#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November14 #BirthdayCohort with @VanessaBayer & @ChipGaines & ALL #TheFamousPeople) on #Pickle Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains the cucumber-treat 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 “Pickle (like #Pickles #Pickled #Pickling #Piccalilli)” is built on ancient words that mean "to Brine."
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: SNL-alum Vanessa Bayer, Harland Williams, "Punk's first superstar drummer" (according to Rolling Stone) Travis Barker, Prince Charles, Condoleezza Rice, Josh Duhamel, Patrick Warburton, Claude Monet, Laura San Giacomo, Russell Tovey (best known as a werewolf in Being Human), Yanni, Chip Gaines (HDTV-star), Aaron Copeland (maybe the composer's name is spelled 'Copland,' i dunno), Frederick Banting (discoverer of insulin), P.J. O'Rourke ...
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
Tell me about any of today's birthdays who're famous to you (and where we
should've heard of them).
Do I mention any you haven't heard-of? Ask me about them in the comments!
