Talk Like a Pirate Day

It's "Talk Like a Pirate Day."  In celebration, I'm going to talk like my pirate all day.  Indeed, I'm going to use "the most accurate" word for everything and discuss important topics like homemade computers, codes and semiconductors. 

 It's not so much that he likes to use big words, it's more that he likes to enlist the aid of the most accurate language in order to communicate the unbiased truth.  I'll probably strum my guitar, smoke my pipe and read some Thoreau.  Some piece about "walks." Perhaps I'll take a walk - with my pipe.

If you too would like to celebrate The Pirate, consider using a few of these portmanteaus at your dinner table tonight in tribute to the mathlete. 

John told me a while back that I could decorate his apartment.  I've wanted for some time to decorate a guy's apartment.  We'd done a few small things here and there so far but not much.  Just in time for us to get serious about it - he found a new apartment. :)  He wasn't sure how serious he was about moving, but I lined up a few places for us to check out last weekend and the second one we saw was a huge steal.  And still close enough to his work for him to walk each day.  He decided he wanted it, and luckily we were some of the very first to see it.  He filled out the forms and signed the check before the rest ever showed up for the open house.  Tomorrow he'll be signing the lease. 

I've already created a new Pinterest board.  :)  His new lease will overlap for an entire month with his current one, so we have time to paint, clean and decorate.  It's probably close to 3 times the size of his current place (okay, maybe only 2x, but the King of Hyperbole will forgive me for the gross exaggeration), with plenty of windows and good lighting, old hardwood floors and thick white trim.  It's going to be a very handsome manly abode.  And it's going to be a blast getting it there!
