Yeah...no, I don't think so. Sounds like too annoying a day to celebrate.

Come back when we're talking like pirates.

Come back when we're talking like pirates.

INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY IS NOT UNTIL SEPTEMBER 19TH, AS A PASTAFARIAN IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF OUR MOST SACRED HOLIDAYS SO I SHALL BE RIGHT THERE WITH YOU WHEN THE TIME COMES TO SAY OUR ARRRGS.

BUT FOR TODAY, LET US SHOUT JOYFULLY AND GIVE A MINUTE'S SCREAMING IN HONOR OF THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BILLY MAYS!

 

[Aura Guardian]

Not my style to celebrate something silly.

 

[Kpt._Rob]

Who keeps making up all these rediculous holidays? I mean... I can't even blame those assholes at Hallmark for this one... just some nebulous internet entity. Do we really need a new rediculous holiday for every day of the year?

EVEN IF IT'S A TROLL THREAD, I WANT TO JOIN IN.

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is not until September 19th

I know. I was hoping for three months of relative peace until then.

But for today, let us shout joyfully and give a minute's screaming in honor of the life and death of Billy Mays!

Never knew who he was until someone on the Escapist mentioned him. He sounds like someone in life I would have ignored with the power of a thousand deaf, hyperactive children.

 

[Mr.Black]

Yeah...no, I don't think so. Sounds like too annoying a day to celebrate.

Come back when we're talking like pirates.

Way to be a killjoy mate.

I FOR ONE SUPPORT THIS DAY WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
