Arrrrrr! Shiver me timbers...or something.
How is everyone celebrating this most noble of holidays? I'm wearing a shirt with a Jolly Roger on it. It makes me happy.

I totally forgot it was Talk Like a Pirate Day. I don't think Hertz would appreciate it if I answered the phone like a pirate though.

My favorite Talk Like a Pirate quote of the day:
Quoted Text
I think it’s pretty much obvious to anyone with half a brain that information wants to be free—both free as in beer as well as free as in speech. If it weren’t for huge soulless megacorporations imprisoning content behind unreasonably high paywalls and fascist licensing terms, we’d already be collectively a lot richer than we are today. Anyway, it’s not like people would pay for most of their crap anyway, and since they never would have gotten that money, then it’s not like they’ve lost anything. Hell, chances are that by being able to preview merchandise in full, sales are actually improved.
What? Wasn’t this Talk Like A Pirate Day?
