Talk like a pirate day

Published by henderob September 19th, 2006 in evidence, pirates and General FSM news.

September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

This is important for a number of reasons, but for Pastafarians it provides a convenient source of pirate-behavior data to substantiate the Pirates Vs. Temperature correlation which serves as a keystone of our religion. We expect to see a considerable drop in temperature worldwide on Tuesday the 19th, due to the widespread pirate activity taking place.

I will be collecting quantitative temperature data via the interwebs, but if you have anecdotal (or specious) evidence of unseasonably cold weather, please describe it for us as a comment to this post.

Also, if you’ve done anything amazingly piratey today, please leave a comment about it. We all need to do our part to reverse Global Warming.

You can expect a thorough report of my findings on Wednesday or Thursday.

   It is freezing cold in the Pirate Bastion of Kansas City, MO today. The low this morning was 45 F, and the high is expected to be 67 F. THE AVERAGES FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR ARE TEN DEGREES HIGHER!

   Bobby Henderson and the Flying Spaghetti Monster are saving the planet by spreading the Evangelical Pirate Message! Thanks, Bobby!

    It is my duty to inform all of you participating in this piratey nonsense of the facts. Today in Arkansas where I live, it was 57 degrees F. A few days ago, it was in the upper 80’s. If you pirates don’t stop carrying on and pillaging and plundering, you might just start another Ice Age. You pirates won’t have anywhere to sail if the oceans freeze up. I implore you, stop the pirattitude before it gets too cold.

    YARRR! Me timbers be shiv’rin! When the great sun be showin’ just week last, the heat were reachin’ 100 or more, here in Dallas. Today, with the onset of mighty piratage, the breeze be bringing the sweet, sweet 60s and 70s to me dry pate! Avast, keep buckling the swash, mateys! I wonder how many customers will understand the importance of me piratey talk when they call for troubleshooting on their enchanted talk-boxes (powered by His Noodliness Himself). Hold your tongue, bo’s’n! I’m not proselytizing, only preaching the truth!

    Total no. of people converted today: 5, with the message spread to many others. I can’t vouch for a major temperature drop on account of being too busy pirating to notice, but there was a mighty chilly breeze around.

    Arr! Here in Calgary (Canada) ’tis foggy and grey, only a degree or so above freezing. The condensation fogged up the mirror on my pirate helmet as I rowed my bicycle to work with the oar-locks muffled and the scuppers flizzin’ afore the giblets. Now methinks I oughtn’t ‘a worn my pink shirt this morning. Arrr!
