Many years ago, two most glorious men by t'names of Ol' Chum Bucket (John Baur) and Cap'n Slappy (Mark Summers) came up with a brilliant idea. They decided, thar and then, that fer one day of the year people all over the world should be talkin' like pirates.

A land lubber and humorist by the name of Dave Barry a-heared of the idea, and soon he were a-writin' about it in his column. The Day became famous, and suddenly - shiver me timbers! - it were known all over the world!

Another fine pirate, Cap'n Thomas Scott, in England, a-heared about this fine day and began a website - the Official British HQ fer Talk Like A Pirate Day.
