If you like silly "Day of Whatever" days, today should be one that delights you - after all, it won't get much sillier than "Talk like a Pirate Day". Arr. There's even a website about it - and I just discovered that it has a section about German pirate (or, more generally, marine) language, explaining it to English speakers.
The most pirate-y that I've gotten yet was probably paddling holidays...
... which isn't very close. But it's also far less dangerous!
