Heads-up: Talk Like a Pirate Day is tomorrow!

Whitney Matheson | USA TODAY

I know many of you would be devastated if you missed it, so today I'm just doing my journalistic duty by reminding you that International Talk Like a Pirate Day is tomorrow.

The holiday, which has been running for more than a decade now, encourages people all over the world to engage in pirate-speak. Phrases like "Ahoy, matey!" and "Drink up, me hearties!" are encouraged, and the word "Arrrr!" is an absolute necessity.

Oddly enough, tomorrow Krispy Kreme will celebrate the holiday by giving a free glazed donut to anyone who talks like a pirate. Dress like a pirate, and you'll nab a dozen free donuts. (For details, go to krispykreme.com/pirate.)

Need a little help with the lingo? Talk Like a Pirate Day's official site offers a guide to pirate vocabulary, as well as pirate games, merch and info about the holiday's origin. Mango Languages is also offering a free course in how to speak pirate.

Good luck with your preparation! If you feel so inspired, send me Vine/Instagram/whatever video of yourself talking like a pirate (via Twitter or popcandy@usatoday.com), and I may share it on the blog tomorrow.
