It's International Talk Like A Pirate Day again!

grog (grog) noun
1. An alcoholic drink, especially rum diluted with water.
2. Any strong alcoholic drink.

[After Old Grog, nickname of Admiral Edward Vernon (1684-1757), who ordered diluted rum to be served to his sailors. The admiral earned the nickname from his habit of wearing a grogram cloak. Grogram is a coarse fabric of silk, wool, mohair, or a blend of them. The word grogram is from French gros grain (large grain or texture).]

It's Can(n)on in honor of International Talk Like a Pirate Day and fictional heroine Hermione Granger's birthday, both today.

While I am bummed out that Google didn't have anything piratey on its logo today, you make sure you post to your LJ today and examine the post button... :) Avast!
