I first heard about Talk Like a Pirate Day reading Dave Barry's column (http://www.miamiherald.com/283/story/100129.html). You just gotta love Dave! It's a day to be silly running around spouting ARRR's! and to avast this and that while wearing an eyepatch. Take advantage of it! This day of days was a grassroots effort that spread like wildfire, partly fueled by Dave's article and mostly through the persistence of these salty sea dogs, John Baur and Mark Summers. ARRRRR! Here's how it all started, it's actually a good read: http://www.talklikeapirate.com/about.html
