In t’ interests o’ celebratin this day, a rum lovin’ friend of mine emailed Google t’ see if they’d be willin’ to change their logo t’ a Piratey theme. While Google rejected t’ request, the merry crew responded in Pirate-themed parlance. That be swash-bucklin’ customer service, me hearties. Below be the letter in a bottle he recieved.

Ahoy mate,

Thank’ee fer th’ logo ye be suggestin’. We enjoy celebratin’ horlidays at Google. As ye may imagine, it be terrible difficult fer us t’ choose which events t’ be celebratin’ on our site. We be hav’in a long list o’ horlidays that we’d be liken’ ter celebrate in th’ future. We be hav’in ter balance this rotatin’ calendar with th’ need te be maintainin’ the likeness o’ the Google homepage. Some horlidays that we no’ been celebratin’ in the past will be rotatin’ into our horliday doodles fer future years. Please remember ye can be visitin’ any o’ our doodles at http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html Arrrrrrr, The Google Team
