Open Up and Say, "Arr"

(Fishers, IN) - Or, "Arr, Matey". I'm fond of "Off me wooden leg, ye salty dog!"

Yes, today is Talk Like A Pirate Day. Make sure to do your part.

Dear Editor:

Each year at this time the foundation asks you to register key staff at www.inpolicy.org.

This ensures that every Monday morning the “Indiana Writers Group” column goes to the correct person and e-mail address. Registration also allows you access to three years of downloadable IPR journals and files (searchable by topic, keyword or author).

And yes, our 14 columnists, most of them holding doctorates, will do their best to be available at deadline.

Recent Contributors:

Andrea Neal — Formerly editorial page editor of the Indianapolis Star, Neal was recognized three consecutive years as the state’s top editorial writer, holding the 1998 National Award for Education Writing. Fluent in Spanish, Neal studied at the University of the Americas in Mexico. She teaches history at St. Richard’s School in Indianapolis.

Cecil Bohanon, Ph.D. — A founding contributor to the quarterly journal, Dr. Bohanon is a professor of economics at Ball State University. He can be counted on to be among the first to constructively question the projections and economic rationale of government projects or programs.

Not sure what the above has to do with Pirates, but Bob & Tom have been talking like pirates on Talk Like A Pirate day ever since I can remember. Usually it is some very funny stuff. Your post reminded me of our Hoosier radio guys and gal.

Yeah, I kind of surprised that the Indiana Policy Review spammed my comments. I like their work, but I really don't care for spam.

I get a kick out of pirate-ese. There's a great song by a band called Rats of Unusual Size, called, "Argh!" It's great rocking, and funny stuff besides. I'll have to find my copy here...
