We're sure you don't really need reminding, but today is Talk Like A Pirate Day (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/piratehome.html) - in fact extended into one long buckaneer-lingo weekend since the internationally famous celebration falls on a Friday, me hearties.

Nuff said, really, except to add that it's time to get fired up on grog, keelhaul Noel Edmonds (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/19/edmonds_tv_licence/), give Sarah Palin (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/17/anonymous_hacks_sarah_palin/) a lick o' the cat* and burn the good ship Seinfeld (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/18/seinfeld_campaign_over/) to the waterline, having plundered his chest of Redmond gold. Yaaaaarrrrr... ®

Bootynote

*Or lick Sarah Palin's cat, if ye will.
