You can tell it’s getting close to the 18th annual Goodboys Invitational weekend when I’m posting clever pick-up lines for fellow Goodboy (and my playing partner this year) Ron “Cubby” Myerow to use when we’re hanging out at Harry’s Blues Bar in Hyannis on Saturday night.

(A word to the attractive ladies out there either living on the Cape, or planning to visit Hyannis on Saturday the 19th – this hunk of a handsome he-dude is for you. Sure he’s shy, but don’t let that stop you from makng your presence known. Just walk in and start yelling, “Oh Goodboys! Oh Goodboys! – I’m sure someone will direct you to Cubby…)

Given this year’s “pirate” theme for our Goodboys shenanigans, here are some great pirate-themed pick-up lines guaranteed to tickle the fancy of the most cold-hearted wench out there, courtesy of TalkLikeAPirate.com:

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?

1. Prepare to be boarded. (my favorite, BTW)

More guaranteed, can’t miss pick-up lines for Cubby coming tomorrow!
