Aaarrrr...that would be International Talk Like a Pirate Day celebrated on September 19th each year!

The holiday resulted from a sports injury. During a racquetball game between Summers and Baur, one of them, in pain, said, "Aaarrr!" and the idea was born. The game took place on June 6, 1995, but out of respect for the observance of the Normandy landings, they chose Summers' ex-wife's birthday, as it would be easy for him to remember.

Columnist Dave Berry helped spread the holiday to others in 2002 and it was soon picked up by Pastafarians. A match made in the kitchen or should I say gally?
