IT'S A DATE, WITH MYSELF!

Hang on check this out I just VOLUNTEERED to do a taggy thing........yes VOLUNTEERED!

It may pay you to remember that at the end of this piece when I don't tag you this time and I call for VOLUNTEERS!
Well I was over at Castle of Nannbugg where Lee Ann lives and she just did this date thing where you have to find your birthday on Wikipedia and list three events, birthdays and a holiday that happen on that day. Because she's morbid she added three deaths, so am going to do that as well!
Ok then here we go
3 events :
1605 - First publication of Don Quixote.
1819 - Simón Bolívar proclaims the Republic of Colombia.
Now 3 births :



1927 – Eartha Kitt American actress and singer
1942 - Muhammad Ali, American boxer
1943 - Chris Montez, American singer
3 Deaths :
1369 - King Peter I of Cyprus (murdered) (b. 1328)
1861 - Lola Montez, Irish-born adventurer (b. 1821)
1977 - Gary Gilmore, American murderer (b. 1940)
January 17th is the feast day of St. Anthony and in Ancient Latvia - Zirgu Diena observed !!
So I'm not tagging anyone.....but if you'd like to volunteer just remember I did!! Next time I'm tagging those that don't volunteer this time ok?!

Thanks for volunteering. Oh and it was not my idea to add the deaths, Green (my tagger) did it first!!!!

Muhammad Ali....Damn I miss the old Ali boxing days. those were the best. Have you seen his life story? It was on one of the cable channels.

SIMON said...

Hi BG - your face on my site, good for the imagination I must say!!
It's all your fault!!

I had to get my friend Google to remind me of that one Andy!!

Popeye and Muhammad Ali, both great in their own way hey??!
Yeah it was on over here as well, some life hey?

Autumn Storm said...

The Grunt said...

The Gary Gilmore thing still isn't as spooky as if it were a shared birthday with Gary Glitter. "Wanna be in my gang?"

Hey, I'm going to add you to my sidebar soon, mate.

SIMON said...

Hey thanks for dropping by! You're already on mine!!

I think Gary Gilmore is still mighty scary, Gary Glitter is just a sad paedophile! And all his records make me feel old! That's a crime in itself!!

JLee said...

SIMON said...

Oh jlee I can float but my sting is ever so sweet and gentle!!
