Talk Like A Grizzled Prospector Day, Jan. 24, 2015

This Saturday, Jan. 24, is Talk Like A Grizzled Prospector Day! It’ll be perzactly 167 years since the day when gold(!) was discovered at Sutter’s Mill, settin’ off Californee’s big Gold Rush! And all ye gotta do t’ celebrate this historical day appropriate-like is to talk like a dag-nabbed grizzled prospector!

This year, purt near everybody's talking about TLAGPD, including such high-falutin' publications as Uncle John's Bathroom Reader and the Heritage Hill Assisted Living Newsletter (Caro, MI).
An’ this year I figger ye ain’t got no excuse no-how fer not talkin’ like a dad-gummed grizzled prospector, since she falls on a Saturday. Yer bosses, grubstakers, ‘n’ whatnot cain’t rightly put up a fuss, seein’ as yer talkin’ like a grizzled prospector on yer own durn time.

So, tell yer friends, mark your calendar, and be ready to talk like a grizzled prospector, consarn it! Here’s some Interwebby-type link fer sharin’ with yer amigos:
