The Origins of Talk Like a Pirate Day

The story begins in 1995 with John Baur and Mark Summers, two friends from Albany, Oregon. During a racquetball game, they started comically yelling pirate phrases at each other. This sparked the idea for a unique holiday – a day where everyone could embrace their inner pirate and speak in pirate slang. They initially kept it to themselves, but in 2002, they shared the idea with Dave Barry, a nationally syndicated humor columnist. Barry loved it, promoted it, and the rest, as they say, is history!
