Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaar!

I wish I were a pirate. I know, you're right-who doesn't? It is not here yet, but it is coming so get ready... Anyways, so y'all get it right:

Stereotypical pirate accents tend to resemble accents either from Cornwall or Bristol, though they can also be based on Elizabethan era English or other parts of the world. Pirates in film, television and theatre are generally depicted as speaking English in a particular accent and speech pattern that sounds like a cross between a West country accent and an old English accent, similar to that of Robert Newton's performance as Long John Silver in the 1950 film Treasure Island; however, the characteristic speech patterns of fictional pirates appear to pre-date Newton's performance, for example in J. Warren Kerrigan's Irish-accented performance as Peter Blood in the 1924 film Captain Blood. [from Wikipedia]
So, to let y'all know....pirates and people who just talk that way are to be found at the wharf (where else) at 7pm tomorrow, Wednesday, on the night of the 17th for a pub crawl. Bring yer bike, a lock, and some piratitude, matey.

We got no sea, just a shallow salty lake, so our pirates float in a wheeled armada: http://ridelikeapirateday.blogspot.com/
