#HappyBirthday to the #March9 #BirthdayCohort (with #OscarIsaac (@oscarisaacnet knows) & #SteveWilkos @SteveWilkosTV & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalCrabmeatDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains a bit about #Crabs (the source of the meat we celebrate today) in a report accessed 'the bold hyperlink(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see '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 into their Foundation)
The word “Crabs” is built on ancient words that mean "to |Scratch, Carve, |Claw" (for the |Decapod with the Eyes on Short Stalks & with the |Pincers #CrabNebula #CrabStick or (maybe) the |Louse |Infesting the |Pubic Region #CrabLouse, Falling due to a Bad Stroke in |Rowing is called #CatchingACrab) or
'the Crab's Combative |Disposition' (for the Quarrelsome Grouch #Crabbed #Crabbedly #Crabbedness #Crabby ) or Wild Apple (for the #CrabTree #CrabApple #Crabgrass).
It 'thrills me' a little 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' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Pisces ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Trump-cheerleader Kimberly Gilfoyle, chess-champion Bobby Fischer, Oscar Isaac, cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, Amerigo Vespucci, Brian Bosworth ("The Boz"), Emmanuel Lewis, Raul Julia, Steve Wilkos, composer Samuel Barber,
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's in Violet (whether-or-not they celebrate the Optional Memorial for Saint Frances of Rome)
