There is this Backyardigans song that my kids like:

Lyrics - A Pirate Says "Arrr"
This is one of the songs on the Backyardigans CD.

A Pirate Says "Arrr"

If you want to be a pirate,
Get up on your feet.
You can't be a pirate,
If you're sitting in your seat.
Swing your arms tough,
And stand kind of low,
And make this noise wherever you go.

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
It might seem strange, just a bit bizarre,
But they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
You wear a spare part, a bandana and a scar,
and they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

The Jolly Roger is the pirate flag,
A skull and some bones on a big black rag.
We'll fly it on our ship, up above the sails,
And we'll search for treasure,
And be tough as nails!

Arrr! Arrr! Arrr!
A pirate, a pirate, a pirate says "Arrr!"
If you think we're noisy, you're right, we are,
'cause they know you're a pirate,
When they hear you say "Arrr!"

I'm still waiting for someone to clarify this for me.
Hank, I thought you were helpful. You've dropped the ball on this.

How difficult is it to understand that today is the day that you talk like a pirate?

I bought some packaged Indian entrees in a pouch from Trader Joe's. I'm trying to eat lunch in, but putting a lunch together is too much. So I see these pouch things, assume they'll be horrible, but buy 3- eggplant something, lentil something and a paneer and spinach.

they were quite good, considering pouch to microwave to Hank.
The paneer was not firm like in a restaurant, and the vegetables are too mushy (close to baby food)- but the flavors are fine. It's like, if this were a restaurant it would go out of business, but it sure is an easy way to get a quick lunch.

I absolutely LOVE the brown rice and vegetables. However, the fridge in my place smells like Kurt Cobain so I can't stick food in there.

I get that, but what I want to know is why? Or maybe I don't want to know. But I've gotta know. Who started this and why? I don't think that's too much to ask.

OK, godammit. I just got an e-card from someone who is not a poster here that said ARrrgggh. Happy talk like a pirate day.
Is this a conspiracy?

Busted Tees sent out an email with HTLP day on it, so it's got to be fairly mainstream.

I don't know. It's sort of like national masturbation month. You don't ask why, you just join in on the celebration.

Is it tough practicing law in 1985 before you can use the interweb to have information sent to you?

So you're sitting at your desk after a big lunch and you feel the need to fart. Do you: (a) go down the long hall to the restroom stall pull your pants down and/or lift your skirt only to fart, i.e., waste of time; (b) eaze one out with the door open hoping that no one will come visit you prior to the smell abating (kind of like having sex in public, i.e., the thrill factor); (c) get up, close the door, sit back down, and eaze one out hoping that no one will come visit you prior to the smell abating; (d) let it rip and not give a damn; or (e) other? Discuss.

Obviously you haven't walked past my office or haven't hit 40 yet. When you hit 40, the only choice is (d).

Be glad it doesn't smell like Courtney Love.
