Espero Hombre, It's time for Birthday Wishes all around Central Illinois


At least three Central Illinois greats celebrated recently, MP Toohill, RA Powers both from Wapella, and EA Hackman from Danville chalked up another one this past week. Powers and Toohill celebrated with a ceremonial toast, some cartwheels, and a wheelbarrow of good cheer for at least three days this week, while Hackman reportedly was plotting a way to get an edge over fellow Danvillain Dick Van Dyke, 83! last month, and currently experiencing a Mary Poppins resurgence.

It's 78 for Eugene Hackman, 47 for Toohill, and 40 for Powers at least per my Pullen-Boos perpetual calendar. Here's a shot Popeye Doyle in French Connection, one of the best shows ever made till John Frankenheimer's French Connection 2 came out.

Don't mean to rain on the parade but I believe MPT is 48. Don't forget GF Ryan who recently celebrated another year.

I believe the Shah is 41, if that is who you were noting as RA Powers.

Happy Birthday, MPT

Feliz Cumpleanos to RTR and TAR-W both celebrating today. Trips to Chuckie Cheese are in the offing.

MPT is always a step ahead of me, and yes he is 48=2*2*2*2*3=2^4*3--interesting factorization, and highly divisible. RAP is 41, which means he is truly in his prime, and so is I believe TAR-W. RTR is 46=23*2, almost prime!

Isn't it about time someone chimed in to chastise JBP for getting Hackman's age wrong?

Hackman is actually 79. Better get that perpetual calendar looked at.
