international talk like a pirate

 Ahoy you scurvy dogs!- International Talk Like A Pirate Day is Friday September 19th and in honor of this most important of days, we have partnered with the founders to release a series of Classics of Pirate Literature. These 20 titles represent the best of 17th-19th century pirate books from the guys who have been making Sept. 19th more fun since 1995. Now running for 13 years - the holiday has gained international acclaim and is celebrated by “fun loving pirates” all over the world.

ITLAPD founders Mark “Cap’n Slappy” Summers and John “Ol’ Chumbucket” Baur will spend this Sept. 19th with National Geographic in Philadelphia. But before shoving off on their media tour they took the time to hand pick these Pirate favorites and added a forward to help you lucky lads and lassies to soon be talking with a bit o’ slang in your gobs.

    You guys rock! I wanted to let you know that I am writing a pirate play. I plan on producing it in 2011, both on stage and on deck - that is to say - I reckon I’ll be acqurin’ a piratical vessel to sail the seas and attack, I mean, visit the pirate festivals along the east coast to show of me play and collect me booty from all the pirates that might be present!

    I hope to keep you two nautical types in the loop and hope to have yer blessin’ when the time comes.

    May the rum be with you!
