| Ahoy Ol’ Chumbucket, Cap’n Slappy, and Jezebel!
We congratulate you all on the growing success of Talk Like a Pirate
Day. This year we saw you guys in several places: A Word A Day (where the
Guest Wordsmith for the week was Ol’ Chumbucket), Wife Swap, and a huge
photo in the national section of our local paper about an early weekend
celebration in Florida that mentioned the holidays’ origin in Oregon and
the Dave Barry column.
We parrrtied like rum-soaked bilge rats here at Flying Pie – it was
the fourth year we celebrated the holiday, this time with $500 in gold
pirate money in our registers (we started a little tradition of calling
Sacagawea dollars “pirate money”). We offered eye patches, tattoos, stickers,
flags, and candy; on Talk Like a Pirate Day, many of our customers came
in looking like pirates, and even more of them left looking like pirates!
Thank you for creating and sustaining the wonderful holiday!
Here’s some photos from our photo album: one of Flora, our currently
211-pound foil ball getting into the spirit, and some other photos of crewmembers
and customers dressed to kill. Or at least pillage.
We wish you the best of fortune in continuing to expand this holiday
and we’ll keep doing all we can as loyal galley cohorts.
Irreverently yours and in deepest gratitude,
The Flying Pie-ers
Woo-hoo! Flora's put on weight since last
time!!! Obviously, all that pizza and pirattitude is good for her.
Yer festivities just get better every year,
and because somethin' just tickles me black heart about yer sign and Flora
and everything else, I'm liftin’ the one-photo rule just fer you. Look
for 'em on our gallery later today.
Keep spreadin' the word (and the word, of
course, is "Arrrrrrr!")
