#HappyBirthday to You (#September24 #BirthdayCohort of #KevinSorbo @KSorbs & @StephMcMahon & ... ) on #CherriesJubilee Day @Holidayinsights | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
X explains Y 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)
#Cherries Jubilee is a blended confection of #cherry-pie filling, cognac (or brandy) and vanilla ice cream.
The word “Cherries (\ #CherryPick & the popular cordial #CherryBounce ... #CherryCoke? #Cherry7Up?)” is built on ancient words that also refer to the |Pulpy |Drupe of the well-known #CherryTree (they mention an ancient French predecessor, and that of course reminds me of #chéri (or #chérie) meaning |Darling, |Dear ... the slang for |Virginity (usually the |Maidenhood of a Young Girl) could come from the long-time use of cherries as a symbol of the |Fleeting quality of life's Pleasures).
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 Libra (in the wake of Virgo) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Kevin Sorbo (seeing him perform Hercules, I can forgive him his roles in "Christian" films), Lou Dobbs, ("Mean") Joe Greene, SNL-alum Phil Hartmann, F. Scott Fitzgerald, WWE-exec. Stephanie McMahon, Linda McCartney, Jim Henson, Chief Justice John Marshall, Malinda Williams ... 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)
