In my defense, work has been exceptionally hell the past few weeks, and there are other RL frustrations and annoyances distracting me from thinking about things which are fun or nifty. Also for some reason, I didn't mark it on my calendar for this year. *fixes that* So!
AVAST YE SWABS, IT BE
INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! Shiver your booties and plunder your timbers et cetera, and even if you don't have the opportunity to chuck around a few "Arrrr"s or swill some grog, I hope the thought that thousands of perfectly reasonable people all over the world are spending a little time today just being silly for the sake of being silly brightens your otherwise unsilly day.
