Yargh, it be Talk like a Pirate Day

Yo ho ho, avast ye maties, hoist the Jolly Roger.

Today it be International Talk like a Pirate Day, the only day it be okay to refer to ye female friends as wenches and ye male pals as land-lubbers or scurvy scum.


Okay, that's about all the pirate talk I can muster... I better brush up.


Sorry I've been MIA, got hit with a wickedly awful cold at the tail end of the weekend and have been in bed most of the week nursing a fever & sneezing until my brains rattled.*

I'll be back tomorrow for Flash Fiction Friday.



* yes, this is an excellent time to make some dumb-blonde jokes ;)

    1. Haha, honestly, I have a hard time mustering up pirate-speak, so I'm really glad you read the whole post with the accent ;)

Type me out a line of Shakespeare or a line of nonsense. Dumb-blonde-jokes & Irish jokes will make me laugh myself silly :)
