I’m sure you know, if you’re a regular reader of this blog, that today is my birthday. What you may not know, however, is that it’s also International Talk Like a Pirate Day (I am not making this up). How ironic that my grog-swilling twin brother and I should be born to such a lexical legacy! In light of this, I expect all subsequent birthday greetings to be appropriately piratey. In case your sword or your wit is feeling dull, here are a few sample birthday greetings:
“Ahoy, birthday boy!”
“Here’s hoping your treasure chest is loaded with booty!”
“Is that a parrot on your shoulder, or is that Liam?”
You’re all much more clever than I, and have probably swilled less grog this morning. Feel free to add your own (piratey!) birthday greetings in the comments.
How about “Shiver me timbers” arrg it’s my birthday!!!! “I’ll walk the plank in honor of the day”. Boy is that corny or what?
