It is coming…. (Actually, it’s already September 19th somewhere! Check the bottom of this post for the rest of the ITLaPD posts!)

Saturday, September 19th, 2009 is once again International Talk Like a Pirate Day. I’ll be posting something special, pirate drink-wise, and generally annoying my wife and tennis partners by talking like a pirate.
You need to do this too.
To help you get ready, I have a few links for you to follow now.
First up, via Dave Barry, is the pick of the litter of pirate name generators, What’s My Pirate Name? My pirate name for 2009 is Mad Morty Rackham!
Avast, ye lubbers! Fear Mad Morty’s thirsty cutla….

Hey! Chill out.
It’s not the 19th yet.

Oops, sorry.
Anyway, there’s also a new, but pretty cross bare-bones, name generator for your pirate ship, too! Mad Morty Rackham swabs the decks aboard the Buccaneer’s Strumpet.
See you September 19th!

Please just bear with him.
He’ll be babbling about this all week.
Here’s the mian post that leads to all the International Talk Like a Pirate Day Cocktails.
Here’s his discussion of Pirate Rum.
And here’s his list of instructions for talking like a pirate in bars.
