Yes, today is International Talk Like A Pirate Day and I think we should all give a Yarrr! of thanks that this is one holiday the greeting card industry has not discovered yet.  So go out there and tell someone special that they're your little "Plunder Bunny!".

I live in Brazil, i have no idea of how pirates talked like in portuguese. :(

They say:
Perdeu Perdeu Perdeu Filha da puta!

Yarrr! Welcome baCK!!

You fight like a cow, yarrrr!

Gabriel, i don't know in portuguese but in italy they say something like: "Please, sign near the X and let us do all the work..."

Aye, good to see yer again!
Do we only have to TALK like a pirate? Or do we also have to drink grog instead of water, all day long?

Posted by Andy_H on Sep 19, 2007 five past eleven am

More grumpy gamer please. You make my life complete.

A new post! Is the world coming to an end?

Posted by Legshot on Sep 19, 2007 half past eleven am

Will you be me Plunder Bunny, Ron? :D

Posted by john barbecue on Sep 19, 2007 five to noon

Ron posts on his blog so usually that I wouldn't get surprised if the "talk like a pirate day" post from last year is still on the front page.

Yarr, is good to hear from yarrr again.
btw you have to honor Majus for his Monkey Island Flash Video!

Harr, thanks for the kind words, matey!

I did it and I got a kiss. And now everyone knows she's my plunder bunny. I'm her schnooky bear now. I hate you, Ron Gilbert.

My friend draws a cartoon featuring a pink bunny who briefly dresses up as a pirate.

Does HE play too much WoW?

Posted by TheGaffer on Sep 20, 2007 half past seven am

To celebrate speak like a pirate day go play this:

It owes much kudos to Ron and the MI boys but is a cracking little adventure game.

Posted by Greg on Sep 20, 2007 five past seven pm

Well Ron is working on something pretty big if I remember correctly... sadly that means less blog posts.

Posted by Kroms on Sep 20, 2007 twenty past nine pm

Or he just got sick of the endless spam :)

"Sadly"? No no. I'd really rather see more good/attempting-to-be-good-and-yet-new games out there than more blog posts. Kinda makes the world a bit brighter, and it's a pretty grim world.

Do all my comments in the 'general comments' section qualify as spam? I've been worrying about that since that page was locked. I can't help it if I've got things to say about stuff. And stuff to say about things.

Hooray, Gravatar finally changed my avatar. I prefer this one infinitely.

Posted by Kroms on Sep 21, 2007 five to eight am

Oh dear ... I'm not one to judge, but I think what Ron wants is intelligent and/or relevant posts. Just saying anything, like wanting to see Corner Gas DVDs in New Zealand ... I dunno. I was hoping someone would say something about the actual article. That sort of thing.

Like ... true, actual, annoying spam is the "Dear Ron" stuff. Have you played this, what is the secret of that, what about Ted Elliot who wrote that, etc. I hardly comment in General. In fact I think I only did twice: once to tell you that Kieron Gillen's website was www.kierongillen.com, and once when I understood the "Turn Off Your Damn Cellphone" video, as I had just seen the original Star Wars film for the first time.

I checked for "Kroms" the other day on this site and I discovered there are two of us, although the other guy hasn't commented in a while. But even some of my comments were SPAM. I try to cut down on it. Who wants junk in their email everyday, you know? Not because it's Ron Gilbert and I look up to him or anything, it's because who actually wants spam?

Ron wouldn't have been the only one sick of that stuff.  There have been some really interesting (to me at least) discussions on here in the past, but the (well intentioned) spam was becoming pretty bad.

What Ron needs is a Monkey Island appreciation thread, an Ask Ron section and a Please bring back Monkey Island page...

Ron,

You're alive?

Posted by Edmundo on Sep 21, 2007 five past ten am

Yar, Grumpies, so tell us whar ye up to? Me heard that ye be helpin' with those maties at the Penny Arcade...


PS- Yar, it 2 days late, but for me it's talk like a pirate day every day, mate!

Posted by Jack Shandy on Sep 24, 2007 twenty to eleven am

Hey Ron,

Posted by Ken Williams on Sep 24, 2007 twenty to eleven am

I challenge you to fight box once again...
NOW I AM THE MASTER!

Posted by Jack Shandy on Sep 24, 2007 quarter to eleven am

And that's no "Spam"...
I'd like to join the world of monkeycraft-guild,if it still exists

Posted by Jack Shandy on Sep 26, 2007 twenty five past five am
