A story from Norway. A girl finds herself in a castle asked to spin impossible quantities of flax in just a night and a day. Three old women come to help her. -Story Prescription: A tale of women's power and intuition, of help from wiser generations, of respect for grandmothers. And a little bit of humour. _ To support my work financially you can become a regular patron on Patreon, and you will receive the gift of stories and folklore.

Now before I really get into this sermon, I’d like all of you to repeat a few words after me. Here we go: “aaaaarrrggghh”, “shiver me timbers”, “I’ll make ye walk the plank”. Well done. You’re now fully prepared for a major event on the global calendar. Wednesday of this week is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. It’s true - the 19th of September. For the simple reason that it’s fun to call someone a scurvy rat. This important festival was started in 1995 by people with far too much time on their hands named John Baur and Mark Summers, and in the last 23 years it has gained momentum like a Spanish galleon in full sail. According to the Web site talklikeapirate.com, it has become so popular that they have issued a set of guidelines for how to celebrate the day in the workplace. For example, you need to wear red and black, and don’t be afraid to accessorize with an eye patch or a parrot.

In this episode of Confetti Park, Katy Hobgood Ray interviews Ol’ Chumbucket, the co-creator of International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19. Chumbucket, also known as John Baur in certain circles, lives in New Orleans today (he has lived in many places including the Virgin Islands) and spends much of his time traveling the pirate festival circuit promoting his books and pirate culture. Chrissie Warren: Pirate Hunter, is his latest. It’s a truly entertaining young adult book about a 13-year-old girl in colonial Virginia who disguises herself as a boy in order to sign onto a merchant ship. What drives her to such rash madness? She must rescue her father, who has been taken by terrible pirates. This book is a great ride! Ol’ Chumbucket has co-authored at least eight books about pirate culture with his buddy Cap’n Slappy (a.k.a Mark Summers, the co-creator of Talk Like a Pirate Day), including A Li’l Pirate’s ABSeas, “a piratical romp through the alphabet with all that that implies. Sometimes rude, sometimes downright dangerous and subversive, but always fun and always funny.” Kids in the Algiers Point neighborhood where Confetti Park is located were very lucky to have Ol’ Chumbucket come to the Hubbell Library. He and the NOLA Pyrates Society sang sea shanties and shared pirate lore. Katy recorded this interview with Chumbucket outside the library located near the river. (You can hear the wind! Sorry for the rumbles.) Here she talks to him about the genesis of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and they uncover what it is that makes pirates so universally appealing. Says Chumbucket: “Pirates, they’re an expression of freedom. We always tell people it’s ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’—not ‘Commit Felonies Like a Pirate Day.’ We’re not advocating you actually waylay a Spanish galleon. But… pirates were the freest people on earth. They lived by their own rules; they rejected convention. So when you go out and live your life for YOU instead of the rules that everybody else’s putting on you, the TV ads that tell you you have to smell like this, and the magazine ads that tell you you have to wear these shoes… if you do what you want, because it’s what you want, then you’re living like a pirate.” For more information about Ol’ Chumbucket, visit his websites https://baurlife.com/ and http://talklikeapirate.com/.
For extended show notes and more pirate goodies, visit www.UnderTheCrossbones.com You've been asking for them and now here they are! Mark Summers and John Baur have done almost as much for pirates in popular culture in recent years as Johnny Depp has. And they kind of did it my accident and the behest of others. Talk Like A Pirate Day happens every September 19th. In this interview I dig in with John and Mark on how the holiday started to happen and what they did to make it go as viral as it has. (Clue: As little as possible) Plus we get into the TLAPD extended universe of sorts and what they're working on now. Today's show is sponsored by: Naufragant - Get their new single, "The Black Corsair" from the upcoming album based on the classic pirate novel. Plus comedy from Nick Hoffman and a song called "Black and White" by Demon In Me.
