Campus fills with scallywags, arrggghhh.

Friday marked the celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, thrusting students across campus and their “mateys” into a frenzy of “argghhs” and “ahoys.”

“Argghh matey, it adds some spice to my day, which is usually lacking. It also provides an opportunity for me to showcase my mad lingual abilities,” said Sarah Williams, a sophomore international studies major. 

Williams said she and her friends tried to use pirate language, but they weren’t going to dress up. 

Although the number of students who actually recognize the day is low, those who do truly seem to enjoy it. The Lincoln Journal Star even paid homage to the day with an article describing its origin and its celebration.

Personally, I wouldn’t talk like a scallywag for all the loot in the world.
