I don't know if it constitutes a lawful order, but I instructed my NCOs to observe TLAPD. I got a good long 'arrgh' out of one of my sergeants in an email...

Lucky you. All I got was blank stares and comments like, "What is that, a Navy thing?"

Srsly, why is the FSM trying to usurp our holiday? Is it just a coincidence?

Don't ye be fergettin' I be the reason for the season, matey!

Argh, but Pirates be Divine Beings in the eyes (Or eye, if there be a patch) of Pastafarians.

The fewer be the number of Pirates, the warmer be the planet, savvy?

From Wiki:
According to the Pastafarian belief system, pirates are "absolute divine beings" and the original Pastafarians.[2] Their image as "thieves and outcasts" is misinformation spread by Christian theologians in the Middle Ages and Hare Krishnas. Pastafarianism says that they were in fact "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children.

It should be noted that in theory, one should only spread the Word of the FSM whilst attired in the official religious robes of an FSM priest: Full Pirate regalia.

There have already been instances of religious persecution in schools.

That is very enlightening. Not being a Pastafarian myself, I feel like one of those Romans back in the day lighting a Christmas tree before Jesus was even born. Those silly pagans!

That's pathetic. Do you think they would find a way maintain discipline in the school if a student suffered an eye injury? Dumbasses.

I can't believe I missed it. Hats off to that school kid. Keep up the good fight.
