International Talk Like a Pirate Day

The following is a press release we just received from Astraware.

Arrrrr! Celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day with Astraware!

THE MIDLANDS, UK - 18th September 2006 - Avast me hearties!!! Tuesday 19th September is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and the Astraware Team is celebratin' once again! ARRR!

We're dressin' and talkin' like a pirate the whole day and when the workday is done we be bowlin' like pirates too (photographic evidence will be here soon)!

A word from our fine captain, Redbeard Tomlinson: "Arrr, now's yer chance to get a bit piratey - and if we don't get at least an Arrr out of ye, it'll be twelve strokes of the cat and no internet access for the rest of the day! A-harrr."

If ye want to join us in a bit of pirate fun, why not get your PDA or Smartphone shipshape with a copy of Tradewinds or Seven Seas. You can even get a few dubloons off the price! Visit our special piratey promo page for more information here: http://www.astraware.com/promo/pirate2006/

The fine shipmates at Marie Curie Cancer Care are also joining the pirate fun for the day, and in cooperation with Popcap Games and Sandlot Games we'll be donating the booty from both games to them at the end of the month.

This press release isn't really drastically different from most others... it has a product, the location to find the product and a reason why you would want to get the product, but... it's got a different enough twist to make it stand out from the ordinary... and I have to admit - it made me smile! That probably explains why I was in such a hurry to post it!
