Dress Down Days are cool. Fridays tend to be pretty cruisy days anyway, so relaxing dress standards on the last Friday of the month, or every second Friday, or every Friday, is a good idea for staff morale.
In keeping with this theme there shall now be Pirate Day on the last Friday of each month.
Manufacturers of eye patches, breeches and high boots shall be pleased. Parrot breeders will be squawking with delight. The letter R will be back in vogue.
Unlikely to be popular at Enron, Deloitte's, HIH et al.

Same old jokes though; do they ever get old? [silverstormer, Oct 04 2004, last modified Oct 05 2004]
Of course no self-respecting executive would be seen without one of these.

Didn't we do this one already? |
|
| |
me timbers 'ave never bin so shivered! |
|
| |
At last! A chance to show off my peg leg. |
|
| |
Arrrrr! Splice the Mainbrace! That be a capital idea! |
|
| |
Please advise me of the date you intend to weigh anchor with "Pirate Day". |
|
| |
I have been looking for a good investment recently, and if Pirate Day becomes a regular office event I plan to launch an armada of dry cleaning establishments. |
|
| |
To make sure that your jib is always properly cut, we will install a professional tailor/seamstress/re-weaver in each store site to repair sword slashed shirts, ripped buttons and rent bodices. All those blood-stained bouffant poet sleeves are bound to need special stain pre-treatment. And (oh, the horror) we may have to set up separate facilities just to handle all the shirts, waistcoats, braid and jackets decorated with parrot shit,.. er, I mean, eliminations. |
|
| |
Boot blacking and buckle polishing will be available next door. Eyepatches are complimentary with every 10th shine. |
|
| |
I smell a good business opportunity here, me hearties! |
|
| |
More than one per annum, please. + |
|
| |
[DrC] I too thought we had done this before, but it appears I was wrong. The one we did before involoved pirates but was for a sorrority (see link).
I see no 'aarrrm in it. + |

<looks forward to the punchline> I dunno, why are pirates so cool? </punchline> |
|
| |
They really, just Arrrrr. (oh darn, silver deleted his!) |
|
| |
[squeak] beat me to it. Darn that quick typing baker... |
|
| |
I'm just looking forward to the looks I'll get as I tack my car up the motorway to work. |
|
| |
Car? I should hope there'll be a company frigate with wheels that goes around picking everybody up. |
|
| |
Strangely, I also often use the word "frigate" when speaking of work. |
|
| |
I'd like something a bit bigger than a frigate with at least 2 gundecks of 32 pounders. That should hold the traffic police and their cutter at bay. |
|
| |
From where I come from, everyday is pirate day. My friends and I were apart of the carousing troublemaker club. Arrr - me bun is yurs, sur! - [+] |
|
| |
Surely, we could just hire the 'Crimson Accountant' for the day?.+. Links. |
|
| |
Yarr - fer fine fee o'doubloons. |
|
| |
It's hell trying to put dubloons, pieces of eight and other booty onto a spreadsheet. |

<Dave trying to do currency calculations to include obsolete Spanish, Indian, French and Portuguese gold coinage>
Deep Bluebeard (The computer): "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that, Dave." |
|
| |
Cap'n One off Dave. I like tha sound of that, me hearties! |
|
| |
Good morning me hearties and greetings from Cap'n Wag! It is my solemn and true duty to remind all of you lubbers that it is the nineteenth day of the month of September and pirate day is upon us (see first link). |
|
| |
May the wind be always in your sails and the King's navy always in your sights. |
|
| |
mornin' Cap'n Wag, and a harrrty aye aye to ye! |
|
| |
Aye! Annd heave to the traders fairrr. |
|
| |
Aye, 'tis a thing of beauty, thar pirated site masthead. She be worth her fair share of dubloons. |
|
| |
That she be. I be only clappin' my eye upon it this eve, due to my other eye bein' shot out by that dog Bluebeard. |
|
| |
We'll be fighting global warming too! |
|
| |
But seriously, every day is pirate day with Bittorrent. |
|
| |
I hear they hanged Kazzaaaaarr!, the poooorrrr bastard! |
|
| |
scout, get anti-biotics or something quick. |
|
| |
Ahoy mateys! Another piratical enunciation event is looming off the port bow. Prepare to repel borders. Arrr! |
|
| |
Avast! A squall be brewin' wi' baaad tidin's of smugglin' dialogue and Davy Jones' repartee... |
|

*twirls gracefully into view* |
|
| |
...Oh... So it's not World Pirouette Day, then? |
|
| |
*slinks away embarrassedly* |
|
| |
Hold yer spinnaker! You mean to be tellin' me that we can be speakin' as scoundrels naught but one day a year? |
|
| |
I be agreein' in agreement. |
|
| |
Arr! A grand idea, be it not already baked in the Ship's Oven. Avast, all future pirate-themed idea bakers. |
|
| |
Pirate: I calls it moy mizzen mast.
Harlot: Aye 'cause most of it be mizzen. |
|
| |
Oi! You're an ugly masthead, ain't ye? |
