It's one of the least recognized days on the calendar, but it is one to break up the tension of a political season with a bit of lightness.
Tuesday, Sept. 19, is "Talk Like A Pirate Day" during which you can spice up your language by using "shiver me timbers," "ahoy," "avast," and a lot of "arrgh, arrghs" in your conversations.
The day was developed by two actors in the Northwest and they have been trying to spread word of this day around in various ways. This is one attempt to urge people to celebrate the day.
