Re: September 17, 2024: Talk Like A Pirate Day
The "holiday" was begun by John Baur and Mark Summers and popularized by humor columnist Dave Barry.
But "pirate speak" goes back to Disney. It was Robert Newton in RKO-Disney's Treasure Island (1950) that started the stereotype. In reality, that probably has little relationship to how real-life pirates spoke. Especially because they came from a wide variety of different places. Including the famous cross-dressing pirate Anne Bonny.

I bought one of the Sophie's Revenge ships during the KS. Still not assembled as I don't have a safe place to put it once it is out of the box. So far have resisted the urge to pickup some of the Glow in the Dark pieces for it.
