Ahoy, sweetlings! Every year on September 19th, revelers channel their inner scallywags and wenches to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Going strong since 2002, ITLAPD is the most random of events, a day set aside to enjoy life in a most cartoonishly piratical way, a holiday in which creators Mark Summers and John Baur note that silliness is its best selling point. While costumes are certainly not a requirement for enjoying ITLAPD, with Halloween only 46 days away, what better way to get in the mood than a bit of old-fashioned revelry and disguise? Simply choose a pirate name, practice with the English-to-Pirate translator, then use the ITLAPD event finder to seek out some like-minded individuals to join up for a mug o’grog or two. And if dressing up is on the agenda (whether for ITLAPD or Halloween in just a little over a month), check out this collection of costume and makeup tutorials on a piratical theme!
