 Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 6:33 pm Post subject: A thought for Talk Like a Pirate Day |
 |
|
I had a really dumb thought (actually, a couple dozen dumb thoughts, but I'm concentrating on this one at the moment...) during the drive home last night and thought I'd throw it to the wall.
What if anyone who chose to participate grabbed a script from here, for example, and read it like a pirate and then shared it with the rest for Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19th)? Is there a copyright boundary we'd cross by using the scripts from that particular site?
If anyone knows of a better repository, please let me know.
Greg

I found this little gem during a search for scripts and it fits right into what I had in mind. 
"ARRRrrr... Wot's the matter, Redbeered? You be looking a might low..."
"Aye, I yam... Sometimes, I just don't feel so... fresh..."

I am new and this is my first post. I think this is a hoot. Here are a couple of things I found that relate. A poster and a keyboard for creating your pirate copy.
