* Krispy Kreme used to run a promotional stunt where customers who ordered in a pirate accent would get a free doughnut, while those who came in full pirate garb would get a free box of doughnuts. It should save you some embarrassment to know now that the promotion has since been discontinued.

September 19th be International Talk Like a Pirate Day, invented by Mark Summers and John Baur (or Captain Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket) of Albany, Oregon, and popularized via a column by DaveBarry. Basically, it's a day when one is supposed to [[TalkLikeAPirate talk]] (and [[DressedToPlunder dress]], and act) like a pirate. Why? Because Pirates be cool, and because it be fun. Baur and Summers have written several books about how to talk like a pirate, as well as increasing one's "piratitude." Basically, the awesomest silly holiday ever invented.
