Yarrr!
Yarr ha ha ha!!!
So unless ye be livin' twelve feet below, ye'd most likely be aware that today, September 19th, be International Talk Like a Pirate Day!
Now blast yer guts if yer don't know th' history of th' matter - I haven't the intention to inform ye that with this here post. Indeed, what I do be wishin' to speak on, is a meme most of us have become aware of, and a believe ye'd know it;
The Pirate Vs Ninja Debate!
Now, certain things will be able to permeate modern culture - The Da Vinci Code, fer example did, whilst Ali Smith's The Accidental lay buried in the sand. So the question to be asking be this; why does this debate rage like a sea mad sailor, whilst others, such as Polar Bears Vs Penguins, and Cats Vs Dogs, fail to equate?
The answer be simple, lads. The Pirates Vs Ninja debate be a symbol of some of our deepest human desires.
For Ninjas, of course, it be about discipline. It be about wishin' to be perfect, effective. It be about hard work blessing ye with the rewards of good life. It be about a code of honour, whereby ye be livin yer life to solid moral principals. It be about absolute superiority.
But do today be about Ninjas? NO! Today be about PIRATES lad!
Pirates be more than fighting, stinking rapscallions.
Pirate be Freedom. Pirate be a total lack of inhabitation. Sexual freedom, freedom of travel, freedom of company, freedom form law, from authority, from judgement from the serpent strong grip of puritan values being demanded by others. Inside us all, everyone, in the need to be free - to feel the symbolic wind in our sails, raise the rum to our lips, our sword to the sky, and scream a scream that boils mens' bloods, as it comes from the passion and fury of life itself.
The late, great foe of the Aussie Seas, Mr Steve Irwin be a Pirate. A man who grasped life with unfathomable passion. A man who be living without dead time, who grabs life by the husk, slices it open and drinks it down. Like Pirates can, he died early - a fiendish blast to the heart! But every moment of his lilly-livered life was filled with freedom, with love, with treasure more valuable than gold Doubloons.
Ninja's might have efficiency. But we, lads, we understand what treasure truly is.
Yarrrrr!!!

For one day a year my inhibitions can disappear and I can act like a barbarian, slaughter the annoying, plunder the rich and impregnate buxom beauties.
Oh damn its talk like a pirate day not act like a pirate day, now that would be fun.
