Friday is Talk Like a Pirate Day. Squawk!!! (oh, sorry, that was from 'Talk like a Parrot Day').

Cast away, ye scurvy knave.

I suck at this, actually. I need to practice. Squaaw--aaaarrrrrrgh!

According to wikipedia, "The holiday is observed by the followers of the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, who consider pirates to be divine beings."

Sadly I exhaused my entire pirate-y vocab in 30 seconds. But I found a couple of websites to help out.

I dared one of the staff to pirate talk when he was on the reference desk. Strangely enough, he refused. Not because he thought they'd be annoyed, but because he thought (probably rightly) that they'd pick up on it and never, ever stop.
