953 nut 62,343 #1 Posted September 19 Created by two friends in 1995 as a joke, Talk Like a Pirate Day, on September 19, has become a beloved faux-holiday that lets everyone channel their inner Jack Sparrow. Although real pirates likely didn’t use much of the vocabulary we now think of as “pirate lingo,” Talk Like a Pirate Day gives us a fun opportunity to break out of our routine, learn some history, and celebrate a bygone era. So grab some grog(if you’re of drinking age), gather up some maties, and let your imagination take you on an adventure on the high seas! 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It helped prepare us for some realities of the world. Sadly Its the sheltered 20-30 year olds that concern me today. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SO I watched what they watched loved their music and sorta raised myself. discipline, honesty, integrity. Do your best to do the right things the right way. LONG story. I am a latch key Generation X is what I have been told by the young pastry chef girls I hang with. IDk or care. I am outside. Listen to music and work. occasionally I have some great fun. I hope that everyone does the same! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bugs Bunny, 3 stooges, Road Runner, etc. Dad and his dad. would tell me as a child that thing cycle. A lot of things. FAST forward. I was a warehouse supervisor during the most recent pandemic. Staffing was a nightmare. ALWAYS IS. Owners son brought ALL of his friends from high school. I had trepidation. These children were wonderful... AND most of them listened to the same music that I Liked that MY parents introduced me to. I was blown away Uh how in the F do you know and enjoy uh Jethro Tull or the Led zeppelin???. Well because its darn good music. Better music better cars better work ethic, etc etc etc Good times. I think we are going to see another upturn. I can palpate it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
