Aarg.

It's Talk Like A Pirate Day [9] today … me … mateys (and it helps if you
think of this as being spoken by Bob Newhart [10], who did a fantastic sendup
of pirates in his show Newhart [11]).

Avast, ye … ye … ye swabbies (what is “avasting” anyway?).

Update later this night

Bunny wrote in saying that “avast” is a nautical term meaning “to stop.” How
that term came about I don't know (nor did Bunny mention in her email).
