    Talk like a modern pirate

    the foil coach at my club uses talk like a pirate day to remember when my birthday is.

    it's kind of scary.

    Ahoy there me hearties! Hoist the Jolly Roger, splice the mainbrace and shiver me timbers! Pieces of eight! Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Make the landlubbers walk the plank!

    Arrrrrr.

    PS Tomorrow here in Blighty it's actually Jeans for Genes day, but this pirate thing is much more fun!

    Minutes

    We smacks (freshmen) have to do what's called "calling minutes". This means that in the half hour preceding any mandatory formation (flight formations for lunch, the big wing-wide noon meal formation on Thursdays, etc. - primarily before meals), we go out and line up in the hallways at attention, and call the time remaining every five minutes. Each squadron follows the same format, slightly personalized for the squadron. Ours, for example, goes as follows:

    "RATZ! There are twenty minutes to the first call for the flight formation! Uniform is: Blues. Menu for the noon meal includes: Grilled chicken sandwiches, chilled punch, chocolate pudding. I say again: There are twenty minutes to the first call for the flight formation. Secure your lights and rooms please!"

    Our squadron is Squadron 33, the Ratz. The time is obviously changed every five minutes, and the menu, uniform, etc. is whatever it happens to be for the day. Today, however, being National Talk Like a Pirate Day, we heard the following from down the hall:

    "LANDLUBBERS! There AAARRRR... (blah, blah, blah) ... Shiver me timbers, please!"
    There are no damn chickens in my room!

    A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his pants. The bartender asks, "What's the deal with the steering wheel?" to which the pirate replies, "Yar. It's drivin' me nuts."

    That's too funny!

    National Talk Like a Pirate Day, eh? Us crazy people, we talk like pirates every day...I think it's something to do with the multiple times everyone I've known has seen Pirates of the Carribean.
