Can we have "Talk Like a Pirate Day" last all year?

Well, if we live exclusively on Facebook, we can. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page, and click on the 'English (US)' link. That'll get you into the language display preferences for your account. Select "English (Pirate)" and you can transmogrify your facebook account into some sort of 18th century-21st century mashup of language and technology.

Relevance to web experience design: language, and especially vernacular language, MATTERS. If you give people something they like, but aren't expecting, you can engage them at a deeper emotional level. It's up to you to make sure you engage them positively rather than negatively, so do your homework.
