Ye who desires to talk like er pirate, look no further for today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Tell all ye mateys -- you can blog like a pirate, tweet like a pirate, and just let ye true pirate shine. Plan t'celebrate by talking like a pirate all day.

Would you believe this fun holiday started in 1995 by two regular guys playing racquetball? They started to yell encouragement to each other in pirate speak, "Arrr!" They had so much fun speaking in pirate lingo that they decided to create a new holiday. For seven years they celebrated this holiday on their own until 2002 when their story was told in a nationally syndicated newspaper.

Today, International Talk Like a Pirate Day has a pretty big following. Learn how you can talk like a pirate today or send a fun eCard!
