Talk Like A Pirate Day Video | Ahoy There All Ye Landlubbers, Arrr Me Mateys (And All That)

Posted: 19 Sep 2010 07:03 AM PDT

Today is ‘International Talk Like A Pirate Day’, with September 19 being the one of the year every year that we are all positively encouraged to talk like Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates Of The Caribbean.

I’m usually a stickler for the English language being spoken well, which makes navigating Facebook on a daily basis a bit of a minefield. However, one day out of 365 is fine.

‘International Talk Like A Pirate Day’ has been with us since 1995, and is now celebrated all over the Web and beyond.

Ken seems to handle these stunts like a pro, leading us to think he knows the circuit like the back of his hand. But no; this film captures the first time Ken drove the track. Knowing that makes this video all the more impressive.
