There’s a website I visit from time to time called Famous Birthdays, where you can see who shares your birthday (Ice Cube, Courtney Cox, James Belushi, and Waylon Jennings, among others, for me). You can also do other cutsie things like have your fortune told and send a greeting card.
I was really intrigued by today’s birthday list….for some reason it just seemed like a really unlikely cast of characters:
1905:
Eddie “Rochester” Anderson
Greta Garbo
1920:
Jack Warden
June Foray
1933:
Robert Blake
1939:
Frankie Avalon
1961:
James Gandolfini
1971:
Jada Pinkett Smith
Lance Armstrong
Alert
I really hate to be the one to have to break the news to you…but tomorrow is ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day”. As usual, Wikipedia wants you to know more. I’ll probably post a “Pirate Party” instead of a “Pony Party”, but the thread will be the same.
Please do not “feed the ponies” (no recommends for the essay, please).
So without further ado, the floor is yours…

Hmmm, I need to brush up on my Pirate dialect.
into doing this on our walkies-talkies.
Speaking of work, gotta go.
Last night was fun.
Those introduction diaries often work well to break the ice and build community ties. I already have ‘warm fuzzy’ thoughts for 2 new folks I don’t think I’ve met online before.
That said, I’m guessing Pony Party is the place where we kinda do the hang out thing, and get to know each other a little better.
Given my 99% confidence in this assumption, some random thoughts for the morning…
Air America appears to be getting worse, not better. I really like the Young Turks (Cenk and Sam Seder this morning were very good), but Lionel sucks walnuts. What were they thinking? Does anyone like Lionel????
Also I am very angry with myself this morning for posting that reference to the Pina Colada song last night. It went through my head all friggen night long, including invading my dreams, and I was still singing it this morning. Arghh…
I need a new ear worm – any suggestions?
Cheers.
i’m gearing myself up for a lot of physical labor today. Putting Kola Nut in the coffee, making Damiana/Ginseng/Green Tea combo for later in the day. Now it’s time to stretch and get geared up.
peace
I share my date, 11/24, with:
1978 Katherine Heigl
1925 William F. Buckley, Jr.
1888 Dale Carnegie
1868 Scott Joplin
1853 Bat Masterson
1784 Zachary Taylor
what’s kind of interesting, though, is that the next day is the birthday of Jenna and not Jenna, and John F. Kennedy, Jr., (they were born 21 yrs. apart – a few other notables were also born on that day).
and I think Charlie Chaplin died on my birthday…
I should have saved my post “Les Fruits de Mer” for the pirate party tomorrow, had I’ve known!!!!
I live with a couple o’pirates and local history is filled with many, many rich and wonderful pirate stories. I will do some homework.
