Happy Birthday Mickey Mantle!



The Mick. Elvis in pinstripes.

I wish happy birthday to Robert Capa.

His face is not recognizable, but his images are.





Imagine being in the middle of that unholy hell that was Omaha Beach armed with only a camera.

 

[CrackerJax]

"Okay Private Organic, I want to get a whole new perspective of the beach landing. I'm going to shoot the pictures with your back taking up most of the horizon. "

Yes, he took amazing footage and the risk of the war photographer is without parallel. When you have that camera up to ur eye.... ur basically blind peripherally speaking. High risk zones, no gun, no peripheral vision. Still gets tremendous pics though .. awesome.

Okay, I am throwing a big HB out to a sorely missed talent who had every bit the voice of Elvis. Happy Birthday J.P. Richardson ... aka The BIG BOPPER!
That plane crash wiped out an entire library of musical genius' Bopper, Holly, Valens... what a blow to R&R.

But enjoy this great song which you probably never heard of (JO excepted I think).

[Johnnyorganic]

I have heard the song previously, but I can't say for sure that I knew it was him. Buddy Holly justifiably tends to overshadow the other two musicians lost that tragic day, but Richardson was on track to make a huge impact on the industry.

My happy birthday goes out to a man who made a great contribution to home growers everywhere: Antony van Leeuwenhoek. He developed the microscope and is credited with over 400 different designs of the instrument.

So when you grab your hand held Radio Shack model to examine trichomes, you can thank Mr. Van Leeuwenhoek.

I have seen that very painting up close...... Adam has one hell of a set of Museums. My second favorite activity to do there.

 

[CrackerJax]

Well Happy LAME Birthday Slik!!!

My HB goes out to Pablo Picasso, an amazing talent of eye candy (at least for me)

 

[cph]

I think today it's worth saying HB to Jonas Salk. Who millions of people owe their lives too. Thanks for the polio vaccine!!!

 

[CrackerJax]

My Mom puts salk on all her food....

Big HB out to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad !!! Just goes to prove you don't have to be smart to fool the UN.

Happy birthday to Grantland Rice!

He elevated sports writing to a level it had not see previously. Who else would include poetry in an article about a football game?

An excerpt from his most famous poem "Alumnus Football":

For when the One Great Scorer comes
To write against your name,

He marks - not that you won or lost
But how you played the Game.

 

[CrackerJax]

Nice!! I'll go with Stephen Crane who wrote "Red Badge of Courage". One of the first books that really gripped me.
