As for me, I’ve assigned myself extra rum rations all day, and gotten myself a Pirate Name — Red Flint Charity (and I’ll take a machete to the scurvy bilge rats who don’t like it!)
Kavips has lots more links and fun, including instructions on how to turn your Facebook page into pirate language.
And then there’s Pirate Lingo for LEET Speak for you texting fiends.

Pirate Joke from my email:
A pirate with an eye patch, a hook, and a peg leg walks into a tavern and orders a rum. Curious, the bartender says, “You look like you’ve been through a lot of sea battles. How did you get the peg leg?” The pirate answered, “Arrgh, a cannonball blew me leg right off in the midst of battle!”
“Wow! And how about the hook?” asked the bartender.
“Arrgh, me hand was eaten by a shark on the high seas!”
“That’s amazing! And the eye patch?”
“Arrgh, a seagull crapped in me eye.”
Confused, the bartender asked the pirate, “How can you lose your eye from seagull crap?”
Replied the pirate, “Well, it was me first day with the hook.”
Arrrgh!
Is this in honor of the flying spaghetti monster?
“A pirate enters t’ bar, and grabs a stool. T’ bartender notices a steerin’ wheel stickin’ out from his zipper… Knowin’ that peg legs and hooks replace limbs on most pirates, t’ bartender makee his guess as t’ why a steerin’ wheel was in that location… So he ask t’ inevitable question… Why be thar a steerin’ wheel stickin’ out o’ your zipper?
“It’s me buxom beauty; she’s drivin’ me nuts.””
