Well, I tried to talk like a pirate

I really did. But I ended up sounding more like an old prospector.

Hmmmm, William Lewis Manly's anniversary of crossing Death Valley is coming up. Perhaps I should champion a "Talk Like a Prospector" day. I'll rustle up some flapjacks for vittles. That's better than eating shoe leather, don't you think?

I already have my burro.
