Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Samantha will love that it is pirate day. She has a patch (left over from my early Bell's Palsy days), a red bandana, some knickers and a hook. She thinks she is it when she sports her pirate gear.
When she was 2 or 3 she used to put on all of her pirate stuff with just her diaper and run around saying "arrrrggghhh". We would call her the naked pirate.

The radio station I listen to fell in love with this concept last year, and run it into the ground enough for me to find another station to listen to for the day.....
Of course, I miss the thread we had on the TUB 2 years ago where me, mini, and Rexer kept changing the word Pirate in the subject line. Classic silliness.....

We can't forget Robert Newton
He is best remembered for playing the feverish-eyed Long John Silver in the Walt Disney movie version of Treasure Island. His Disney portrayal provided the template for most screen portrayals of pirates ever since and he is often credited with originating the style of speech generally equated with pirates. After his spectacular turn as Long John Silver in the Disney version of Treasure Island , actors playing pirates in film, radio, television, and theatre, all tended to use (and still use) the same pseudo-Cornish accent Newton came up with. He has even become the "patron saint" of the annual International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19
