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.

Arrrrgh, mateys! The standin’s be at low 50’s in Or’gon. Th’last week, it’s been mid-70’s. Several piratey-garbed wenches be paradin’ about the town.
Me and a fellow Pastafarian proudly displayed our piratey charms about our school.
RAmen, and good pillagin’ to ye!
before class, my friends and i exchanged our favorite pirate phrases in the hallway to the suprised stares and muted gasps of those non-beleivers around us. the world needs to be more understanding of pirate lingo. we are trying to get “Pirate” to be one of the languages taught in our foreign language department.
pirates are people too.
YAAAR! (Peace).
Yar, it be 20 degrees cooler in the isle of indiana, mateys.

YARRR WE’LL TAKE THAT AS A YES.
Hello from Connecticut! It does feel pretty cool here right now, but balmy (great word, right???). I wanted to report some pirate-activity here today. At my daughter’s elementary school they celebrated “Talk Like a Pirate Day” by having the kids talk like pirates and make pirate swords and eye patches. It was very cute and my 5-year old has been saying “Argh” all evening! :-) On a side note, I am a high school biology teacher and I would NEVER work in a school that even hinted at having me teach anything about ID. I am more Darwinism than FSMism but hey, this is my first day at the site so maybe there’s hope for me yet! — Kim
Ahoy from a Cannuk land lubber. The temperature here one week ago was 32 degrees celcius (that there be 91 for most of ye)and tonight it be be goin’ down to 1 celcius (33.8). Keep up the great pillaging work. I think I need to move closer to an ocean. Arrrgh.
Yeargh! It be downright chilly here in paradise. Praise be to His Noodly Greatness! We, the Well-tanned-Hawaiian-pirates-in-His-service, offer our Yeargh!
It has been very unseasonably cold in Fayetteville, AR today. 65 degrees F today compared with around 80 for the usual average. Keep it up believers
The temperatures were in the 70’s and 80’s all weekend and it was sunny, and then today it was rainy and only in the lower 50’s.
This seems like very conclusive data to me.
Last night, here in southern Florida (on the south shore of Lake Ocheechobee) it dropped down to 72f last night. When I got up this mornig, it was so cold that I had to stick a finge up my ass and yell, “Snow Snake” just to get a piss hard on…felt like a true Pirate….
Here in southern Onatrio, it is usually in the mid to low 20’s (celsius) in september, however, it has been unseasonably cold today, with a high of 17, and tomroow is supposed to be 13. It has been discussed that it may be from all the new pastafarians in my area, through spreading the word at my school
Argh!
Bobby, I just thought I’d alert you–
I just had the most horrid experience on this most holy of days.
My son just came in from school in Salem, Oregon, and he
said a whole troop of pirates marched into his Spanish class,
dressed in piratey garb and “yarrrrrrghing” all over the place,
then began to discuss the “history” of Int’l Talk Like a Pirate
Day, saying it originatated in Haiti! of all places, never once
mentioned its relationship to global warming, and never even
MENTIONING the FSM! I’m in such a state of shock that not
one “Yarrrrrrgh!” can I utter!
Were you aware of this dangerous heresy? I have now
schooled him in the correct doctrine, but as a fellow
Pastafarian, can I sue the school for so defaming our
great religion? Shit, that’s almost like Intelligent Design–
Teach our kids falsely about FSMism without even saying
a word about Noodley Appendages, global warming, or beer
volcanos.
And HAITI? In your own state, dude. You oughta do
something about this before it gets outta hand.

Ahoy Mateys! I went to school today wearing pirate clothes and the British Navy of religion, or the school, took me hat and bandana. I talked to the principal and she is going to tell the school board to check out the website and see if its a real religion. Oi, If it is, me and a few others will be able to wear out pirate clothing, every friday, and significantly, decrease the tempatures here in Kansas City Matey ;D
AHOY MATEYS! Today I dressed in me pirate attire and the temperature felt a good bit cooler! ARGGG!,
someone put posters all over my school.
no idea who though, i thought me and my friend were the only one who knew about FSM.
any more pirates and we might be lookign at beer volcano slushies.
Remember, folks, it’s Pillage _then_ Burn. PILLAGE, _*THEN*_ BURN.
Ahoy Mateys
Taday was coldarr then yastarrrrday (6C high instead of 13C high)
Ahoy there!
It’s 68 F in NORTH CAROLINA with a low of 55 expected!
Tonight we’re watchin’ Cap’n Sparrow, and delightin’ in it.
I’ll share the recipe for the grog we be swillin;
2 c apple cider
1 whole allspice
5 grinds nutmeg
cinnamon stick
Boil it up, shut it off. Stir it with a wooden paddle. Pour in it a mug with a good helpin’ of Cap’n Morgans or other SPICED Rum!
Yo ho ho, it’s Captain Grog!
(and I’m usin’ a Jack Skellington mug in honor of his appearance as a pirate in James and the Giant Peach)
I am also MOST delighted to report that our FSM car stick-ons arrived today! I ordered them just one business day ago!! USPS has apparently been touched by his noodly appendage for the occasion!
arrrgh!
Arr, I be Kevin, from Evansville, Indiana. It be real cold here today, a fact I blame only on the temporary rise of pirates on this, the most sacred of piratey days. Aye, avast!
