate Pierre!  Guess what day it be.”

Pierre: “Uhhh, it’s Friday.  Why are we dressed like this and what happened to my eye?  Should I be hysterical?”

Bentley: “Avast Matey!  It be Talk Like A Pirate Day!  It’s an international holiday and our friend Cap’n Speedy the House Bunny is having a big party over in the U.K.  We be supposed t' talk like a gentleman o' fortune all tide.”

Pierre: “Hmmm, talk like a pirate.  Will thar be cake?  Do ye gentleman o’ fortunes eat cake?  I be knowin’ a RUM cake!  Hardee har har!”

Bentley: “Aye, now ye be thinkin’.  Mom, there be some kinda International Pirate Law that ye need to be bakin’ a rum cake.  Are ye already in the galley, ye wench?”

Pierre: “Hey Cap’n Bentley!  Do ye know where a one-legged pirate eats breakfast?  IHOP!”

Bentley: “Yo-ho-ho!  Me once knew a pirate with a wooden leg named Wilson.”

Pierre: “What be the name of his other leg?”

Bentley: “Arrr…do ye be knowin’ how much booty the pirate paid to get his ears pierced?  A buck-an-ear!”

Pierre: “Blimey Cap’n Bentley!  Ye be talkin’ addled!”

Bentley: “Ye talkin’ plank walkin’ talk ye scurvy dog!”

Pierre: “Don’t ye be makin’ me flog ye upside yer head!  Aye, here be a couple o’ more jollys!  Why couldn’t the pirate play cards?  Because he was standing on the deck!  Ok, be holdin’ ye stomach for this one…which side of a parrot has the prettiest feathers?  Ye give up?  The outside!”

Bentley: “Bwaa-haa-haa!  Wait…What do ye call a pirate who can’t conduct a successful raid?  The pillage idiot!”

Pierre: “Gramma!  Did ye bake us pirates some cake?  Avast My lady, why ye be wearin’ a paper towel on ye head?”

Me: “Aye, my little pirates.  It seems I have a Bounty on me head!”

Bentley: “Arrr Mom, ye won’t be walkin’ the plank, but ye must walk the dog today!  It won’t hurt to lose some of me booty!”

Me: “Do ye know why pirates are careful with cats on board their ships?”

Pierre: “Cat cooties?”

Me: “No, a mew-tiny!  Y’all don’t roll yer eyes at me!  That be funny!”

Bentley: “Mom, me don’t want to seem tart, but drinking rum this early in the morning does not make you a pirate, it just makes you drunk.  Hardee-har-har-har!”

Pierre: “Gramma!  Did ye drink our cake?”

Me: “Boys!  That is not funny!  Me thinks yer not gettin’ any of these apples me dehydrated for yer treats!  Do ye know what me will have to do before I bury me treasured apples?”

Bentley: “Aye, dig a hole!  We were just jostlin’ ye a wee bit My Lady!  Now, how about ye rubbin’ me tummy afore we get to those tasty apples.  Arrr…a pirate’s life for me!”
