Or better yet, they should raid the comic and anime/manga conventions and harass the weeaboos. (For the actual adults amongst us, "Weeaboos", also known as "Wapanese", are Anime/Manga fans who fancy themselves to be Japanese, but behave mostly like the characters in the mangas and animes, NOT like actual Japanese. They even fantasize about going to Japan to live there and develop mangas and animes, though fortunately most of them can't afford to do that.) I suspect the Japanese find them as much of an oddity as we do.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-31-2009 01:47 PM                        quote: Joe Elliott There's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing Laughing, smiling, dancing and singing are all good things but one does not need a special "day" to engage in it. Also, the quote doesn't mention talking like a pirate anyway.  |  IP: Logged Peter Castle Expert Film Handler Posts: 220 From: Wollongong University, NSW ,Australia Registered: Oct 2003 posted 08-31-2009 08:29 PM                     Quote for this year's Talk Like a Pirate Day: "Would you like to buy this cheap DVD?"  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 08-31-2009 08:53 PM                  quote: John Wilson Phil and Mike...allow me.

Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-01-2009 03:46 PM                     I hear September 19 has also been gazetted 'International Kick A Person Speaking Like A Pirate In The Balls For Being Such A Dickhead And Needing A Special Day Designated To Talk Like A Pirate Day'. That's bad timing.  |  IP: Logged Andy Bajew Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Bellaire, Texas Registered: Jun 2009 posted 09-01-2009 08:04 PM                     This is almost as pointless as national weed day-...  |  IP: Logged
