#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #November16 #BirthdayCohort with #MaggieGyllenhaal @mgyllenhaal & #LisaBonet @lisambonet & ALL #TheFamousPeople) on #FastFood Day | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains Fast Food (not 'the birth of the holiday,' but 'a lot of things you probably didn't know about Fast Food's beginnings') in a report linked through 'those words' below; but first I want to understand those words 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)
Fast Food is "#Quintessential American |Cuisine," |Dining Served with Great Efficiency.
The word “Quintessential (& #Quintessence #Quintessentially #Quintessentialize)” is built on ancient words that mean Fifth |Essence or -Being (after Earth, Fire, 'Air' (which I almost called 'Wind' ... GOOOOO PLANET!😋) & Water, it's the Element that carries something's |Pure |Essence/Being---the |Extra |Quantity that turns the Coal into the Diamond, or -that turns the Swamp-Water into the Drinking-Water).
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 Lennix (various supporting-roles), figure-skater Oksana Baiul, SNL-star Pete Davidson, Lisa Bonet, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emperor Tiberius, Burgess Meredith ...
... 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!
