International Talk Like a Pirate Day (ITLAPD September 19) is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy) of Albany Oregon U.S. who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate. For example an observer of this holiday would greet friends not with Hello but with Ahoy matey! The holiday and its observance springs from a romanticized view of the Golden Age of Piracy.
