2.) Dress up, even if it's just a bandanna and a giant hoop earring. Bonus points if you can find a stuffed parrot to sit on your shoulder!
3.) Make up as many "AAARRR" jokes as you can, like "How come the pirate walked to school? Because he didn't have a CAAARRR!"

5.) Find your pirate name by answering a few questions at www.piratequiz.com.
6.) Visit any Krispy Kreme location and "if ye speak like a pirate" get 1 original glazed donut for FREE! AND, if you "dress like a pirate", you get a whole dozen original glazed donuts FREE!! Blow Me Down!!
