Taking place each year on September 19, Talk Like a Pirate Day was officially started in 1995 by two Oregon-based pirate lovers. The event has evolved beyond simple pirate speech with people inserting “piratey activities” into their everyday life by eating, drinking, dressing, blogging, laughing, Tweeting, and gaming like a pirate!

The Monkey Island pirate game phenomenon all started in 1990 with LucasArts The Secret of Monkey Island, a graphical adventure PC title featuring an aspiring pirate named Guybrush Threepwood. The game was an instant critical success and has since spawned three additional titles, making it one of the most enduring videogame franchises of all time.
