#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October25 #BirthdayCohort with #SamanthaBee @iamsambee & @JamesCarville & ... You?) on #GreasyFood Day @DaysOfTheYear | @neiltyson @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass

... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Days of the Year explains this celebration of #Greasy Food 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 |Greasy| (\ #Greased #Greasing #Grease #Greases #Greaser #Degrease #GreaseTheWheels #GreaseTheirPalm #GreasedLighting #GreasePaint #GreaseMonkey (Mechanic) #Greaseball (also a Mechanic, if not an Army-Cook) #Degreased #Degreasing #Degreaser (which I wonder if it might be related to 'DeGrasse' 😋 probably not))” is built on ancient words that mean Thick, Solid, Fat.

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 Scorpio (in the wake of Libra) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Craig Robinson, Anthony Starr (Homelander on THE BOYS?), Mehcad Brooks (The Arrowverse's Jimmy Olsen), coach Bob Knight, Minnie Pearl, Samantha Bee, Johann Strauss II, Anne Tyler, Katy Perry, Pablo Picasso, Adam Goldberg, Ciara (Ciara Princess Harris-Wilson), James Carville ...

but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
You can add
 your- or your friends'- or famous people (whom YOU
recognize)
 in the comments!

My Heart of the Nation calendar says that we (Catholics) are celebrating with the clergy wearing Green Vestments for the day
