The Webwench, as usual, will spend the 19th in front of the computer, postin’ yer updates and pictures as fast as they come in. Among other great ideas comin’ to us from our fans: Pirates for Parkinsons, planning “Walk Like A Pirate” charity walks all over the world to raise money for a good cause while havin’ a rip-roarin’ good time.

On Saturday, September 19th, unleash your inner sea dog with some of the most common pirate phrases. Since 1995, Talk Like a Pirate Day has given pirate enthusiasts around the world the opportunity to replace “Hello!” with “Ahoy!”, “I agree!” with “Aye!”, and a friendly greeting with “Ahoy me hearties!” Founded in Albany, Oregon, by John Baur and Mark Summers, this holiday will be celebrated around the globe, from a costume contest and school play in Istanbul to a charity beach party in the Lesser Antilles. Pirates for Parkinson’s, an organization born from this holiday, is even hosting charity walks around the world to raise money for a good cause!
