Talk Like a Pirate Day Ideas

Ahoy my mateys,

Today be that most piratey of holidays: International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD), let us take a moment to tip our hats to it's founders the Pirate Guys. I figured I'd take the time to give you a few ideas on how to celebrate.

First head to the day's official site, here you'll find how to talk like a pirate and party ideas, and other great info associated with the day.

Videos:

I have a few videos I watch that I enjoy watching:

1. The first is the video of the Capricon 2008 live performance of Tom Smith's Talk Like a Pirate Day Song. It features The Pirate Guys themselves.

2. I love watching the entire web series of The Bus Pirates. There's a few racy bits, but it's hilarious.

3. Lastly is Improv Everywhere's Pirates of Central Park, it's a bit the partnered with Disney Parks.

Music:

Well best just show you my TLAPD Spotify playlist. It contains my seafaring songs for the day.

You can also check out the Pirate Songs page of the official site, for more tunes.

Reading:

I like to crack open open John Matthew's Pirates Most Wanted Book. It features a lot of info about real life pirates.

Also check out a comic I did a while back for the day: Talk Like A Pirate Day 2013.

Hope you have a good ITLAPD, way the seas be fare, and yer treasure plenty. God bless you all!

My Strange Finds Summer Edition

Good Evening My Friends,

I hope those of you in Florence's path are ok. Tonight I'll be showing off some of My Strange Finds from the last maybe few months.

 My first strange find is this watch I found hanging in a tree outside Walmart back sometime in the Summer. It was something that was puzzling and probably made me smile:

Time flying... er hanging.

I spent a lot of time outside this Summer and apparently nature loved it:

Nature's Heart

I was out doing laundry the other night and I noticed the "P" and "S" stickers of the push sign were gone, leaving behind a message that many probably feel when it's laundry day:

This is how I feel about my day sometimes...

Wednesday Fangirl and I were at the Outlet Mall in Asheville where I first noticed this fire and water fountain:

I looked at Fangirl and was like "If you had a long enough stick with a marshmallow on it... Yeah this isn't a strange find I guess, but it is cool.

I ended up coming across a few strange finds Wednesday as well:

1. ZomBee Bloody Bites: I saw these creepy cute things at the Dollar Tree in the same Outlet Mall. Each candy comes with glow in the dark fangs and watermelon flavored blood. I know it's probably gross and messy, but I thought it was awesome!

2. Bullfog SNOT: We stopped by this store we hadn't seen before called Hobbytown, and I saw this bottle of green stuff I think if used on model's tires.

3. Another Bullsh*t Night in Suck City: A Memoir- I saw this book by Nick Flynn on a bookshelf at a Goodwill. At first I'm like that's some name for your memoir, then I'm like wait no I've probably had days like that.

I hope you guys have a good weekend, those in Florence's path stay safe, and may God bless you all!
