  Captain Iron James Roberts

  
  Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes
  you’re the one in charge. You can be a little bit unpredictable, but a
  pirate’s life is far from full of certainties, so that fits in pretty
  well. Arr!

  ye can no be a pirate without a pirate name. Be clickin here to plunder one fer yeself, me hearties
  Now that ye be having yer name, ye should be learnin to speak with a more piratical bent…here be some tips

  The Five’s A’s-the most important words in a pirate lexicon, as taught by capn slappy and chumbucket
  How to talk like a pirate- a 50′s style educational video

  Now that ye be knowing how to talk like a pirate, it be time to party like one
  
  The official Pirates of the Carribean drinking game 2006
  
  1. All your drinks must have rum- rum and coke, rum and water, rum and juice, straight shots of rum (VERY NOT A GOOD IDEA GIVEN THE AMOUNT OF DRINKING YOU WILL DO), but rum must be involved

  2. If at any point once the game has begun, one of the players is caught not talking like a pirate, they must take a drink

  3. If a player is caught doing such 3 times, they have to walk the plank…i.e. dunk their head in the sink or the tub

  4. After obtaining your drinks, begin the movie pirates of the caribbean: curse of the black pearl.
     Take a drink whenever:
    -The words “Pirates”  “of” “the” or “carribean” is said
    -Jack says “savvy”
    -Jack gets slapped
    -Bootstraps medallion changes hands
    -anyone say’s ARRRR
    -whenever you see a parrot
    -Jack considers using that bullet on someone other than barbossa
    -Jack corrects someone who didnt call him captain
    -you see or hear reference to booty
  
  by this point i be guessin that ye be good and sloshed. Here be some songs ye can be bellowing with yer mates and wenches

  The official talk like a pirate day song and lyrics

  Pirate Fed Ex Commercial
  A Pirates life
  Pirates vs ninjas

  Talk Like a Pirate day 2005

  Yo, Ho, Yo, Ho,
  It’s “Talk Like A Pirate” Day!
  When laptops are benches God gave us for wenches,
  And a sail ain’t a low price to pay!
  When timbers are shivered and lillies are livered
  And every last buckle is swashed,
  We’ll abandon our cars for a shipfull of ARRRs
  And pound back the grog till we’re sloshed. Yo ho ….

  til then, happy plunderin, ye scurvy sea dogs!

  -J
