Ahoy, mateys! Today be the official Talk Like A Pirate Day and the Ministry o’ Intrigue will be celebrating by servin’ up all me text as pirate speak fer the duration.

This be accomplished by activatin’ a piece o’ Django middleware as suggested in thar Django Master Class and I be using the pirate filter ported to Python by the swashbucklin’ Jacob Kaplan-Moss.

So go and celebrate proper or ye’ll be keelhauled or at least made to walk the plank!

UPDATE: Well that was fun. :-) Now the holiday is over, so I’m turning the middleware off.
