There’s no romance in piracy.

Does anyone have a good reference for Indonesian and Malaysian dialect and pidgin? I want my Talk like a Pirate Day experience to be authentic. Ideally I should sound like real pirates: boatloads of emaciated Malay drug addicts who swarm freighters in the Malacca Straits and hack up the crew with dull machetes, shrieking happily.

Or maybe Somali. Ships are supposed to stay > 100 miles off the coast of Somalia to avoid the local industry there, too.

Well…you had your chance, but you blew me down. I walked the plank into a sea of dreams, only to land on a see turtle. If only you could sea with that one good I ‘o yers. See me. Touch me. Feel me. Heel me. Seal me. Bill me.

Okay, maybe I was hasty.

Maybe today can be Talk Like a Malaysian Pirate Who Has Been Drinking Cheap Thai Whisky All Day and is Chasing You Around the Desk of Your Cruise Ship With A Rusty Machete Day.
