You knew this was coming. It may seem childish, but I like the holiday simply because I like pirates and piracy in general and have from a very early age.
Of course I'm not the kind of person who goes around and dresses & acts like a pirate at every opportunity I get, mainly because I don't have the means or time required to do so. But I totally would if I could.
And so today, here I sit for the second year in a row merely being a speculator and minor celebrator of this (what I consider) awesome pseudo-holiday, finding it a great opportunity to bring out the kid in me who enjoys pirates and piracy, life on the high seas, and the Age of Sail. It also has a way of bringing out the adult in me, who likes pointless and esoteric holidays and cultural phenomena such as this.
I'm sure somebody else around here enjoys the speculation or actively participates in it. Anyone?
