It's Talk Like a Pirate Day!!!

     Ahoy mateys! In honor of "Talk Like a Pirate Day," I've created a new pirate coloring page for ye! Here's Cap'n Book with his valuable treasure - a booty of books! Considering the last pirate I drew was downloaded from herrrre to Timbuktu, I wagered ye needed a new one. Arrr!
     Click the image to get to a printable one. As with all my coloring pages, if you color it and send it back (as a low resolution .jpg - about 300 pixels wide), I'll post some of 'em.
     In the mean time, ye scurvy dogs, here are some scalewag jokes for ye:

Q: What does a pirate say when he's having a heart attack?
A: Arrr! Me heartie!

Q: What goes thump-thump Arr!, thum-thump Arr!?
A: A priate falling down the stairs!

Q: Why couldn't the pirates play cards?
A: The captain was standing on the deck!

Q: Did you hear about the pirate who took up boxing?
