Become.com Celebrates Pirate Day!

A while back, like many others around the world, I talked like a pirate. On Thursday, a coworker informed me that tomorrow, September 19th, was International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I had almost forgotten! (Last year the day passed me by, to my eternal regret). After thanking her profusely, I secured a promise from her that we would both participate on Friday. To get into the spirit of things, I picked up a bandana to wear on my head that night. (I wanted to get an eye patch as well, but I couldn’t find one). When I get there the next morning, everyone stared at me like I was crazy, which is perfectly understandable, especially since I was now saying things like “Yarr, ye scurvy sea dogs, how be the good website Become doing on electronics categories?” But no one else joined me, not even the friend who had promised me she would.

But I stuck with it, when giving my weekly report to my boss, when ordering from the waiter at lunch (got the calamari), and even when Joe the ‘tern tried to get me to break character by calling me on the phone and offering me a free Nintendo Wii. Why, you ask, would I persevere? Because if Blackbeard never quit, I wouldn’t either, that’s why.
But I did learn one lesson: If you are going to dress up, like many of you probably are for Halloween, make sure you
A) Get your Halloween costume ahead of time, so you can plan out everything in detail.
B) Make your friends order theirs as well, and make SURE they are wearing them before you go to work!

Avast me Hearties,

Mad Billy
