Any self respecting pirate scallywag needs to have these fine items in their booty!

10.) Treasure Map: Eh, well, now-a-days I just use google maps. Let’s keep going. Hoist the mizzen!

9.) Boots: You can’t pillage a landlubber without fine boots to kick butt while you do it!

8.) a Parrot: Every Seadog knows your best company is your shoulder bird. Or, your iPod.

7.) Goldtooth: Three words– Work. That. Grill.

6.) Compass: No getting lost like a bilge-sucking, liver-colored scurvy dog! No! Make sure to have yer GPS with you!

5.) Knife: How can yee jump from a sail and rip your way down to the deck without yer trusty blade? (They are perfect as well for holdin’ in your teeth during those cut-throat sales at ye old’ mall. )

4.) Rum Flask: Yeah, that covers that one. Moving on!

3.) Peg Leg: You can’t call yourself a Pirate, or ‘One-Legged Pete McStubby Stubberson’ without sporting the latest in pegs. Don’t over do it though! You will only get laughed at if you are stumblin’ around on two pegs.

2.) Pirate Hat: Argh, that sea air be the worst for the hair ‘did! Keep yee covered until you find the son of a biscuit eater who stole yee hair care products!

1.) Eye Patch: If anything cries ‘Pirate,’ tis the eye patch. Further perfected by the invention of sunglasses, this old salty beauty still looks great with scars, missing teeth and stubble. Whether your getting a new anchor tattoo, breaking glass during a bar fight or just lounging back singing a pirate sea shanty, don’t forget your favorite missing eye accessory!

Arrrr!  And while ye’ be at it;  Make sure you check out the official game of the holiday: Pirates of the Burning Sea

Hope you have a jolly Pirate Day!
