Arrrr..

I got most of the office to take part in Talk Like A Pirate Day. The best part was this exchange over the Nextel.

Me: "Cap'n Tim, I be setting sail and leaving Discovery Bay, (real place) would you be needing me to make port at Bay Standard?"

Cap'n Tim: "Arrr. clear sailing to your next stop, matey!"

a few minutes later, the Nextel beeps.

Cap'n Tim: "Belay that! There be treasure awaiting ye at Bay Standard! change course and plunder them good!"

I was highly amused to hear [livejournal.com profile] filkertom's Talk Like A Pirate Day used on CBS Radio's story on the day. Even better was hearing KCBS have a Pirate Traffic Update and a Pirate sports update.

I had the day off, but I made myself heard elsewhere... there's a reason the advertisements for the seafood department say "These savings be so hot, they be rated 'Arrrr!'"
