Arr!
Avast! It be Talk Like A Pirate Day, me hearties!
Get talking like pirates, ye scurvy sons o’dogs. Ye knows it makes sense.
If ye needs help talking like a pirate (ye landlubber!) then mayhaps ye should avail yerself of a pirate keyboard. I’ll sell ye mine for forty doubloons. If I knew what a doubloon was, which I don’t. Arr!
‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ is actually surprisingly good… and it’s got Miles from ‘This Life’ in it!

Arr! That be a spoiler, incidentally, so you’re lucky I was watching on Sky. And now I can’t think of him in the Hallowe‘en costume without it being really poignant…

If it makes you feel any better, remember that Xander ended up looking like a pirate by the end of Buffy.

I’ve just looked up the episode transcript and I reckon I might be really offended now :-)
In foreground is Xander, dressed as a pirate, talking to some children. He holds a jar.
XANDER: Arrr! Careful, me mateys! These be fireflies spat from a volcano off the coast of Katmandu. Arr!
LITTLE BOY: (dressed as a fireman) You’re not a real pirate! Real pirates live on boats and don’t look stupid!
XANDER: (fake laugh) Oh, a salty swabbie! Maybe you be fishin’ for the taste … of me hook!
He shakes his hook-hand in the boy’s face. The boy is unimpressed.
GILES: (calls) Uh, hello, Ahab, a little help please?
XANDER: Arr, and help ye shall have, arr!
Xander gives the boy a menacing look and goes off, scratching his neck with the hook.

Just because I haven’t seen Pirates of the Caribbean yet. Shiver me timbers. :-)

Sorry Aq, but you’re coming across more like Xander in the S6 Buffy Halloween ep, and less like (swoon) Captain Jack Sparrow.
Nice try though ;)
(and excuse me while I go look at pics of Jack) ;)
