Happy International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I just noticed that LJ has put little eyepatches on the username icons. Hee. Look: castalianspring - I have an eyepatch!

ETA: There's a nifty English-to-Pirate translator on the ITLAP website, for those who don't know a head from a halyard and want to pirate up their speech. New and improved!

Also changed by LJ: the posting button now reads "update Captain's log". And Frank the Goat is wearing a cute pirate outfit.

*sigh* If I had my way, I'd be watching Captain Blood and maybe even going out to the pub wearing piratical regalia. Alas, am stuck indoors writing about cuttlefish instead.

Hm. I wonder if anyone else in the department would object if I named the cuttles after famous pirates...

International Talk Like a Complete Prat Day

How does one hoist a mainstay?

The LJ logo in the new graphics scheme that you hate (as opposed to dystopia) has been turned into a cool looking ship.

Though it seems to be sinking, which may not be the best subliminal message to present . . .

Initially, I couldn't discern what was on the username icons, then I saw the "Update Captain's Log" thing I figured it was Talk Like a Pirate Day, but now I know for certain.

I wonder if LJ is going to continue to celebrate these kinds of holidays..?

I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. Cute.

And here's some cephalopod action for you... not squid, but a cool octopus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlGh33KtgpY

Heya,

I'm back in Bangor if you fancy meeting up. The net's not working at my house so I can only check email every few days at the library. You free at all during fresher's week?
