From the choices given - Pirates are obviously the coolest.

But you missed out the coolest of them all... Highwaymen!



All the cool of pirates, but without the rickets and scurvy...

...although they do smell of horse-wee.

Top Ten Pickup lines for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day

10. Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly?
9. Have ya ever met a man with a real yardarm?
8. Come on up and see me urchins.
7. Yes, that is a hornpipe in my pocket and I am happy to see you.
6. I'd love to drop anchor in your lagoon.
5. Pardon me, but would ya mind if fired me cannon through your porthole?
4. How'd you like to scrape the barnacles off of me rudder?
3. Ya know, darlin’, I’m 97 percent chum free.
2. Well blow me down?

And the number one pickup line for use on International Talk Like a Pirate Day is…

1. Prepare to be boarded.

Bonus pickup lines (when the ones above don't work, as they often won't)

They don’t call me Long John because my head is so big.

You’re drinking a Salty Dog? How’d you like to try the real thing?

Wanna shiver me timbers?

I’ve sailed the seven seas, and you’re the sleekest schooner I’ve ever sighted.

That’s the finest pirate booty I’ve ever laid eyes on.

Let's get together and haul some keel.

That’s some treasure chest you’ve got there.

8. Come show me how ye bury yer treasure, lad!
7. So, tell me, why do they call ye, "Cap'n Feathersword?"
6. That's quite a cutlass ye got thar, what ye need is a good scabbard!
5. Aye, I guarantee ye, I've had a twenty percent decrease in me "lice ratio!"
4. I've crushed seventeen men's skulls between me thighs!
3. C'mon, lad, shiver me timbers!
2. RAMMING SPEED!

Ninjas are just so totally sweet that sometimes I think I'm gonna crap my pants.

But even ninjas are nowhere near as cool as hippos.

Ninjas win every time.

They have the best diet.

I voted Ninja just because I've been playing Disgaea a lot, and the main character I use is an axe wielding ninja.

BTW, Disgaea is strategy role-playing game on the PS2.

My handle, aside from being a type of Japanese food, is also the title of a popular ninja manga, so ninja is a given for me.

Pirates are much cooler than samurai or ninja, because samurai and ninja never turn into vengeful undead.

Also, pirate ladies are terminally hot:

But why limit ourselves? Couldn't we have undead ninja-pirates? Or undead samurai-pirates?
