I didn't know there was a special day! One year, I had about four boys, these are 8th graders mind you, that talked like pirates all year! Drove me bonkers!

Argh!

Arrrr..... Cool site. One of my colleagues elected to have a bit of a pirate motif this year- the door of our office has been labeled "Captain's Quarters".
Do I mind....nope....I spend a good deal of time playing Sid Meier's "Pirates" on my X-Box....
