Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day

Today I be a seafarin' hearty an' I says: Yes, indeed, 'tis again that time o' voyage, when each an' ever' one o' us be invited, nay encouraged t' Talk Like a Pirate. If ye didna plan ahead, go on o'er t' the'r site an' check 't ou' - go ahead! ya bilge rat who ortin' t' be keel hauled!

Don`t forget t' try th' English-t'-Swashbuckler Translators, includin' this one 'ere ye can e'en type in yer webpage`s URL an' be seein' 't translated fer ye (th' smaller field at th' bottom). Have ye gone, ya horn swogglin' scurvy cur?

Here be how 'tis done:
I ran m own post "Tea and Me" through th' translator t' come up with:

Grog an' Me
I didna drink grog. Th' first grog I knew o' be iced grog, loaded t' th' gunwhales by nearly sea dogs an' land lubbers I knew in th' summer. I didna like 't. Wi' or without sugar didna matter, wi' or without lemon. 't jus' wasn't me thin'. When I be in Girl Scouts, we learned t' make Sun Grog by puttin' grog bags in a large glass container that would sit in th' hot summer sun fer a long time. Since this be jus' another way t' make iced grog, I wasn't really impressed.

Go be havin' fun before th' tide be over, ya scallywag!

Luckily nobody did this in my presence on the day of. My co-worker and I were ready to punch whomever dared to talk like a pirate.
