Talk like a pirate day

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.

    As a Flying Spaghetti Monsterist, I felt it was my duty to spread the piratey message, especially on this most sacred of days. We’ve formed a small raiding party in school to re-enact the traditions of our forefathers. Also, pillaging is fun.

    Note: Yaarage has reached unprecedented proportions, as have pirate songs.

    Yaar!

    I’ll post a roster of people who I’ve introduced the Pirate-Global Warming theory too. My friend Dom (Pirate Lazybones)has come up with a particularly logical solution:

    If we bring back pirates, they’ll need pirate ships. As pirate ships make less pollution than other modern forms of travel, as more people become pirates there will be less pollution, and the rate of increase of global warming will decrease! It’s pirate-tastic!

    Yours in pasta,

    I be Harry, from Australia matey. We be having cold weather today, unlike yesterday which be 30 degrees celsius, today be only 21 degrees celcius and rain. Thank ye pirates for the cold weather me says. We and me maties went to school in pirate clothes today to show the true piratey spirit. It be a pity that we be going to a Christian school, and we be getting detentions for it.

I shall spend the day at work answering the phone with a good “AVAST YE MATEY! DECLARE YERSELF OR I’LL RUN YA THROU WITH ME PAPERMATEY! TIM THE CABIN BOY BE A SPEAKIN! HOW CAN I PILAGE YE?!”

    I wanna know how long I can go before someone actually responds in a piarate voice!

    BTW:
    1. Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
    Drink and the devil had done for the rest
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
    The mate was fixed by the bosun’s pike
    The bosun brained with a marlinspike
    And cookey’s throat was marked belike
    It had been gripped by fingers ten;
    And there they lay, all good dead men
    Like break o’day in a boozing ken
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    2. Fifteen men of the whole ship’s list
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    The skipper lay with his nob in gore
    Where the scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
    And the scullion he was stabbed times four
    And there they lay, and the soggy skies
    Dripped down in up-staring eyes
    In murk sunset and foul sunrise
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    3. Fifteen men of ‘em stiff and stark
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
    Or a yawing hole in a battered head
    And the scuppers’ glut with a rotting red
    And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes
    Looking up at paradise
    All souls bound just contrawise
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    4. Fifteen men of ‘em good and true
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    Ev’ry man jack could ha’ sailed with Old Pew,
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
    There was chest on chest of Spanish gold
    With a ton of plate in the middle hold
    And the cabins riot of stuff untold,
    And they lay there that took the plum
    With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb
    While we shared all by the rule of thumb,
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    5. More was seen through a sternlight screen
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
    Chartings undoubt where a woman had been
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
    ‘Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot
    With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot
    And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot
    Oh was she wench or some shudderin’ maid
    That dared the knife and took the blade
    By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

    6. Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
    Drink and the devil had done for the rest
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
    We wrapped ‘em all in a mains’l tight
    With twice ten turns of a hawser’s bight
    And we heaved ‘em over and out of sight,
    With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well
    And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell
    Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell,
    Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

    Living in Texas the average temperature is about 87 degrees (F). While waking up this morning dressing in my usual pirate atire and deciding which eye I should wear my eye patch on, I noticed an unusal drop in temprature outside. Cheaking my gage to note if any piarte movement is about, to my delight It read 66. Thank you to all Pastafarians who care about the Pirate civilization, and global warming.

    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.

    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 Ana”). 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!

    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

    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.

    Please send all your Pastafarian prayers to brother Magus, who is on the University of Central Florida campus today to preach the starchy word of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. He will be distributing packages of the sacrament (beef and shrimp flavors) taped to which are passages from the Holy Book.

    I also have the report from Austin on local temperatures :
    Sitting here in Austin, I notice that the temperature low today (60 degrees) is far below the lows for the next ten days. We believe that this is because of the response to our call for pirate dressing today. Such a phenomenon is not unique to Austin as can be clearlt seen from the comment left by many believers.

    With me coming from Germany, I really was in doubt if our holy master had deserted us, because he let the leader of the Christian Church (you know, that ol’ fella with the giant hat and the night robe) emerge right from our middle. But I am doubting no more, due to the recent events I am here to share with my fellow mateys right now.

    As I sailed home from work yesterday it was still uncomfortably warm, and I really worried if all our actions and preparations for the “Talk like a pirate day” were just not enough to impress our master. I fell into bed and had no hope left for our world, for global warming would slowly lead us to certain doom.

    But that night, His Noodliness spoke to me in my dream…

    Still asleep, I suddenly felt more awake than ever before in my life, but I could tell neither place nor time. I immediatly was overwhelmed with the blessing and spiritual clearness emitting from his sheer presence. He then told me that he was very pleased with our efforts connected to this holy day, and that from now on to the end of the year, he will make the sun rise a little later every morning, and, in addition, he will send it off the sky a little earlier, what will be causing a significant temperature drop over the next months. For reasons I was told not to ask for, he also mentioned that this will first affect the northern region of our planet, while the southern region will get its turn after that.

    Enlightened by his presence and inspired by his words, I am here to encourage all of you to continue on our ways, and to face any barriers caused by the ignorant wrath of some unbelievers with patience and compassion. Don’t be fooled by those who threaten our peace loving members with visions of places like ‘hell’, which only they know and care about.

    BTW: I asked him while he doesn’t make use of his powers to take any actions against those kind of people, and he told me he was too busy listening to them and laughing his ass off.

    Harr, my mateys…

    Gah, I missed TLAPD. But It has been unseasonably cold her in Vancouver Canada and rainy the last two days, and today it was freezzing and puring rain. Yeah, TLAPD was a success, we can see global warming reversing itself.

    The day after Talk Like a Pirate Day, we get more rain than we have in probably 2 months. Coincidence? I think not!

    This means that GLOBAL cooling IS A CORRELATED SCIENTIFIC FACTOID so please hang onto your winter willy warmers for the time being.

Naturally, our timbers were shivering due the activities of “Talk Like a Pirate Day” the previous day. Once again our temperatures are rising. I think this provides all the evidence you need.

Oh, and Ohio is cold lately! On the 18th it was 80 degrees, and it’s been steadily dropping to the 50s and 60s. I think we have done our part.

    I just wanted to let everyone know that pirates are back. I know on the surface it would appear piracy is at an all time low. However, a recent visit to the Internation Chamber of Commerce, has led me to believe otherwise. I advise everyone to visit their websit and see for themselves:

    http://www.icc-ccs.org/prc/piracyreport.php

    You’ll find that not only are Pirates running rampent in the south seas, but some of them have even gone back to their roots and are using swords, or long knives as the report states.

    I would like to present data that the temperature in Washington, DC dropped considerably on Wednesday, September 20, 2006. I feel that the correlation between the 10 degree temperature drop and the incredible amount of pirate activity did not just cause a momentary dip, but is actually still effecting the climate. Perhaps increased pirate activity will be able to counteract global warming!

    Bobby,

    This website has been up for over a year (I’m really not sure how old this is). You definately made your point: To protest the ludicracy and stupidity of Intelligent Design, and openly mock the Kansas School Board’s decision to back it, choosing misguided faith over science. But when you start to publish a bible based on the FSM and sponsor “Talk like a pirate day”, don’t you think that you’re taking this in the wrong direction? I did not read your bible yet, but I’m concerned that the original message is going to be lost in the parody of mocking religion.

    Greetings from Washington, D.C. I must say that this past weekend was indeed unexpectedly cold, ofcourse signaling a job well done for Pastafarians world-wide. However, since tuesday the temperature has been rising each day, along with increased humidity, i fear that this friday’s services will not be sufficient to save us from a hot and muggy doomsday. Therefore I would ask that all pastafarians spend this friday (today, I guess) being ESPECIALLY PIRATEISH so as to save our gloriously noodle-headed leader from suffering a warm-and-sticky fate.

    Dear Bobby,

    I would like to report back on Talk Like a Pirate Day in South Africa. I have to report an unseasonably hot day in the country but I do believe that the cause of this can be explained.

    On the day concerned all believing Pastafarians called into a local radio station and did what we do best, talked like a pirate. There was much Aaaaring and oiing and you could feel the temperatures starting to drop for a while there. The event was disturbed by a gentleman who phoned and in response to talking like a Pirate said “Ish, Chiefs beat us again!” I do believe that the gentlemen concerned was referring to a recent soccer match between two local teams the Pirates and the Chiefs, in which the Pirates, quite rightly beat the Chiefs, again. The temperature began to rise. Obviously the gentleman concerned does not fully understand the gravity of Pastafarianism. I hope the Flying Spaghetti Monster gets him.

    Noodley yours
    Arrabiatta

    Hello,
    We are Jordan Bancroft-Smithe and Dustin Jentz, and we are starting a Pirate Club in our school in order to eradicate Global Warming. I, Jordan, found out about your site soon after you wrote it, and I showed it to my good Friend Dustin just last month. We decided that we are going to eliminate Global Warming and are wondering if we can use your site, gospel, and shirts for our group.

    P.S. We are also wondering if we could get the T-shirts at a group discount price because there are going to be so many of us. Not too many of us want to spend $21 for a shirt.

    P.P.S. We have just recently experienced a couple of anomalies in our area; our marching band was playing Pirates of the Caribbean and the day after our show was done, the average temperature went from 50 degrees to 80 degrees. Also, our Masquers group was doing a dance to techno Pirates, and as more people joined, the temperature also fell. That also ended Friday.

    The temperature has been consistently dropping in my neighborhood, as well, and that is because my husband and I are having a pirate party on Friday the 13th to help cool the planet… there should be about 50 or more pirates at my house and there will be Goonies, Pirates of the Caribbean, and, of course, Pirates (by Joone) on the tvs… expect a massive temperature drop in the greater Tampa Bay area.

    Marvellous debate, chaps, but has one ever pondered the question “How do pirates know they are pirates?” Well, they just arrrrrr!

    I was born on September the 19th, TLAPD is part of who i am :D
    i consider it part of my very nature to spread the word of the FSM to the unenlightened.

    As further proof that i was brought into this world to spread the word of our great and noodly master, when i was born my mother shouted “YAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH!”

    While many contend this was because child birth hurts like a bitch, I say it was the FSM speaking through my mother, heralding the birth of a true pirate!

    It is to be noted, that one of my good friends is also born on the 19th :D
    Although he continually rubs it in that he was born at 1am and i didnt appear till 6am, How can i make him see that the time doesn’t matter, its all holy?

    I have a newfound respect for the Australian band “The Wiggles” who must do a mighty job of reducing global warming every time they entertain the ankle-biters :)

    Wiggles: Highest earning performers in Australia
    .
    Wiggles: Wear skivvies (sort of long sleeved Tshirts) because it is always cool wherever they go.
    .
    Wiggles: Have a guy in a pirate suit (Cpt. Feathersword)

    Anyone else see the correlation?

    Really, to put it all in pespective, this life is about staying alive, is it not? How we live is another matter.
    Maybe one that will go unresolved because of the ongoing saga of the haves and the have nots. Life is a struggle no matter what you do or say. In an instant, your life can be taken away. Accident, poison, what ever. So you’ve got today, what are you going to do with it?

    You know even trees shed leaves before winter. Odd isn’t it?
    Like instinctively they know that snow can break them apart
    and then what? It is farewell cold cruel world. Winter comes and who of us will be here come spring?

    Hey, BLR,
    .
    Not all that odd. Two equally plausible explanations:
    .
    1. The trees that wasted their energy over winter on leaves that got ravaged by crappy weather died a lot sooner than the ones that didn’t. We’re left with a world of trees that drop their leaves and live longer. (Darwinian selction, in a nutshell)
    .
    2. The FSM gets cold in winter so he pulls down the leaves with His Noodly Appendages, partly because the extra activity keeps Him warm, partly because it gives Him something to style a fashionable winter coat out of, but mostly because it tricks us all into coming up with Explanation 1 (see above). Which makes Him laugh, and keeps Him warm. (Pastafarianism, in a lumache shell)

    I went to a pirate-themed party this weekend. It was heart-warming to see so many FSM-fearing queers like me dressed in pirate regalia and spreading the gospel. I truly felt as though I’d been touched by his noodly appendage.

    I love Talk Like a Pirate Day. I actually had a little kid come up to me one September 19th and ask me if I was really a Pirate. I responded, “That I be, me hearty,” then he got a confused look on his face, and I knew he wanted to ask about 20 more questions. But he just walked away silently.

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
