For the uninformed, today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Its got a lot of the crew rattlin’ their swords and celebratin’...well…nothing really, just like we did in 2006 and 2005.

The story is a long and twisted yarn. Arrghhh! It started with Dave Barry, the humor columnist and one of his recently divorced friends. Arrrh!

What does this have to do with the real estate economy? Nothing.

UPDATE: My web developer’s site TalkLikeAPirateDay.com was taken down. It shares servers with us and tens of thousands came to it today and brought my blogs and web site to a stand still. Amazing.
