Just in case you were wondering, The Girl is adjusting quickly and well to college life. Yesterday I got a text from her, along with a couple of pictures. It seems that the local Krispie Kreme donut place was running a promotion for Talk Like a Pirate Day. Did you know that yesterday was Talk Like A Pirate Day? Yah, neither did I, but I live in southern Idaho and don't get out much. If you came in dressed like a pirate, you could get free donuts.
So here she is, and instead of a parrot on the shoulder, she brought along a dead puffer fish. I kid you not, she has a DDT in her college apartment...and it's not hers. It belongs to one of her roommates. Makes a good prop, though.
And a couple of her friends who went along with her. They raked in 39 donuts. I have no idea if they ate them all...perhaps she'll share that bit of information in the comments. I love that not only did she drag along the fish, but her roommate actually fashioned a hook and blacked out one of her teeth. Yep, having way too much fun.
Ah, the things college kids will do for free food! Nasty puffer fish.

I actually did know that it was talk like a pirate day but can honestly say, I didn't participate. Not even once. Lol!
So how many donuts does one receive when conversing in pirate?

LOVE the fun pirate promotion AND her enthusiastic participation! That puffer fish makes the get-up complete, I tell ya. :)
and I DID know it was talk like a pirate day, but it was also Korean Chuseok (Harvest Moon--one of two biggest holidays in the country) and I was thinking along those lines all day instead of pirates. :) Next year Chuseok will not coincide with pirates (lunar calendar holidays move around), so I'll do something swashbuckling and fun for pirate day!

technically, I only got 1 donut for talking like a pirate the others were for dressing up like a pirate.
