Avast! In the spirit of really goofy and fun holidays (see No Pants Day or System Admin Day….I missed System Admin day this year because I off was being Awesome riding roller coasters at Kings Island), Be Awesome Instead will be celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Every September 19 ye shall speak as ye ol Pirate would. Ahoy, Avast, Arrr, Grog, Land Lubber and more are perfectly acceptable in all conversings today. Ye be happy and jolly because silliness is the holiday’s best selling point.
