How To Talk Like An Internet Pirate
September 19, 2014 Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!
And hey, you don't have to be a pirate in order to sound like one!
So here are a few handy phrases to help you fake it today:
- "You want to watch Game of Thrones? Because I have, like, ALL the episodes."
;)
- "With this new Google Fiber, my download speeds are pushing 1.21 giga watts!"
;)
- "Hey baby, you wanna engage in some peer-to-peer file sharing?"
;)
BONUS FOLLOW UP: "It's not just a BitTorrent, girl, it's a BIG Torrent. Yeeeah."
- "Oh, you still pay for cable shows? That is adorable."
;)
- "It's not stealing if you share!"
;)
- "What?! DMCA takedown?"
;)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
- "Um, hello there, officer. Can we... help you?"
;)

I took a shower
before lying on your cake.
That's what good peers do.
Avast me hardies that was an excellent example of talk like a pirate day!! Genius!
Missed Talk like a Pirate Day this year--maybe next time.
"As you wish." (What? Westley was a pirate, I watch him on the internet, and he said that ALL the time.)
Anyway, to cover all the piracy bases:
Aarrrr you stealing? Aarrrr you stealing?
My show's on! My show's on!
Alarm bells are ringing. Takedowns can be stinging.
It's all gone. It's all gone.
With a price tag of $25, the "Easter Chick Cakes" would have me making that face. Arrrrrrrrr
Is that a green rug or quick sand? Looks as though our naked pirate is sinking into the floor a bit.
And sadly, my first thought wasn't "hey, a naked guy!" but "Mmmm, I wonder if that's chocolate??"
Lucky lady indeed.
I like the second cake. He's kind of cute!
But that Ken doll. . . .thing. Is he a color, or did his hair dye run down his body and color him permanently? Is his right arm digging through the cake and looking for lost treasure? So creepy, and so disturbing on so many levels.
Aye Cap'n Jen your posts are always shipshape and above deck. The wreckerators should be made to walk the plank. Avast ye scurvey dogs!
I'm not quite sure what was in my coffee this morning, but for the Easter chick cake I saw a puffer fish with its tongue poking out, peeking between orange tulips. The tulip on the right appears to be giving me the finger. Hmm. Maybe I just need *more* coffee...
Lucky lady, indeed… a love cake featuring a naked half-man with a heart on ….
Sucking on almonds,
the Easter chicks surrender.
Won't go nuts again.
The fourth cupcake is sort of cute actually. It reminds me of an Angry Bird.
These cakes be disturbing to the eye and brain arr
Those are hearts? Not you-know-what doing you-know-what to the cake?
Talk like a pirate at a Krispy Kreme to get a free doughnut. Dress up like one to get a free dozen. =D I did it this morning. And bought a pumpkin cheesecake one to try. Om nom nom.
That one cake looks like it's reacting when they bring out the knife to cut it!
I knew it must be talk like a pirate day when the guy at the farmer's market said his corn was a buck an ear....
Hey behbeh, my lil'
chocolate bonbon.
Come a little closer, dear.
Q: What be a pirate's favorite kind of socks? A: ARRRRR-gyle!
And don't forget, mateys, that it also be the birthday of that sassy little witch, Hermione Granger. (Go to YouTube and do a search for "Hermione Granger The Pirate Queen." You'll be thanking me for it.
Hanging my head in shame that it took me until the third cake to get it. <Sadly hands in nerd card.>
I actually misread the Lemon Chicks as saying, "with Lemon Turd".
Little Boy Blue - we know who you aaaarrrrrrr, matey.
Jen -- yum! Now I'm craving a pumpkin doughnut! And I'm in rural Wyoming -- hundreds of miles from the nearest Krispy Kreme!
@mel: Ugh
{chortle}
Shiver my timbers, that must be Roger the Cabin Boy on cake 3, waiting to come on board. Have him washed and sent to my cabin, he's due for a lashing. Tell Master Bates and Seaman Staines to stop what they're doing and assist with the flogging! Arrr, avast behind my hearties....
@FM: sorry...(but I hope you chortled in your joy, as Lewis Carroll would say....)
@Nanalettie: shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-iver me timbers...say anymore and you'll walk the plank..... :-)
Hmm and here I thought everyone went crazy today lol. Wouldn't be different than any other day but pirate talk is what I have my facebook set to so everyday is pirate day. Yay me lol.
If you have not discovered the amazing Tom Smith ("The World's Fastest Filker"), let me assist you - Not only did he write the official sea shanty for "Talk Like a Pirate Day", he did, as PurpleRanger pointed out, write a song about the "Pirate Queen of Hogwarts", as well as a little ditty about the "Pirate Ninjas From Dino Island" (which, sadly, is not on YouTube). So for your listening pleasure:

Hey, it's Can(n)on - [Hermione Granger the Pirate Queen]

Why are the expensive Easter Chick cakes frightened and why do they have tiny almond beaks?
Last cake = Furby family reunion. Shivering in me timbers.
@Nobodee Home- BWAHAHAHA! Love Furbies and they are so underappreciated in the cake world!
I like that first one. It looks like a young teenager with some talent made it for a bake sale. I wouldn't pay a lot for it, but I would pay for it. Is that cream cheese frosting?
Ha ha, you used the one I submitted with the Ken doll! Okay, so a local grocery store did this one, which I nearly got in trouble for taking. Just as I snapped the photo, the woman working in bakery walked up to me and asked if I needed anything, but I think she caught on to what I was doing. I took it because he's basically shoved so far into the cake, he looks like he's a part of the rug! It's like he's melted into it or something. I don't know if he's a full doll or just a cross section :-p It was so bad though, I knew I had to share it.
As a pirate (the Internet kind), I super love these, especially the DMCA one. xD
Side note: do you think Internet pirates count as the Flying Spaghetti Monster's chosen people, or just the non-land-lubbing (sea-lubbing?) kind? 'Cause if we do, global warming's gonna start subsiding pretty soon. I'm calling it.
