Well Blow Me Down: A Guys Guide to Talking Like a Pirate

by John Baur, Mark Summers

Avast, ye scurvy dogs and saucy wenches! The Pirate Guys – Mark "Cap'n Slappy" Summers and John "Ol' Chumbucket" Baur – were as surprised as anyone when their idea for Talk Like a Pirate Day went around the world in just two years. In 2003 more than 19 million people on seven continents took part in the fun. The Pirate Guys have been seen and heard on CNN, National Public Radio, the BBC, Radio Ireland, and plenty more radio stations and newspapers around the globe. Now they share their booty of pirate lore and high seas hijinks in Well Blow Me Down. With an introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winner Dave Barry, the Guys tell the how and why of talking like pirates in a "drop-dead funny" book that will shiver your timbers and make any landlubber swagger with pirattitude.

[Carrie Rolph · Rating 2 out of 5]

Any book where they admit to a "grudging admiration for actor Alan Hale Jr." and debate the similarity of his acting style with his father's acting style (they *were* freakishly alike), that's a book worth reading.
