PSA: Talk Like A Pirate Day

Setting aside all the insignificant stuff, like referenda and indissolubility of marriage, let’s keep our eyes focuse on what really matters.

Today is…

Talk Like A Pirate Day.

If you do nothing else, please use the exclamation “YARRRR!” (aka “ARRRR!”) at least 5 times before bedtime.

This has been a public service announcement.

    We can talk about both issues if the Synod decides to address whether pirates can receive communion. I hear Card Kasper wants to allow it.

    I once told my former parish Priest that he said the pirate’s Lord’s Prayer at Mass.

    “What do you mean?” he said.

    I replied, “Instead of ‘Our’ Father, you say ‘Arrrh’ Father.”

  4. Pirates for Communion! Merciful God, merciful Church!

    As a graduate of the great Seton Hall University (and still a practicing Catholic, no less!) I must concur. Ahoy, mateys! Argh!!!

  10. Venerator Sti Lot says:

    If St. Godric of Finchale was a pirate, as some evidence suggests, we can also sing like a reformed pirate! (Or, finding the manuscript notation – photographed in his Wikipedia article, for example – a bit heavy going, we can at least hear others doing so, at You Tube, for instance.)

    But, o ye scholars, how can we get a good idea of how ot talk like Dr. Baldassare Cossa, who died as Cardinal-Bishop of Tusculum, but was earlier some other things, including, reputedly, a pirate?

    How come you never come to the party? I saw you talking animatedly with a certain person at the end and really wanted to know what you were saying! Probably talking like a pirate.

  13. EVERY day should be Talk Like A Pirate Day …

    Philippa Martyr says: EVERY day should be Talk Like A Pirate Day …

    Agreed, especially since it seems as if every other news item in the past week makes me say ARRRGH…

    In my neck of the woods, we said GARRR! Maybe it’s a regional thing?
