Remember: It’s Talk Like A Pirate Day, not Dress Like A Pirate Day. We know lots o’ fans like to add some authentic (or not-so-authentic) touches to their wardrobe on the Big Day, but it’s not a requirement – unless ye happen to be heading for a parrrty or, say, Krispy Kreme for their annual doughnut giveaway.
