#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #October30 #BirthdayCohort with @IvankaTrump & #TheEdge @EdgeRatedR & ... You?) on #Mischief Night | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates #TheFamousPeople @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains Mischief Night (a.k.a. #DevilsNight #CabbageNight #DevilsEve #GooseyNight #GateNight) 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 “Mischief (\ #Mischievous #MakeMischief #FullOfMischief #MischiefNight)” is built on ancient words that mean "to come to a |Head Badly" (Mis-, |Chief ... the opposite of |Achieve, though #Mischieve has for-some-reason fallen out of the lexicon).
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 ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Harry Hamlin, Matthew Morrison, Otis Williams, Andrea Mitchell, Larry Wilmore, President John Adams, WWE's The Edge, Henry Winkler, Ivanka Trump, Kevin Pollak, poet Ezra Pound ...
but those are just the ones that I agree are famous;
