#HappyBirthday to the #June5 #BirthdayCohort (with @KennyG & @MarkWahLberg & ... you?) on #NationalSausageRollDay @DaysOfTheYear | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday'---maybe focusing on one of these holidays & or event-anniversaries in each entry)?'
That way I can go back & input new birthdays & events etc. Like today's #Sausage Roll Day.
That holiday's explanation is linked through 'the main word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
A #Sausage Roll is a |British Pastry Filled with Meat.
The word “Sausage” is built on ancient words that mean Salt.
That's confusing---you hear #SausageFactory and think
either 'Gathering of Male Members' or 'the Machine-House
where Disgusting Things are done to Meat-Animals
(making people say "You don't want to learn how the
Sausage is made!").'
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Gemini ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: comedian Jeff Garlin, childrens' author Richard Scarry, Marky Mark Wahlberg, comedian Nick Kroll, economist John Maynard Keynes, Brian McKnight (who sings "Back at One (One, you're like a dream come true; Two, just wanna be with you ...)"), Mexico's revolutionary General Pancho Villa, Kathleen Kennedy (president of Lucasfilm, co-founder of Amblin Entertainment), Kenny G, "Personal Finance Expert" Suze Orman, father-of-holography Dennis Gabor, PBS journalist & former White House Press Secretary Bill Moyers ... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
(and--if you or someone you know about has a birthday today
--please mention them (and how you know them or -know
about them) in the comments, thanks)
