Okay, this is a post just for fun. I repeat, just. for. fun.
Recently, there was some discussion about how Talk Like a Pirate Day cannonballed its way into our Wednesday night children's church program for one brief arghhh-inducing second. There were people who didn’t care for it, and people who did (like me).
My office has been celebrating Talk Like a Pirate Day for the past six years. Seriously.
“Arghhh, matey, hand over that memo and no one gets stapled!”
So, I put on my thinking cap and came up with some Baptist alternatives to Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here we go! (I repeat, this is just for fun. I am NOT recommending you tell children to “Talk like a Pharisee.”)
Talk like an Angel
Talk like a Prophet
Talk like an Apostle
Talk like a Wiseman
Talk like a Psalmist
Talk like a Roman
Talk like a Pharaoh
Talk like a Shepherd
Talk like a Disciple
Talk like a Samaritan
Talk like a Carpenter
Talk like an Innkeeper
Talk like a Fisherman
Talk like an Arc Builder
Talk like a Tax Collector
Talk like an Israelite King
Talk like a Virtuous Queen
Talk (or Bray) like a Camel
Talk like a Patriarch/Matriarch
Talk like a Man Trapped in a Whale
Talk like You’ve Been Wandering in the Wilderness for a Really Long Time
Thanks, folks! I'm here all week!

You're cute!
hilarious! here's a couple more...
Talk Like An Egyptian
(we could even have a musical theme for that one--"oh-way-oh")
Talk Like There's No Tomorrow Because the Sun Is Standing Still Today
Talk Like a Donkey to His Numbskull Owner
Talk Like Only a Linguistics Genius Could at the Top of the Tower of Babel
Joy - I debated adding the Egyptian one, too. So funny, and comes with its own theme music as you pointed out!
I was also going to mention Balaam, but...I couldn't figure out how to say it. I figured I was already pushing the envelope as "fisherman" is perilously close to "pirate." Whew! So far, no one's called me on it!
I'd just love to hear how some of those characters talk! I think I may be rendered speechless on some of those days. =)
16 men on a dead man's chest, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum --er, Diet Coke.
