Ahoy ye little buzzers! You know what be the day today, don’t ye?
It be International Speak Like A Pirate Day! The only day when true scallywags & scoundrels like myself can truly break out of their inner social awkwardness and frighten the rum barrels out of anything that moves by shouting words at the top of our drunken lungs like “ahoy!,” “shiver me timbers,” and that scurvy classic and my personal favourite…
“ARGH!!!”
But today is not all about the ship sailing treasure hunters that we secretly be! No, today is also about Diabetes, a disease that affects us all – not just we pirates – and can’t be cured.
It can’t but cut out with cutlass or rapier, nor can it be shot out with lead from a cannon. It’s a tough little bugger and getting drunk on bottles or barrels of rum does not a thing except make you look foolhardy!
My own captain – my own dear Dad – has the disease and there’s always the risk this ol’ piratey dog might have it too.
So in honour of ye who suffers, here is a Buzz-Bee Bear.
Arrgggghhh… Happy Buzz Day and International Speak Like A Pirate Day everyone!
Edit: This actually went online a little under a week late…. but I won't tell anyone if you don't (*excluding anyone who actually read this italicised bit, of course)
