I’m sorry, I just can’t keep this up for an entire post. You know what my favorite day is? International Talk Like A Ninja Day. You know why? Because ninjas are silent.

But back to ITLAPD. Here’s my boggle: Why are there no official festivities on Puzzle Pirates to celebrate? This is insane. September 17: Compete to provide one of the players with a new forum avatar. September 18: Write poems to insult each others’ flags (flags represent an alliance between crews). September 21: Give your pirate a back story and win prizes for creativity. What date is missing from that roster? September 19. Absent. Macavity’s not there. There’s just a couple of forum posts going nowhere, and that’s about it.

Shame.

On the other hand, when you’re playing Puzzle Pirates, you’re supposed to talk like a pirate all the time. So maybe an ITLAPD event would be redundant.

Meanwhile, I have not yet heard that an actual International Talk Like A Ninja Day has been declared. But when it has, and the day comes, you’ll know. That’ll be the day I don’t post a thing. Sshhhh…
