Yes it's that time of year again, Pirate Day
(officially "Talk Like A Pirate Day"😉 is just over
2 weeks away. In the spirit of Pastafarianism
here is a little teaser for you.

What is the connection between this
special day and Hovis bread?

And the fallacious connection between the
answer and London's statue of Eros?

And the answer is Shaftesbury in Dorset, England.

Birthplace of the original screen pirate, Robert Newton and
location for the iconic Hovis ad directed by Ridley Scott.

Never heard of it; isn't this some kindergarten game from NZ?

Looks as though you take your “talking like a pirate” stuff pretty seriously.

I follow the teachings of Pastafarianism.

It's also a good excuse for fund-raising events and fun lessons.

Yes of course.
I boarded 3 private yachts yesterday,
took all their gold and silver and coconuts,
and redistributed them to the poor.
