I always wondered why there is a high Turnover for Dell Reps, apparently other people call them Bilge Rats. That would eventually drive me to quit.

Haha that is awesome!

In preparation for Talk Like a Pirate day, and crossing the “funny wifi names” thread, I renamed my home Access point to “ArrrHaus”.

BTW, if you use Facebook, one of their little-known features is that you can go into Language Settings and change your language to English (Pirate).

It changes the wording on your page. For example, instead of “Friends” it’s “People yer fond of”!

Aye - I spy a storm a brewing! placeholder graphic

sgriggs · 2012-09-14T13:18:47.000Z

There’s also a “L33t” language for us IT geeks LOL!

I’ve heard if you go to Krispie Kream on that day dressed as a pirate you get a free doz. glazed, if you go in with like an eye patch and give them an argh you might get a free donut or something.

Or, if they don’t know about it, you might just get… shot.

That’s good. I like it. So what would pirate talk be for mine? “Raggedy Ann”

Nicely done June. You’ll have to let us know how your rep responded.

Ok, bye…
