With the Gasparilla pirate invasion coming Saturday 1/29, we turned to www.talklikeapirate.com for their list of the best pirate pickup lines. This is the site, by the way, that promotes International Talk Like a Pirate Day on Sept. 19. We're pretty sure they have real jobs also.

Best pirate pickup lines

That's some treasure chest ya got there.

Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why me Roger is so Jolly?

Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?

That's the finest pirate booty I've ever laid me eyes on.

I've sailed the seven seas, and you're the sleekest schooner I've ever sighted.

I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.

Come on up and see me urchins.

Ya know, darlin, I'm 97 percent chum free.

Prepare to be boarded.

Well blow me down?

Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
