It does not, for example, mean priests sprinking "Holy Water" on ships. That's just about the antithesis of pirate.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
    The blessing of the fleet I mentioned is part of the pirate's festival I was talking about.

    I'm not sure they do things the same way in Seattle.

    Whatever.

    I went around drawing skull and crossed bones on everyone's whiteboard, or at least 5 whiteboards, before I got a little bored. I'll do the rest of my floor later.

    In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labour. In this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst is only a sour look or two at choking? No, a merry life and a short one shall be my motto.

    Which is why it's more like "talk like a fictional pirate" day than it is "talk like an actual pirate" day.

    Why don't you suggest to its creators that a name change is in order - I'm sure they will listen to you...
