The Bonehead Brothers Pirate My Facebook

SOMEONE Pirated my Facebook!
And NOW they must WALK THE PLANK!

Okay, I don’t know which ONE of the Boneheads did this. It could have even been Bonehead junior (Parker).

When I logged onto Facebook, everything was in Piratese or Piratish or Piratalian. Anyway….SOMEONE got on my Facebook and went to the Settings and changed the Language to English – PIRATE. (yes there is such a language)

Mmmhmmmm. And by so doing, committed me to be a translator for Facebook!
At first, I thought EVERYONE’s page was in Pirate. Maybe I was out of the coolness and everybody in the world knew about this "new" Facebook.

Home read Home Port
Friends = Me Hearties
Inbox = Bottle O Messages
I could understand all that!

But I didn’t take 3 years of Pirate in high school, so I was having a hard time with “make yer mark,”

“44 shots o rum ago,”

"parrot,"

and “Hoisted bout 2 turns o the hourglass past.”

It only took me HALF A DAY to figure out that I was the only one of Facebook’s 13 billion accounts in Pirate.


I kept asking friends, I mean, "me hearties," and they all thought I was crazy. Luckily Settings in Pirate translates to “settins” so I could switch it back.

Update – Garrett came home for lunch and I mentioned the piracy:
Me: "SOMEONE got on my Facebook and switched my page from English to Pirate."

Garrett (bored): “Oh. I didn’t do it.”
Me: “Hmmm......It must have been Parker. I suspected as much.”
Garrett (still bored): “Yeah I suggested he do it. He must have done it.”

G-U-I-L-T-Y! They are BOTH GUILTY
