Yesterday was International Talk Like A Pirate Day, a humble occasion that started 10 years ago in a newspaper column. It spread to Facebook, and has gained monumental traction, with September 19 being celebrated worldwide. Across the planet yesterday grog was shared, peg-legs and eye-patches donned, and even the leader of the free world got in on the action.
The United States, of America, may not negotiate with terrorists, but it seems that the president is willing to negotiate with pirates. Taking to Twitter yesterday, Obama’s people posted the following pic, along with the question: “Arrr you in?”
Coolest. President. Ever.
How would you caption this photo? My favourites include: “Obama advises Hilary Clinton in the run-up to Halloween” and “Obama reveals to public what Joe Biden actually does.” Got something better? Leave it in the comments.
I wonder if this means Obama will be moving to hook-outs instead of hand-outs?
