    Ah yes. Another fad.

    Oh... lord... I hate the pirate fad.
    If it was get-Scurvy-whilst-lost-at-sea-with-the-French-and/or-Spanish-navy-chasing-you-as-you-have-stolen-all-their-gold-day I'm sure it wouldn't be as popular.

    Even pirates have to sell out to corporate sponsors eventually. Plunder and booty only last so long.

    Having it in September is a bad idea. Lots of people are just beginning school, and you never, ever want to start out a school year by acting like a freak. "But it be Talk Like a Pirate day!" does not dissaude people from thinking you're weird.

    Today at work there were disappointingly little piratey things being said.

    But what there was, there was a gem:

    <Tim> Aye aye!
    <Brian> Pirates only use one eye!
    <Tim> Aye!

    Teaching students while talking like a pirate at times = fun.

    It says "Corbis"

    No guess what that means.

    It does say "Corbis". My guess is that it's a watermark from the artist or publisher so that they can sue stupid people who use the image without asking or claim it as their own work. The fact that you can see it makes it kind of dumb, though. Since it's a B&W image, once you see it's there all you have to do is yank the contrast all the way up in order to get rid of it. A better idea would have been to make the watermark invisible to the naked eye, so that no one realizes it's there until you prove it in court.

    I missed it ><

    Regardless, I DID make up for it on Friday. Trying to get a blue card(admission into class late) while talking in Pirate speak was so difficult. But I got 'em! The CS teacher loved it, but my Precalc 2 teacher wanted to strangle me <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

    I missed the day itself, too. Though I did go to a pirate party last Saturday and got thoroughly drunk on rum. Arr!
