Whatever you do me hearties, get it in or ye'll be walkin'
the plank!!
So whether it's "shiver me
timbers" or "ahoy me hearties", we want you to spend the day
speaking like Long John Silver. Enjoy the day and have some fun. Maybe you would like to
organise a pirate themed event, such as a pirate cruise, a
treasure hunt, golf/bowl day, race day, pirate dinner/ball or
after work staff function.
Once
registered, invite your
friends/class mates/work colleagues to be pirate crew
members and spend the day talking, thinking and even dressing
like a pirate while pillaging, plundering and looting for
donations of gold booty.
Additional funds can be raised by
purchasing
pirate merchandise.

your own Talk Like A Pirate Day in
2008,

while their child undergoes treatment at the Royal Brisbane
Children's Hospital.
