September 19, 2020 – Talk Like A Pirate Day| National Dance Day

How Might Ye Be Celebrating Today, Matey?

Welcome to September 19th, 2020 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate scurvy sea dogs and cutting a rug.

Ahoy, me hearties! Batten down the hatches for one of the best days of the year. It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, when you can unleash your inner buccaneer and pretend you’re a wiley old sea dog. Why say: “okay” when you can say “Arrrg” instead? And why let Johnny Depp have all the fun?  Some places offer discounts when you dress like a pirate and order like one too.  But steer clear of landlubbers who cant take a joke, because clearly you’ve been waiting for this day all year. 

Anna: Do you have any pirate jokes, Marlo?

Marlo: What’s a pirate’s favorite letter?

Anna: Uh, ‘R’?

Marlo: No it’s the ‘C.’

Though you may have two left feet on the dance floor, no one can resist cutting loose to their favorite tune.  And while you may not admit it, great dance scenes in movies can make you bust a move in your living room. Think twist contest in Pulp Fiction or “We Go Together” from Grease. Hey, Marlo has that ever happened to you?  What’s your favorite dance scene from a movie?  Uh, John…you got anything? For me it’s gotta be the final scene from “Footloose.”  I mean the whole movie builds to that point in a town that’s banned music and dance. So every time I replay that movie I have to get up and dance.   And I’m totally outing Chris right now but his favorite is the tap dance scene in “La La Land.”  On National Dance Day bust out your own moves, even if it’s in your living room with the cast of your favorite movie.
