It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, Mateys!

Here’s the scuttlebutt, scallywags: Today be Talk Like a Pirate Day! Yarr!

Meet Pirate Limber-Jack.

Me latest video features a Limber-Jack dancin’ toy. It’s believed this charming toy originated in the old country of Ireland. Immigrants brought their Limber-Jacks with them to America.

My poor Limber-Jack was stark naked when I bought him.

So, I dressed him up for Talk Like a Pirate Day.

It’s obvious in the video that I need a lot more practice hitting the board for my Limber-Jack to have better rhythm. I’m working on it!

For more pirate talk fun, check out my blog post from 2013.

If you’re interested in meeting Vlad, a 300-year-old pirate rat with some cool ditties, check out this interview from 2011. Vlad is kids’ favorite character in our Monster Moon adventure series, which is written under the pen name, BBH McChiller.
