Avast ye slimy bilge rats!

Yes, indeed, as has been noted, today is "Talk Like a Pirate" Day (much like National Asparagras Day, but rather more fun). It is a day that presents certain questions. For example, would you rather say this:
The committee has decided to reallocate your time to the filing group. We look forward to the exciting new synergies between these departments.
Or would you instead rather shout this, with an appropriate accent:
Aye matey, those scalawags in their fine breeches want ye' to move o'er with the scurvy dogs yonder. If ye' don't come back with some fine booty, we be keelhaulin' you next morn!
Not only does the answer appear to us obvious, but there are also sartorial advantages. More information HERE.

Asparagras? Asparagus? Let's call the whole thing off.

(not International Talk Like A Pirate Day, of course. It would be horrrrrrible if we called THAT off.)

Perhaps he was referring to Saint Asparagras. I really like this blog, and I think you might like my blog, which is about Saint Asparagras. You can learn to buy, sell, rent, or pith Saint Asparagras with no money down! Check out my website Asparagras For All!
