All about Talk Like a Pirate Day
Pirates have been talkin' trash and lootin' treasure for centuries now.
However, it was only in 1995 when Oregon natives John Baur and Mark Summers - in what they call a "temporary moment of insanity" - first set sail with the idea of Talk Like A Pirate Day.
And, what began as a private joke became a national craze several years later when writer Dave Barry publicized the event in one of his columns.
And the rest, as they say, is pirate day history.
Today, Talk Like a Pirate Day is fast becoming one of the most popular celebrations since Halloween and includes wearing pirate costumes, telling pirate jokes, and hosting pirate parties on the big day.
