Talk like a Pirate Day
This Saturday was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, as well as Software Freedom Day. This year I sided with the pirates, donned a particularly swashbuckling outfit, and joined about 150 other pirates to march through Melbourne, fight off ninjas, and singing the only sea-shanty known by every member of our scurvy crew.
Afterwards, there was the world's best pirate cake, crafted by jarich.
I have some pictures of the day and the party, including the Jolly Tux. For those people on Facebook, there's a lot of photos on-line.
