For a bit of mundane fun, head over to famousbirthdays.com and check which celebrity matches your birthday. Me, I have Chuck Berry right in front of me, Divine right alongside of me, and Charles Ives right behind me. As one certain newsgroup-member aptly put it: Nicely bookended between Berry and Ives, two great American
composers…. (OK, one composer, one guy who likes to videotape
women in public restrooms, but who’s counting?)

Not much of a list out there for me, tho Jackie Robinson is one and Norman Mailer another (two people I can at least respect). I was hoping for a cool musical connection, and was thrilled to see Jean Simmons’ name (until I realized it wasn’t the bassist from Kiss).
Then I saw Johnny (Rotten) Lydon’s name and felt better (until I realized he wasn’t really a musician either).
Finally I found Franz Schubert. Yes! A name I knew!
I LOVE Schubert – especially orange, the stiff kind you get in a Push-Up.
SOFA
…in a Push-Up bra..?!?
What an interesting group on my B day: Isaac Hanson, (one of the Hansons? Yech!)Laura Wilkinson, RuPaul, Danny DeVito, Lorne Michaels(no wonder I loved SNL), Tom Seaver Lauren Hutton Martin Scorsese Gordon Lightfoot Rock Hudson Lee Strasberg. I don’t know what they would have in common with me.
The Dr. sez: “…in a Push-Up bra..?!?”
No, one of those orange cylindrical things that come out of a tube. You know, they’re lots of fun on a hot day?
…now, beat me with a mac keyboard and call me a badger, but i still don’t know what on earth is an orange, cilindrical Schubert that comes out of a tube to have fun in a hot day! although i have to admit it comes to my mind as a very suggestive series of images :-)
my ignoramous european guess: it’s one of those icy popcicles… so lay that suggestive imagery to rest now, heheh…
I am sooo glad, Barry, that you took the matter in hand and firmly laid it to rest. Speaking as newcomer, I don’t know if I could take much more!
That was me that wrote about taking the matter in hand. Somehow this kooky contraption erased my name!
A POPSICLE!!!?! so lay that suggestive imagery to rest now, heheh…
Popsicles are one of my more recurrent suggestive imageries!! now i can focus less “abstractly” :-) Btw: Welcome SuzyC! thanx for the explanations you both! Now, back to imageries…cilindric tubes…taking the matter in hand…hot day…(murmur murmur…. :-)
Ooooh – a Push Up is not a popsicle, no no no. You see it is very important that you know the etiquette to eating a Push Up. You grasp it very firmly by the base and slowly and steadily push upwards, twisting a bit and running your hand up and down the outside of the tube to dislodge the ice around the inside of the tube and warm it up. You do this until it is long enough to stick out of the tube. Then you devour it. Either quickly and all at once or slowly and deliberately, savoring every mouthful. I am sure you can think of many delightful variations.
