"Talk like a pirate day"?? I never heard of such a day. Is there any tradition behind this day? Does anyone know where I can get some examples of sentences & questions of how pirates talk?

Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh, it be talk like a pirate day, nineteenth every September, and any whiskey liver not aboard will be walking the plank!
This is at least the 2nd year.
I guess it's a bit late to rent Pirates of the Caribbean for examples of pirate speak. Here, I pretend I have a knife in my teeth and talk accordingly.

Ok, same question for me when I loaded the home page : what's this flag ? no link "etc.
Think of people who won't find this thread, and continue to ask themselves about this ..... joke ? hacking ? what's this thing ?...
Moreover, there has been several cases of "hacking" on flickr these last days (I think that the staff know that...)
Bad "coincidence", certainly, but it won't "reassure" the ones who have been hacked.
& now, Rippie says that *even* the "usual" functions of flickr don't work.... Well, I still haven't used flickr today, but if it's really the case, yep, it's a bad joke about the one only the staff will laugh......

Nope, I removed them. We're open for discussion, but flaming out over the forums and the team is too much, even for a pirate.

For those who still don't know.. Talk like a pirate day is a mock holiday, invented by a few jokers from the US about 10 years ago. They recently managed to fill up a whole episode of Wife Swap with their 'pirattitude', too...
Well Flickr, why not do somthing like this every day, like Google did until recently? Like Michelangelo's birthday and whatnot...
But maybe it's an idea to show a short explanation in a tooltip when you hover over, at least that's what I first tried.

Ummmmmmmm this is not what Flickr is suppose to be about and most of us don't appreciate it; you have enough glitches in your software that keeps popping up all of the time!! Sooooooooo maybe I will be contacting Yahoo which allows you to operate and moving all of my stuff to Photobucket or Ringo; especially disappointed after I just deleted my Yahoo Photo Album and put it all over here!!
Probably get banned and deleted for this like other members; some freedom of speech!

When pirates sail the seas, we can do whatever we please.
We'll attack yer ship and overpower yer crew.
Taking every coin and jewel, we can be so mean and cruel!
And here's some things that pirates often do:
We cut ya in two. We run you thru!
When we pirates take to pirating today.

Seconded. Sense of humour failure alert - piracy still exists in some parts of the world to this this day, nothing strikes me as particularly amusing about present-day sailors being killed or injured by pirates or their cargo stolen at gunpoint. I don't think it's the business of a big corporation to impose a frat house joke that not everyone appreciates on all flickr members whether they like it or not.
