september has an absence of great holidays. august, too. we haven't had a decent holiday since july 4th here in the states! that's too long. we need an extra holiday. talk like a pirate day is a great start, but i think it could bleed over into an extra pirate-themed halloween. it's a great holiday. we get to wear costumes, and raid the neighborhood houses for nautical booty: gold chocolate coins and jolly ranchers in the shape of various gems and jewels.
imagine the parties! rum! swordfights! pickpocketing! water-balloon cannons!
we could call it Buccaneer-oween.
all in favor of extra halloween, say "ARGH!"
YAR! You should try to make it to Piratepalooza some year, if you haven't been. It's here in Atlanta and is basically just a big piratical pub crawl. Sadly I missed it this year - it always is so close on the heels of Dragon Con that I'm still recovering!
