***
ARE YE IN GOVERNMENT? Now, there be a few .gov addresses signin' up fer this here list, from all o'er the globe. Why not try an' get yer elected officials to mark Pirate Day in some way? Perhaps ask a question to yer Prime Minister an' add "yarrr" t'the end o' it? Or p'raps a proclamation fer the day? Arr, we can but hope.

***
An' now, as promised, a PIRATE JOKE:
Q: What be havin' eight legs, eight arms, an' eight eyes?
A: Eight pirates!
***
A PLEA FROM TH' CAP'N
Arr, Marie Curie be... actually, for the first time ever, I'm going to drop out of the pirate voice for a minute here. This is important. Marie Curie Cancer Care provides high quality nursing, totally free, to give terminally ill people the choice of dying at home supported by their families. They're a fantastic charity. Every penny we get from sales of the single will go to them. Plus, not only will buying a copy of the single do good, but it might mean that all the terrible manufactured pop that's in the charts right now will get beaten by two pirates with a guitar. And that, me hearties, would be awesome.
http://www.yarr.org.uk/single be the address, an' ye can pre-order at http://www.indiestore.com/pirate . Please do. It be only 79p. If ye can't - or even if ye can - tell yer friends, blog 'bout it, or tell media folks. We truly be hopin' t'storm th'charts on September 19th!
***
Now, splice the mainbrace, me hearties! Get us t'full sail. It be almost time fer Pirate Day!
Fair winds' t' ye all, an' may th' tide always be in yer favour!
