"Just got this finished in time for TLAPD 2005. It took 1 year ( to the week ) start to finish - Bill Atkinson of Hallows Eve Tattoo Parlor in Palmyra PA did the design and coloring - the canvas is Mary Sutton of Hershey PA AKA "Red Rogue".. Mother of 3 and grandmother to 1... Can you guess what's on my christmas card pic this year?"
Yo Ho Yo Ho ... it's Talk Like A Pirate Day
Cap'n Caitlyn, of Polymer Solutions, Inc, writes: "We’ve been celebrating TLAPD for many years now and it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. This year in addition to our annual treasure hunt we are having a photo booth, costume contest, and b-arrrr-beque luncheon. I’m pretty sure you’d be hard pressed to find a company more enthusiastic about TLAPD than ours! I’m attaching a picture from our shenanigans last year."
This is what happens when our normal pistol "team" shoot occurs on TLAPD. This stage was named "repel all boarders". It started with rapier in hand, which you used to stab a cardboard target, then you picked up your long gun, shooting red jolly roger targets first then black targets, then you moved forward to your pistol and did it again. A different way to celebrate the day!
Here's a doodle that I drew when I was working on Talk Like A Pirate Day cartoons earlier this month. Maybe I'll bring back Pirate Cat for next year's TLAPD. He's a cutie.
Mad Roger Roberts (AKA Ron Crawley & Family) played it for fun in Gramling, SC. "Our numbers be a bit low this year but high seas sailin' be our spirits !"
Black MaGnUs and his mates at Perdidos En El Eter celebrated TLAPD in Uruguay for the ninth year straight. It was also the celebration of their show's 10th anniversary, so they went all out, with a public parrrty at Bar Fénix, in Montevideo's old town, n a DJ spinning some pirate tunes, rum, trivia, pirate tales, and a pirate skit by a local comedy group. YARR!!!!
The ungrammatical pirates of the Graduate Institute of Applied Linguistics enthusiastically snarled their rhotic consonants for the camera. The motley crew included an innovative participant, a “Pie Rat”. The Pirate Primer by George Choundas was read more enthusiastically than Foundations of Semantics.

I be livin' in the holy city of Jerusalem. On September 19th, our fan-owned soccer team, Hapoel Katamon Jerusalem, which plays in the 3rd division, had a home game, which unfortunately had to be held out of town. But a pirate cares not where his battle shall be held, so I got on me ol' trusty ship and sailed through the perilous seas to the unknown land of Holon, just to let me Jolly Roger wave proudly! 'Twas not an easy fight, but in the end we beat those bilge rats 2-0, and sent them down to Davy Jones' locker.
Although I, meself, cannot be seen in this picture, I feel the Jolly Roger is its true star. I hope you'll like it as much as I do. - Dror Ben Abba
How we celebrated our TLAPD! lol My sweet American Pit Bull Terrier pup appropriately named Pirate. His show name is Blaizen's Jolly Roger!
