Avast! Happy Birthday Steve, may you be no older, only wiser. (As if that were possible!)
The funny thing is, I already knew about TLAPD, because a good friend of mine married a man who is really into it. He apparently really spends the entire day talking like a pirate. He enjoyed it so much, he and his friends kept doing it, then his wife had to sit him down and tell him that he wouldn’t have fun on the real talk like a pirate day if he kept talking like a pirate on all the other days. (Kind of the, “we can’t give you presents all the time, then you wouldn’t like Christmas†talk from your parents.) Anyways, today is Christmas for pirate talkers. Arrrr.

This seems like a perfect time to rehash my crack about Elder L. Tom Perry being our pirate Apostle.

Happy birthday, Steve. It’s now 20 minutes after TLAP Day, so I can talk like a normal Mormon and not feel too guilty. A friend passed along the link earlier today, so I’ve been observing the event off and on since about 1:15 p.m. Turns out I can’t talk so good like a pirate. It comes out more Western, for some reason. Anyway, I read a little of the official website, and I have to say that all of your comments were far funnier than what they had there. Yur Mudder, my peg leg.
