THERE WILL BE NO SURVIVORS!
For those of you that might have been living under a rock for the better part of the last 13 years, September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.1
What, exactly, does this mean? Well, for the next 24 hours or so you can be rest assured that your respective flists will be inundated with Salty Language and fierce nautical innuendo.2
I know what you're thinking, Who cares about my real life friends and acquaintances! What does this mean for my characters? What's going to happen In Bar! GREAT GALLOPING GALLONS OF GRAVY, BING! TELL ME! FOR LO' MINE IS AN ANTICIPATION THAT CAN'T BE QUENCHED! I'VE PAID FOR THE WHOLE SEAT, BUT LOOK! I'M ONLY USE'ETHING THE END!
And again, now is not the time for worry. Believe me when I tell you that nothing is going to happen to your characters in-game. That is, of course, unless you want something to happen. Yes, there is a tried and true tradition of the latent magic of Milliways mucking about with the persons that visit her humble confines. Some gain jaunty hats, while others lose the ability to see out of one eye. It's just a thing. But it's a thing that doesn't have to be a thing if people don't want a thing to...you know...thing. If that makes any sense.
Go! Have fun! Do what'chu like, with the knowledge that all things Piratey are highly encouraged.
But...do keep this in mind. There will be a direct correlation between the Piratey'ness of your character and the likelihood of any order they're likely to place coming back tasting a bit saltier than normal. This is clearly in keeping with the Piratey theme, and has nothing to do with the fact that Bar is missing the hell out of a certain Cap'n wif-a-bird's-name.
Also, chances are good there will be no Happy Hour.3 I won't be around due to a previous engagement, so that means that Mike is boycotting the whole affair on account of the fact that there's no International Talk Like A Ninja Day. If someone else on Staff would like to take over for the evening, they should feel free to do so. If not there is a default Special on Grog, Key Lime Pie, and of course....Rum.4
Should you find yourself lacking in Piratey Talking Confidence, please refer to the following educational materials:
I think that's everything. Any questions just give me a holler.
In the meantime: Drink up, me 'earties. Yo ho!

2I'll "in" your "endo".
3You know, unlike all those previous other Wednesdays when there was a Happy Hour.
4We can't question where the rum has gone if no one drinks it! Think, People! Think!
