Getting in under the wire

Every year I nearly miss International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which is to say I'm a goofball. If you can't remember TLAP Day, you might as well toss the holiday calendar out the window altogether. All other holidays are merely sloppy seconds to this un.

But as good fortune would have it, I read Shelley today, and she manages to remember EVERY year. (I know, doesn't speak well for her mental state.)

So, I say to you as I might say to George upon his purchase of the wrong instrument:

"Avast! Take ye that a hornpipe back to t'the lubber ye got it from!"
