September 19 is Talk like a Pirate Day!! Arrr

[Georgie]

We decided to watch an old movie tonight and as I tried to locate my copy of Young Frankenstein, I came across a forgotten tape of the old Treasure Island with Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper. So, of course, in honor of TLAP day (albeit a day late) we watched that. What a trip down nostalgia lane! Now thems were pirates, me mateys, and yes, Long John Silver even said "Shiver me timbers!" But the very best line, in my opinion, was spoken by Lionel Barrymore, playing Billy Bones. In a scene at the Admiral Benbow Inn, he orders rum for all hands and says, "Here's a new port, all full of pretty wenches and strong young BUCKOS!" What fun! They sure don't make 'em like that anymore!
