Arrrrrrr!
Yes, people.
‘Tis Talk Like a Pirate Day!
If you do not believe me, woman, maybe you’ll listen to manager Dave Barry.
This means only one thing, children… Fun with your old text filters!
Yes, for one post and one post only, every Ripple you leave shall be Piratified.
Walk the plank, friends!
12 Ripples from “Arrrrrrr!”

In youth minister days, I would lead tens of yutes in singing “We Bow Down” by Twila Paris in heavy 3 quarter time with [empty] steins held aloft (yes, we really did), like this…
“You are Lord of Creation
And Lord of my life
Lord of the Land and the Sea. Arrrggghh!”
Try it with a pint and patch over one eye matey.

This was a great song to sing in Saint Louis. People there have a funny accent, and it ended up sounding like:
You are Lard of Creation
and Lard of my life.
Also, when I installed your old text filter plugin, I didn’t know it was set to automagically filter the entire site on September 19. So if you visited the site before I caught that, every post and ripple read like a pirate. Arrrrrr!
It was a little much.

Well, as the sun sets on another glorious Talk Like a Pirate Day, I should probably point out that, as much fun as it may seem between you and me, real pirates actually pretty much suck.
Until next year, friends!! Arrrrr!

Dammit. How the heck did I miss out on talk like a pirate day? I’m pissed, yo.

Well, the good news is that my Pirate filter will stay on for this post and your old ripples, even though the day itself has passed. So you can always return to get yourself a swashbuckling fix.
Well, that is unless someone complains about the fact that the filter plays havoc with my aRrrrrSS feed.
You know, I forgot to ask yesterday: how much does a pirate pay for corn?
A buck an ear!

Heh. I had forgotten all about this old toy.
Sorry to hear about your toes. At least you didn’t set them on fire.

Ah. I just had to come talk like a pirate today. I needed to have a good time. Cause I smashed my toes and they are purple. Ouch.
