It's a pirate's life for me

Pirate modeIn case you hadn't noticed, it is Talk Like A Pirate Day. You're going to have to deal with this stuff all day long. And just think how my kids are going to feel.
In case you aren't quite feeling up to the challenge, you can let the computer do much of your work for you. Check out this page of pirate translators. If you're using WordPress, there's a nifty text-to-pirate filter by Dougal Campbell you can install on your web page. If you don't have your own weblog, you can process anyone's through the Pirate Page Translator.
If you are using Expression Engine, as all the cool kids do, I've written a pirate translator plug-in for Expression engine that you can download and install. I freely admit that I stole the core code from Dougal Campbell, but that's OK—pirate, you know.
Just a word of warning: all your comments get filtered through the pirate plugin, too, so what you type isn't necessarily what you'll get. That's all part of the fun. This is a seductive technology, though…I'm tempted to write a sycophant plug-in to manipulate the comments further.
This be toooo hilarious.
