A week or so, I saw a book series at Sam's Club: Vampirates. I'd never seen it before. Seems like such an obvious combination, with the popularity of vampires and of pirates. Why didn't I think of that? The books are in the lucrative YA/"Young Adult" sector. According to Amazon, the reviews are actually pretty good.
By the way, today is "Talk like a Pirate Day". Facebook has even gotten into the act. Scroll to the bottom of the facebook page, and find where it says English. Click on this, and then in the larger language screen that follows, click the drop down arrow by English to find pirate English. Alas, they only offer pirate English at this moment. No pirate Latvian or pirate Klingon.
An example of the alteration is seen below. This is one of the places where it asks if you want to add someone as your friend.

I thought Vampirates was a great idea too! I haven't read any of them, though.
I actually used Pirate English as my FB setting for two or three months. Kept things interesting :-)
Wow. That's almost better than vampires fighting werewolves...
Arrrrghh I totally forgot about Talk Like Pirates Day!!!!
