Today is Talk Like A Pirate Day!
Talk Like a Pirate Day only comes once a year (on September 19th), this year it falls on a Monday. On talk like a pirate day, everyone talks as if they were a pirate. For instance, instead of saying something like this:
The commitee has decided to reallocate your time to the filing group. We look forward to the exciting new synergies between these departments.
You would say this:
Aye matey, those scalawags in their fine breeches want ye' to move o'er with the scurvy dogs yonder. If ye' don't come back with some fine booty, we be keelhaulin' you next morn!
If you're not ready yet, you can learn more about this international holiday on the AboutPirateDay page or practice some phrases from the PiratePhrases page. After all, you don't want to be handed the BlackSpot when the holiday is over!
Ahoy mateys!
Pirate pick-up lines:

But, alas, Mates: I'm not knowin' why.
Ray Stevens sang "The Pirate Song."

"Belay your swivel tongue!"
"Give 'im a drop o' rum to warm 'is belly as 'e passes over."
"Whale's bile--that's what you be."

"Bide 'ere a while till I gives the signal."
"Clap on sail and look sharp about it."
"Lay to and dispose o' them remains. Lively now!"

"Sometimes them what quotes the Bible has less Bible in their hearts than them what don't."
"Why you stupid squids. Can't you see? With Mendozer playin' ducks 'n' drakes w' that man o' war, now be our chance to take over this 'ere craft."
"Shiver my timbers, a landlubber I'll never be."
"He clings to you like pitch 'e does."
"Strike me, you're a smart one. Smart as paint I always said."
"You blasted wharf rat."
"Milk? I be poisoned! I've too harrowing a tale to tell for milk."
"We've run afoul a diplomatic reef."
