*sigh*

Oh, you dear darling. I have chased the Rickeybird away from the keyboard. He's asleep for the night. I'm OUTING you to your parront.

Allee, paraphrasing the immortal words of Shakesparrot... get this little hen to a nunnery!

CORRECT!

YOU'RE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GaleriaGila]

Oh, lord, I just realized I totally discombobulated the birthday aspect. Rbird was born on Cinco de Mayo. I apologize. I'll go stand in the corner while Allee rescues the thread.

I have PTSD... Parrot Trauma Stress Disorder. Sorry, y'all.

 

[Allee]

Gail, you are understandably shaken by the Rickeybird's recent nose picking event! We all sympathize. Harry, you'll not be so easily pardoned. Your computer privileges are suspended until further notice.

I was born on November 11, 1974. I am an American actor, film producer, environmental protection activist.

In 1998 I organized a foundation dedicated to the long-term health and wellbeing of all Earth’s inhabitants. Through collaborative partnerships, we support innovative projects that protect vulnerable wildlife from extinction, while restoring balance to threatened ecosystems and communities. Some will remember one of my more famous quotes in a film, "I'm the king of the world." Who am I?

Leonardo ???
"D" Caprio??????????

 

[Allee]

You are correct, Rival! Leanardo it is! Your turn!

Born in 1945, definitely an oldie but a goodie, like me. Belonged to several classic bands in the 60's and 70's. My favorite tune of his ----- "Keep On Rockin' in the Free World".

Neil Young?

 

[GaleriaGila]

Rival (aka Kirby) asked me to send his congratulations, Scott!

 

[Scott]

Thanks Gail and Kirby!!

Next: I was the star of a long-running TV drama but also appeared on the big-screen. My best known role as a family patriarch was riddled with crime and blood. The final scene of the series featured the song "Don't Stop Believing." The series ended with an abrupt cut-to-black that infuriated millions. In real life I died an untimely death. Who am I?

Clue: Nobody watched the Sopranos?

 

[Scott]

.... And the Answer is James Gandolfini. His best loved role was the very humanized mob-boss Tony Soprano. "Don't stop believen" by Journey was playing during the final scene. Producer David Chased was cursed and villified by cutting to instant black at the end. Millions of viewers initially believed their TV or input source had failed!

 

[Allee]

I admit, somehow I missed the entire Soprano series, obviously my loss.

Whose turn next?

 

[Scott]

Whose turn next?

Gasp! Must see TV!! Especially the first 3 or 4 and final seasons!!

How about your turn next?!

 

[Allee]

Why thank you, Kind Sir!

So many famous people for November 14.

I was born November 14, 1840. I was the founder of French impressionistic painting, the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. I am remembered for a vast body of work. Today each of my paintings are worth more US dollars than stars in the night sky if you happen to be star gazing with your eyes alone. Who am I?

***Scott, I will add, binge watch The Sopranos to my fun things to do list!

 

[Scott]

Claude Monet?

 

[Allee]

Yes! Your turn!

 

[Scott]

I was born November 15, ninety seven years ago. I was the star of the first TV show where folks could have a legal issue heard by a judge and sentenced in about 15 minutes. While I have long retired, there are many similar shows today.

 

[Allee]

Joseph Wapner, The People's Court? Loved that guy!

 

[Scott]

Yes indeed, Allee!
