The awesome thing I didn't know until minutes ago is that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! I forgot all about it! Dang, and I would have made good use of it, too. Well, in honor of the day, here is an english-to-pirate translation of an excerpt of my entry from last night:
Today be a beautiful autumn tide. I love th' fall. I think 'tis me favorite season. That may be from a lifetime o' bein' a student - fall brings new classes an' textbooks, football games an' marchin' bands. I love 't all. Sweaters an' crisp sunny days, an' fallen leaves t' kick up as I keel haul.
Western Montana got 'tis first dustin' o' snow on Saturday - all th' mountaintops be shimmerin' white again.
Fer some reason fall always brings ou' me domestic side. (Luis may duel that I dasn't be havin' a domestic side, but ye`ll be havin' t' ignore th' lad's. I cook more than he does, e'en if that t'ain't sayin' a whole lot...) Last high tide' I made a big pot o' chili, an' I`ve got some super-ripe bananas ready t' go into a loaf o' banana nut bread next high tide'. I hate t' brag, but I make amazin' banana bread. An' snickerdoodles. An'... that`s about th' extent o' me expertise. I be passable at everythin' else, 'ceptin' whole poultry. They fstarboarden me. I`ve made turkey twice. Th' second time be good - th' first time be a fiasco I`d rather forget.
