Talk Like a Pirate Day
Arr, today be “talk like a pirate” day. In celebration:
MS Press Release:
“Here be monsters
Avast ye, scurvy knaves, beware of piracy!
September 19th in the year of our lord 2004: Ahoy there! Avast ye on Talk Like A Pirate Day!1 Those who sail aboard the good ship Microsoft have a warning for those bilge rats who make choppy the calm seas with their knavish software tricks.
Because those who try to take the piracy off the high seas and onto their PCs face a fate worse than walking the plank. For they risk cursin’ their businesses and being left up a creek without a paddle. They be sinkin’ too with no patches to shore up systems, and could catch something far worse than scurvy.
Captain Alex Hilton, of the good ship Microsoft, says: “A lack of swordsmanship and sailing skills will leave the landlubbers high and dry.”
So, on Talk Like A Pirate Day heed this tale of woe and do not bring the pirates tricks to your PC, for here be monsters. Yaaargh!”
you know i’m going to be talking like a pirate all day today (internet doesn’t count)
