How could we have missed this milestone day?

International Talk Like a Pirate Day

A pirate walks into a bar.
The barkeep says, 'Hey, matey, where's your hat? You're wearing a paper towel, not a hat.'
The pirate says, 'Argh, I've got a bounty on me head.'
 
GREAT NEPTUNE'S MAN NIPPLES!!!! I can't believe we've missed it :(
 
The Celebration of the Holiday of the Day exactly like every other - that's July 13th IIRC.
 
Another overlooked hoilday is today, October 4, according to Grit Seisel (an early morning skit character) on WBAP.

National Talk Like a Trucker Day (10-4)
National Take a Trucker to Lunch Day
National Hug a Trucker Day
National Buy a Trucker a Cup of Coffee Day
National Help a Trucker Pay for a Colonoscopy Day

(all according to Grit, I swear)

Couldn't find an offical web page about this 'holiday' but did find this link here about trucker slang.

Comeback? (honk-honk)
 
Then Convoy must be the theme song...
Yeah, breaker one nine
This here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon

Uh, yeah, Ten-Four Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon
Yeah, its a big Ten-Four there Pig Pen
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, good buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we've got us a convoy

It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
And a Kenworth pullin' logs
Cab over Pete with a refer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin' for bear
On 'I-1-0
'Bout a mile out Shakey Town
I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down

'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a little 'ole convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA
Convoy
Convoy

Yeah, breaker Pig Pen this here's the Duck
And uh, you wanna back off them hogs
Uh, ten-four 'bout five mile or so
Ten-Roger them hogs is gettin' intense up here

By the time we got into Tulsa Town
We had eighty-five trucks in all
But they's a road block up on the clover leaf
And them bears was wall to wall
Yeah, them smokies as thick as bugs on a bumper
They even had a bear in the air
I says, callin' all trucks
This here's the Duck
We about to go a huntin' bear

'Cause we got a little 'ole convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a great big convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA
Convoy
Convoy

Uh, you wanna give me a ten-nine on that Pig Pen
Uh, negatory Pig Pen you're still too close
Yeah, them hogs is startin' to close up my sinuses
Mercy sakes, you'd better back off another ten

Well, we rolled up Innerstate fourty-four
Like a rocket sled on rails
We tore up all of our swindel sheets
And left 'em settin' on the scales
By the time we hit that Shy Town
Them bears was a gettin' smart
They'd brought up some reinforcements
From the Illinois national guard
There's armored cars and tanks and jeeps
And rigs of every size
Yeah, them chicken coops was full of bears
And choppers filled the skies
Well, we shot the line
We went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
And eleven long haired Friends of Jesus
In a Chartreuse microbus

Yeah, Rubber Duck 'tis Sod Buster
C'mon there
Yeah, Ten-Four Sod Buster
Listen, you wanna put that microbus
In behind that suicide jockey
Yeah, he's haulin' dynamite
And he needs all the help he can get

Well, we laid a strip for the Jersey Shore
Prepared to cross the line
I could see the bridge was lined with bears
But I didn't have a doggone dime
I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
We just ain't a gonna pay no toll
So we crashed the gate doin' 98
I says let them truckers roll
Ten-Four

'Cause we got a mighty convoy
Rockin' through the night
Yeah, we got a mighty convoy
Ain't she a beautiful sight
C'mon and join our Convoy
Ain't nothin' gonna get in our way
We gonna roll this truckin' convoy
'Cross the USA
Convoy
Convoy

Ah, Ten-Four
Pig Pen what's you're Twenty
Omaha
Well, they oughtta know what to do
With them hogs out there, fer sure
Well, mercy sakes good buddy
We gonna back on outta here
So keep the bugs off yer glass
And the bears off yer...tail
We'll catch you on the flip flop
This here's the Rubber Duck on the side
We gone
Bye, bye

You know about C W McCall, but what do you know about the guy that wrote the music for him, Chip Davis? What a wild combination; Davis's story is here and his music group is here.
 
well all righty then good buddy.

Don't know about the cup of joe, but where should I send the greenbacks for the butt scope for my favorite trucker?

Y'all watch out for the Smokies now.
 
Hey Good Buddies:

The dog on my dash is barking at a bear in the comedian; but after marker 186 you can put the hammer down.
 
Wow, it's been awhile, but this is still going on. :crazyeye:

Although KISS doesn't seem to be in as good of a position from when I last remember it... :(
 
Welcome back, Iroquis. :)

Yes, hopefully we will make a comeback. Its Doughtnuts + K.I.S.S. against M.I.A. :hammer:
 
Woot.. Hiya IroP!
 
They were wacked quite a bit IIRC, they got an army out of it though so i think have pulled the force back to their own shores ready to hunker in.
 
I'm curious, could someone explain how relations fell apart between us and MIA? Was it after TNT were destroyed, they felt it best to do a preemptive strike on us, or something else?
 
erm relations as far as i know had always been strained between KISS and MIA, after KISS and the nutters finally managed to kill me then a few turns after i became a KISS'er MIA launched an attack on KISS'land, knocking over the whole of the green island in 2 turns.

i think that yep they thought pre emptive would be best :)

That succinct history leads me to one conclusion - Simon is bad luck. Why do the fates hate you Simon? :D

Oh, and I have to add my love to the Whomper. Way to hang in there. We all appreciate it.
