Spons-arrrr me now
Ahoy there me hearties, as ye all know by now, it be "International Talk like a Pirate Day".
And what a grand excuse to fundraise for those pieces of eight, with your doubloons going to charities like Marie Curie Cancer Care.
They be jolly enough to create a scroll of pirate lingo to help ye out, and be showing paintings in their rogue's gallery of pirate fundraisers. A cat o'nine tails to all you land lubbers who don't sponsor them!
A yo ho ho and a bottle of rum to Cap'n Suzie, and her fundraising page! The good ship Justgiving salutes your plunder...
Here be Justgiving's own "Jolly Roger" (ahoy, Business Analyst) to fly on yer boats:
And if ye ever run out of pirate (or parrot) paraphernalia, port yer vessel at San Francisco's only pirate supply store: 826 Valencia.
I sailed there this summer and bought me back a glass eye.
As they quote: "Definitely one of the top five pirate stores I've been to recently" - David Byrne.
This is SO yesterday.
