"Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates."
-Mark Twain
in my advil/vicodin dentalwork haze, I nearly forgot it is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Last year, I donned Pirate duds and bling and asked all the kids "Arrrrrrrrrrr ya readin'?" in my best pirate voice. This year I am home moaning "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." But hey, it's still Pirate, right?
(And as the most fabulous Captain Jack Sparrow asks: "Why is the rum always gone?")
