From a number of people, most recently [livejournal.com profile] shirei_shibolim and [livejournal.com profile] debka_notion:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want, either good or bad. I promise not to come after you with a spatula, either way.

I may be a better cook than I used to be, but I still lack [livejournal.com profile] shirei_shibolim's skill with a spatula. I promise not to come after you with a pencil of grading doom, either.

Twice, of course! I apologize. I didn't do the translation, by the way, I found it on the web.

Should any other place take on the same geeky custom, I'd do the translation myself next time.

You've acquired Old Icelandic since then?

Sadly, no. I could do Old English!

I wonder if there's a Bible out there in Law French. Simchat Torah is just screaming for a rendition of Moses's blessings in the language that produced sentences like "Il jete la brickbat through la fenetre." And ideally, with a British accent.

Don't forget the part about how the brickbat "naroly mist."

I wish.

I think naroly mist was the weather we had here yesterday.

I'm continuing to vaguely regret not having been involved in Conservative Egal.

Well, said minyan has since dumped that geeky custom, to my disappointment, in the interest of getting out of shul before time for ma'ariv. Oh well... S

The end of that was supposed to be "somewhere, someday".
