Today be a day fer grabbin' the first "Tales of Monkey Island" (http://www.telltalegames.com/playlikeapirate) episode from Telltale! They be offerin' it for free, and takin' stuff fer free be one of the goals nearest ta a pirate's heart.

I be goin' ta the Starrrrr Trek exhibition at the Franklin Institute - not so pirate-y, but there be only two days afore it sets sail again.

Talk Like a Pirate Day falls on CATURDAY this year!

Avast! Sounds like ye'll be havin' a good time!

I be celebratin' today by huntin' fer booty at the Goodwill stores' half-off sale. It's as close to pillagin' as I'll ever get. Then, I'll be goin' to the drrrrrrrrrrrrrrive-in. And possibly makin' spaghetti and meatballs, as this is a high holiday for Pastafarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrians everywhere!

If you want to take a break from the con to enjoy adult beverages, Oktoberfest (http://www.addisontexas.net/events/oktoberfest/) is going on also this weekend in Addison, a scant drive north from Dallas to the 'burbs.

[mimiheart.livejournal.com]

I decided I just have to say Barrrruch atarrrr... instead. ;)

[jcw-da-dmg.livejournal.com]

Plunder responsibly.

[gridlore.livejournal.com]

Arrrr, Captain! I'll be a plundering th' Dungeons of Doom in Nethack, and watching me Giants make the bilge-rat Dodgers walk the plank.

I've got lunch with the family at my Aunt Sharrrrrrron's, swapping my car for Mom's (which has space), then I'm gettin' a spare TV from my brother (oo, stuff for free!) and drivin' back to Ann Arrrrrrrrborrrrrrr with it. Then tomorrow we trade cars back again since I've got anotharrr command perforrrmance at my other aunt's for lunch.

If you want to take a break from the con to enjoy an adult beverage, for goddess sake, call twfarlan and I, and we'll come take you out for a drink.

Or better yet, join us tomorrow at Trinity Hall for an early dinner to celebrate codecattx's birthday.

[allandaros.livejournal.com]

Arrrgh. Apologies, matey - it had slipped me mind that oparrrrrrrrating system be a relevant concern.

[lizreay.livejournal.com]

I be workin' a double-header roller derby match, keepin' the rogue wenches in line!

[kyril.livejournal.com]

OT: I recently joined this dating site, and I'm searching for women but it says every one I find is an FSM!

ObPirate: I always wonder why they have parrots, and not arrdvarks! (No arrdwolves, it's not so arrd to understand.) Other than that parrot shavings/Atkins line. Time to dig that song out of the arrchives. With computers, searching for it won't be arrduous.

What goddess did Greek pirates worship? Arrtemis. Who was famous for her arrchery. Just beware, if you see her starrkers she'll turn you into a harrt, to be chased down by your own salty sea dogs. Arrf! Arrf! Arrf!

[kyril.livejournal.com]

Oh! And I have no grog, but I may pour some Captain Morgan's into a mojito or some limeade. Except I don't drink alone, so it probably won't happen this yarrr.

[ericcoleman]

The WSPA and I will be watching pirate movies tonight. They will also be hearing a certain song today.

[kendokamel.livejournal.com]

Because aarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrdvarks can't balance on yer shoulder!

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

I just came in from work and will be posting bits of
pirate-y goodness on my LJ soon. Pictures, stories, works in progress.

[jeffreycornish.livejournal.com]

I be teachin' new fear to my wench and me best mate using me mountain dulcim-arr. O' course they be strikin' fear into me with thier Cello's.

And M.000000000000000000000000000.............................. my cat is helping me spell

It would have been extremely strange talking like a pirate during services for Rosh Hashanah, so I'm having to miss this day, Tom. However, I did put a link of your official video up on my Live Journal, I think.

[marsdejahthoris.livejournal.com]

I be celebrating my birthday this fine day...

[alverant.livejournal.com]

Well I took two old computers to the electronics recycling center. Tried to TLaP, but the change of seasons got my throat working wrong. I don't think I was understood or if they got the joke. So I decided to skip it when I took some donations to the local food bank. http://peoplesrc.org/ It's WindyCon charity this year so I decided to get a jump on things.

Tonight I have a party where TLaP Day can be enjoyed properly.

[purpleranger.livejournal.com]

I'll be celebrating a little later by having dinner at Long John Silver's before going to work.

I'm in a coffee shop at the moment. As I approached the counter to place my order, I told the serving wench, "Ahoy there, missy!" To my surprise, she knows what today is.

[emiofbrie.livejournal.com]

YARRRR!!! I be celebratin' with a special Revenge tonight! :)

[the-yoyogod.livejournal.com]

Arrr. I put together a piratical mix on 8tracks, which includes your TLAPD song. http://8tracks.com/mixes/48220

[old-fortissimo.livejournal.com]

Aye, t'was fahrst day o' the New Year, Rosh HaShannahhhhr, soz I assisted with s'aahhrvices at the local Jewish retahhhrment home, wherein I wished all a Shanaahhhr Tovah, Shabbat Shalom, a good University of Louisville-University of Kentucky Governor's Cup game and Talk Like a Pirate Day.



It confirmed their opinion that I'm nuts. :)

(I'm not nuts...just a member of Avast! Conspiracy....)

[dan-ad-nauseam.livejournal.com]

admnaismith and I were at the OrrrryCaaaahn prrrogramming session.

[jss]

Aye, but matey, pirates want to know: Avast! left-wing conspiracy or Avast! right-wing conspiracy?

[lizziecrowe.livejournal.com]

Yarr!

[batyatoon]

I tried for "Atone Like A Pirate Day" but it just didn't work.

[old-fortissimo.livejournal.com]

Left? Right?

Keelhaul the lubber!

Never Avast! Starboard conspiracy, when I can have fortified Port!

[theturbonerd.livejournal.com]

Tom, thanks for participating in my "Science Fiction Fact or Crap? Quiz Show" panel at FenCon.

You totally *OWNED* everybody on that panel with your SF trivia knowledge. Plus you were willing to wear the Propeller Beanie and Goggles.

You deserved the "Head Geek" award.
