I'll go ahead and be the rain on the party.
Yoda-speak and Pirate-speak days are fun.
However, for people that don't speak english as their primary language (which this forum has a considerable number of), its incredibly confusing.
Add in the fact that many of the answers we give - in english - are already "incomplete answers", meant to guide people on the path to figuring out what they need instead of doing it for them, and suddenly, its incredibly annoying for them.
Even when I'm in a great mood, and know the topic, its honestly a little annoying even for me. It obscures the information.
Worse, its not as if those Wednesday and Thursday fun-day posts revert on Friday - they stick around, which makes things *really* confusing days later.
I understand the desire for fun, but please understand that there is an impact to choosing to do so here.
Sorry to rain on the parade.

I think it's fine in the General Discussion board, but I'd never use it anywhere else on this forum.
