Your pirate name is:
Dirty William Rackham
You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name, since Rackham (pronounced RACKem, not rack-ham) is one of the coolest sounding surnames for a pirate. Arr!
"The Pirates That Don't Do Anything"
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything

and I've never been to Denver
and I've never buried treasure in ST Louie or ST Paul
and I've never been to Moscow
and I've never been to Tampa
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
and I've never hoist the main sail
and I've never swabbed the poop deck
and I've never veered starboard, cause I've never sailed at all
and I've never walked the gang plank
and I've never owned a parrot.
and I've never been to Boston in the fall
we are the pirates we don't do anything
we just stay at home, and lie around
and if you ask us, to do anything
we'll just tell you, we don't do anything
I've never plucked a rooster
and I am not too good at ping-pong
and I've never thrown my mashed potatoes up against the wall
and I've never kissed a chipmunk,

and I've never sniffed a stink bug
and I've never painted Daisies on a big red rubber ball
and I've never bathed in yogurt
and I don't look good in leggings
and I've never been to Boston in the fall

Honestly, Keira Knightley. I want you to shiver me timbers.
I'll show you why my Roger is so jolly.
How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
You better be prepared to be boarded, cuz I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon!
That's some treasure chest you've got there.
That's the finest pirate booty I've ever laid eyes on.
Okay, I'm done with the Pirate Pick Up Lines

I heard there's a new pirate movie out today. I don't know the name of it, but I hear is rated 'Arrrr'
I dressed up for the occasion. Me boss just keeps looking at me and shaking his head.
Captain Morgan, Black Bart Roberts - Welshmen. Not Bristolians. Forget that showman Blackbeard, if you respect either sheer quantity of ships taken (Roberts) or getting away with it and drinking yourself to death and having a brand of rum named after you (Morgan), it's got to be the Welsh pirates.
We be posting when we get around to it. Last night been Pirate's Day Eve, gotta be sleeping that off this mornin...

Or talk like a pirate's parrot day?

1. Pirate walks into a bar with a parrot on his shoulder. The bartender says, "hey, that's really cool: where did you get it?" The parrot says, "from a pirate ship, of course."
2. Pirate walks into a bar with a hook hand and an eyepatch. Bartender says "that's rough, man: what happened?" Pirate holds up his arm and says "arrr, swordfight." The bartender nods and asks about the eyepatch. Pirate says, "a gull shat in it." The bartender blinks and says "you wouldn't lose an eye from that, would you?" The pirate sighs and says "you would if it's your first day with a hook hand."
3. Pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel sticking out of his shorts, and says, "arr, bartender, bring me a flagion of rum!" The bartender says, "sure, pal, but what's with the steering wheel?" The pirate growls, "I don't know, but it's driving me nuts."
Nostalgia's not what it used to be.
A real pirate would never ask! A quick cut with your cutlass and they are yours forever! Or until you meet someone with a quicker cutting cutlass.

That's because it's widely speculated that FOX's programming plan is "watch what ABC does and then copy it."
I was all set to sign up for that show, but then I found out it had NOTHING at all to do with what I thought it did.
now that would have been entertaining.
Do you realize that the dad in that pirate family last night was one of the two guys that started Talk Like a Pirate Day? They even mentioned it quickly on the show.
But what if teenage == mutant?
Oh wait, it is.
