Did You Know that #July26 is ALSO a #HappyBirthday to #SandraBullock (all over the @SBullockWeb) & @MickJagger & the WHOLE #BirthdayCohort of #Bagelfest @OKgazette | @411Holidays @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
The OKLAHOMA GAZETTE discusses the #Bagels offered on a past Bagelfest in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Bagels” is built on ancient words that mean "to Bend (like a Ring or Bracelet or similarly Curved object)."
#Bagel #BagelBiscuit
And today's not Bagels' Day (which is nationally January 15), but it's the bread-product's #Fest !!
The 'word' (more accurately, 'suffix') "Fest" is built on ancient words that mean "Feast, Holiday, Festival."
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' ...
Today's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Leo ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Jason Robards (Ben Bradlee in All the President's Men), Jason Statham, Sandra Bullock, Kevin Spacey, Helen Mirren, Mick Jagger, Stanley Kubrick, Carl Jung, George Bernard Shaw, Joe Jackson (manager- & father of Michael, Janet, La Toya, etc.), Jeremy Piven (Ari Gold on ENTOURAGE), Aldous Huxley, Nana Visitor (whom I barely recognized as Kira 'Nerys' (which I always thought was spelled 'Norice') from STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE ... possibly??? definitely), Vivian Vance (Lucy & Ricky's neighbor Ethel), figure-skater Dorothy Hamill, funk-queen Betty Davis... and lots more I don't recognize (maybe you do recognize some ... you can find the date at the birthday-cohort link)
