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.

Avast, the server room be icy this day! With such pirate-speak aboard today, what other explanation could there be?
Avast, me hearties! We are all talkin’ like pirates today at the library where I work. Doin’ our part to lower the global temperature and give honor to his Noodly Self.
Avest! Me Harties! There be a cold spell and a bit of fog off a’ da coast of New Amsterdam (New York, for ye Landlubbers)
May you all be touched by his noodlie appendage, off for a bit of sport. The Wenches are about to get a taste of my Noodlie Appendage after some well deserved grog.

To help with global warming, I lift up one leg behind me like a peg leg when I pee, I feel pastafolicious when I do this
all hail his holy noodleyness power
Yar! I spread news of the holiday over the internet and have been telling people at school all day. I even cursed the scurvy landlubbers that cut me off on the freeway in pirate talk. Here in Detroit, we have a fair sailin’ wind and temperatures that make me shiver my timbers.
Incidentally, my school’s logo is a sail.
I hate to rain on your parade but it was 83 degrees today. Unusually high for this season, though, I must add in, it was 87 degrees yesterday so there was a noticeable drop. However, our average temperature for this time is around 70 degrees. Scientists are telling us this is due to a shift in the winds so as the wind now comes from the eastern deserts instead of from the ocean to the west (What they’re calling a “Santa Anaâ€). I postulate that San Diego is just not involved enough in talk like a pirate day or we would be seeing drastically lower temperatures. I urge you all to please talk like a pirate. You are making Him angry and he is punishing San Diego with high temperatures. I sincerely apologize for not talking like a pirate myself in this message, but I feel my point will be more accepted by the general public if I refrain from talking like a pirate. Argg, fight global warming. Pillage and plunder!

Arrrr! Piratitude began early in the Midwest, with discussions of changing work uniforms to those of pirates…althogh we be a might afeared of landlubbers reactions hurtin’ the business. But within minutes of sich a proposal, temperatures plummetted…and now Chicago be havin’ a high of 62…
RAmen!
Avast, me hearties, here in the capital of the New World- Washington, DC- I fear it is not as cold as it might be. With the all scurvy pirates in the Capitol, the heat they generate has raised the temperature. May his noodly appendage touch their blackdog hearts on this holiest of days. Raise a bottle of rum to the FSM.
I share with ye, my pirate bretherin of the FSM, a bit of a conversation I had with me First Mate.
me: When yer mascot be a goat, matey, a single mast be right an’ proper says I. Much more ‘d be too much fer the bleatin’ bugger.
Matey: L I be most grateful at the moment that I be finished with me last bit o’ grog not less than a minute ago. Else I’d be wasting the tea that I brewed. (It must have slipped me mind to mention that me mum gave me a teapot to use while I’m away from me hearth and home)
Me: Tis no small task, t’ fire the nasal cannons o’ the likes of you. Har har.
Today in Scottsdale Arizona the typical high is 98 degrees however for some ‘unexplained’ reason today the high is only 92. (src. weather.com)
This to me, a pastafarian, is undeniable proof that the increased pirate activity on this fine day are helping reduce global warming.
Cheers,
Ben
Yarr! Today be about 65-45 in Cincinnati Ohio. This be much colder than yesterday, which be around 75-54.
The FSM was happy today.

praise be the noodly
it’d freeze the balls off a brass monkey in glasgow
Today I was walking around when I felt a sudden chill. I never have felt cold in this hellaciously (spelling is sort of a hit or miss thing for me) hot city known as atlanta. Then I noticed a girl walking by in pirate attire. To be honest, given her hotness, the fact that she was a pirate is the only possible explanation of how cold it felt around her.
Yaarg, me maties! Today be a mere 60 degrees here in this land bound village of Martinsville, whreas yestereve was a balmy 75-80. Much thanks to all ye pirates, as today was the dreaded Istep in sweltering classrooms. Alas, the dreaded captain Heacock prevents us from wearing eyepathes and hats. We’ll make him walk the plank yet! Raamen and Pillaging to all!
Hear tell there’s goin’ be a Nor’Easter up here in New Hampshah. AAAArrrrrgh. Time I be putting away me summerin’ clothes and readyin’ up for Old Man Wintah.
ARRR! Tis a mildy norrrmal day in the Centrrrral Massachuesetts area! However the news does predict an unsavvy drrrrop of tempaturrrre in the next few days! Seems the FSM is pleased is the efforts to honorrrrr His chosen people, ay.
RRRRRaaaamen
Och, we be in for a blow, methinks. On me brig, ’tis se’en degrees cooler at this time than a’last high tide’.
I`d like t’ report that th’ temperature here in Buffalo, New York be much cooler today than last high tide’.
