Advance Notice of a SAIL ARRR!

[filkertom]

Avast, ye scurvy dogs! I figger this be the best place ta be announcin' this announcement.

Inspired by the jibber-jabber from the Wikipedia thread, particularly kightp's sad tale of the lonely, cave-ridden lubbers what had never heard o' International Talk Like A Pirate Day, this year's TLAPD is gonna be special.

First, as of that day I'm puttin' a high-quality MP3 of the album version of the song up as a permanent freebie. Those of ye who've bought it in the past, I thankee fer supportin' the artist -- that'd be me -- and I think now's a good time ta make it a giveaway.

Second, I'll be havin' a sale on pretty much everything. But ONLY if ye know the Secret Pirate Code. Which is "ARRR". Think ye can manage that? I'll repeat it a few times before then. I'm gonna make sure all th' damn PayPal buttons have the option fer a discount code or a note ta me or somethin', and typing in ARRR will get ye a hunk off yer order -- not sure, but likely 15%.

Third, I'm hopin' (not promisin', mind) ta have iTom 4.0 done by then. If'n ye ain't got any of the iTom albums, there'll be a special deal fer gettin' all four at once. Prob'ly $30.00.

Thank ye.

Now, then. Ye've got less than a month. What're your plans fer Th' Big Day?

My plans are the posting of Dementia Smackdown's special event, Pillage.

http://wwetuesday.livejournal.com/100010.html - for the match card so far.

Kewl. I've got two favors to ask -- is it possible to make my shirt more distinctive, e.g., Dude Love's tie-dye? And, would you like a new version of my theme music? ;)

[lukeski.livejournal.com]

THE CHEESE WILL FLOW IN THE STREETS THAT DAY!!! ARRRRR!!!!

[wwetuesday.livejournal.com]

I can do that. The new shirt will be at Pillage, as this week's matches are already recorded.

As for the new theme music, YES. Send away. (you have my email address, right?)

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

I'll be recording it later this weekend, should have it ready before I leave for Dragon*Con. Send me e-mail at filkertom at yahoo dot com so I have your address for sure.

So Tom, when are you going to do a Wikipirate song?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Possibly later this evening. ;)

I plan on not getting a cold this year. :(

It's very difficult to talk like a pirate when everything comes out, "Mnnnnggh*snortsniffle*ugh."

My housemate/best friend is teaching a section of the basic freshman "welcome to college" class this semester, and she fully intends to incorporate TLAPD into her stuff.

And she's doing it because SHE HEARD YOUR SONG. Thought you should know that.

ARRR!

I wonder if the gradeschool I volunteer at recognises talk like a pirate day. It would be fun to show up dressed like a pirate, and talking accordingly...

[gaelbrady.livejournal.com]

Talk Like A Pirate Day is also my birthday. Unfortunatley, I'll be in class during most of it. BLARF!! But I'll still celebrate. And I think my office will celebrate now too!!

[ladystarblade.livejournal.com]

And since I am gaelbrady's roommate, there shall be a party! Methinks we need rum!

[gaelbrady.livejournal.com]

I be likin' th' sound of thar being rum, mate!

[per_solo]

Rum is good...

and, depending on the type, it lights up into a very neat flame. :-P

"Make a wish and blow our your bottle, dear..."

Portland Pirate Festival (http://www.portlandpiratefestival.com/), natch. :)

(That's if I do not end up flying out of the country on the actual TLAPD instead. Things are very much in limbo right now, school funding-wise. But there must be pillaging, regardless. Or as much pillaging as they allow in airports.)

Alpha Romeo Romeo Romeo!

I plan to wear a hat and get some suitable tee shirt. And make extra nasty phone calls to people who pirate my news service. [They are pirates, we are privateers. Savvy?]

I have no pirate userpics, but Cap'n Mal is rather a space privateer I think.

[fuuberry.livejournal.com]

That is one of the greatest avatars I have ever seen... I <3 you.

Now can you tell more about this Bacon's piracy I keep hearing about? Is it related to the six degrees of Kevin?

This is probably TMI, but I have an appointment with a urologist that day.

[ladysmith.livejournal.com]

Taking Jacob to Disney for his first EVER ride on Pirates of the Caribbean.

I'm just not sure about that drop. He is only a year old, after all...

[fuuberry.livejournal.com]

Probably going to force the fiance to sit with me and watch Piratey movies all night. Wherever I'm working at the time, I'm totally freaking out my employer with a pirattude.

I know it's not happening, but I would gain so much love for Disney if they released World's End on TLAPD.

[troubleinchina.livejournal.com]

I'm hoping not to get fired this year. *rolls eyes at former employers* (Apparently showing up in a Pirate Hat to the office is Not Done.)

[ttamsen.livejournal.com]

My son's sixth birthday. He loves that he was born on TLAPD.

But I really need to find a blasted hat this year. I've got a great new piratical shirt, but no bleedin' hat.

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

Arrr, I'll probably be eating at Long John Silver's.

[filkferengi]

I'll be planning extra birthday surprises for ze spouse; you've got to love a lawyer who was born on TLAPD. ;) http://www.piratepalooza.com/ may well be involved.
