vakkotaurI don't get the popularity of pirates. I really don't. I see folks in alleged pirate garb at faires, which I sort of understand. I really don't think much of the excessive arrr-speak and have absolutely no use for the "talk like a pirate day" thing that recurs yearly like some annoying affliction. So the Pirate Hunters' Union amuses me. And now I ask myself why I didn't think of doing that.

Goodness knows it goes back a while; it's the plot of "Raggle-Taggle Gypsies" (Child #200, with printed text surviving from the early 18th century) and its variants, from "Black Jack Davy" to the 1950 "Gypsy Rover."
