Arrr, Today Is Talk Like A Pirate Day In Maine, And Everywhere Else Too For That Matter

Historians will swear up and down that back in the 17th century pirates made their way to Maine, and we'd have to agree, because even today, so many Mainers seem to appreciate the rowdy swashbucklers of yesteryear, and even be able to talk like one.

We event gave you 10 spots to search for pirate treasure here in Maine, including Penobscot Bay and Mount Desert Island!  There may be loot buried under that big pine tree.

There's numerous festivals celebrating pirates too!  Like the Eastport Pirate Festival, the Darmariscotta Pirate Rendezvous, and the Pirate Festival at Fort Knox in Prospect!

Heck, we even have pirates on a miniature golf course too with Pirate's Cove Adventure Golf in Bar Harbor!

Now here's our favorite pirate pick-up lines that you can have fun with at the office, courtesy of TalkLikeAPirate.com!  Think that you can say one of these while talking like a pirate?  Call 991-9713 today and lay it on me!
