The holiday was invented by in 1995 by John Baur (Ol’ Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap’n Slappy) who decided that everyone should talk like a pirate on September 19 every year. You can check out a pirate translator if you need help. So spread the word and talk like a pirate. Oh, and just in case you were curious, Sinbad…he’s hilarious.

I did an interview with the founders of “Talk Like a Pirate Day.” They said they came up with it on a randomly on a racquetball court when one of them said, “arrrr.”
Then their friends started saying every year.
And, when Dave Barry talked about it, the movement really started spreading.
Here’s my full interview:
