Poll: Movie Sea Pirate Captain You Most Want To Emulate
Talk Like a Pirate Day is a global celebration to enjoy channeling your inner pirate for the whole world to see every September 19th. The day provides an opportunity to break out of your routine, learn some history, celebrate a bygone era and have some fun. While some simply inject an ahoy!, a blimey, a heave ho, a shiver me timbers!, or a few yo ho hos into their speech when appropriate throughout the day, others choose a next level approach that includes dressing and acting the part, in addition to a full treatment of pirate lingo infused into every conversation throughout the day.
Which of these selected live-action movie acting performances of a sea pirate captain would you choose to emulate for their speech, their dress, their mannerisms and otherwise on "World Talk Like a Pirate Day" each year?
