Well, with looting, rapine, and burning out of the picture, about the only thing left real pirates did is drinking. Ah well, the good old days are gone forever, I guess....

How about seeing who can most the most gold-wrapped chocolate "coins" from a pile dumped into a box by sucking them up against a soda straw? Or getting them out of a box with a small hole in the top by using a pair of chopsticks?

If you have the proper equipment, a fencing match is always good. Don't do it without masks, foils, gloves, and (at least) fairly heavy sweatshirts, though -- and it helps to know what you're doing. A "swordfight" with those foam swimming rods, or with something similar (soft and fairly unwieldy) can be fun as well.

For a jolly good time you can't beat a good old watergun fight, though.
