Lis noticed that, in two years, Talk Like a Pirate day will fall on Rosh Hashana.

When we informed my parents of this, my mother, who typically runs High Holiday Services at her community, got very thoughtful and said, "Remind me of that a month before, because I'm not going to remember, and it ought not pass without recognition."

My father thought a moment, and said, "Arrr! Who by cannon, and who by cutlass. Who by scurvy, and who by walkin' tha plank. . . "

Does this mean that it will usher in Talk Like A Pirate Year?

Now I want to write a pirate parody of Leonard Cohen's "Who By Fire".

Thank your parents for me.

I'm ashamed to say I don't know much about the holiday, but I have to agree with everyone else. Your parents totally rock. :)

I shared Lis' blog post on the subject with the Pirate Guys a couple of days ago, and I'm afraid I may have inspired them. To quote Cap'n Slappy: "Do we know any rabbis?"

To echo the refrain, I love your parents! Of course, this kind of exchange is only one of many reasons why.
