Title: Avast Me Hearties!
Post by: Isk8NYC on September 19, 2011, 09:40:43 AM
Today is International Talk Like Pirate (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/) day!

This here event has a special sig-nifee-cance on skatingforums.com because a beloved member of our crew, Gary, brought it to the forums with a goodly amount of swashbuckling that lightened up the "Non-Skating Discussions" forum with good humor and plain ol' fun. 

Gary sadly passed away too young a few years ago, but in his memory, I ask everyone to hoist a tankard of ale in honor of good old Gary.  Somewhere in the ether, he's wearing an eye patch!

Raise the flag, ye scurvy dogs!

Yo Ho to Gary!
