Punch* a pirate.


Again it comes.

Why do people continue to support this stupid, gimicky and completely unnecessary holiday?

It was light-chuckle sorta funny once like three or four years ago. Now it's become a secret handshake sort of deal, like you've found a lifelong bond with a complete stranger all because you...*gasp*... you like pirates too?!

Ugh. There is nothing more obnoxious than to have a co-worker greet you at 7am with a hearty "Yarr!" and then provide a brief explanation of the special day and its history.

Oh yes. I nearly forgot, since we had the exact same exchange last year.

I like pirate history and films as much as the next person, but please stop this idiotic pirate obsession. This fad should have died YEARS ago.

Ninjas are a close second. Thank god no one's thought up a "Talk Like The 'Ask A Ninja' Guy Day."

Yet.

*Please don't actually punch the idiots who talk like pirates. They know not what they do.
