Note the following in regards to a notable person recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site;
Tarsy Carballas (2 June 1934 – 17 May 2026), soil scientist
It’s her name “Tarsy” that caught my eye— a twin heads upp given its similarity to the title of my Mothers Day (May 10, 2026, post), D’Arsy. So what are the chances of THAT— an addition to the “Rhymes” and “Timely” pattern clusters. Also timely: when the name D’Arcy had cropped up seemingly out of the blue… butt it’s a name that has recent/personal significance, my first thought was on why the focus on “D” in the surname when the first name “Darcy” that’s related doesn’t?! Is there something here that we are expected to consider?! What immediately came to mind then, is by replacing the “D” with other consonant's, the H’Arcy reminds me of a slang for “horsey”… or a cryptic combination: “horsey arse”. Interesting enough, the original word for “ass” is “arse”:
The origin ("Arse"): It traces back to Old English (ærs or ars) and the Proto-Germanic root (arsoz), which originally referred to the buttocks or hind parts. The American shift ("Ass"): In the 18th and 19th centuries, the "r" sound was naturally dropped in some American dialects, turning "arse" into "ass" (much like "burst" shifting to "bust" or "curse" to "cuss").
With a bit of research I discover that the name Tarcy is a variant of “Tardif”, which also happens to be a word:
- Tardif is primarily a French adjective that translates to "late", "delayed,” or “tardy”
- As a surname. It was initially a nickname for a slow-moving or habitually unpunctual person
Hmm, a broken foot would definitely give reason for being slow-moving… tardy, and so tying in with the image I put up with the Darcy (Part 1) post on Mothers Day.
This next notable person also recently added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site stands out:
Gary Leon Cutsinger (Feb 4, 1940 – May 16, 2026)football player (Houston Oilers).
His surname contains a cryptic “cut singer”… , and indeed on listed on the same day along with Cutsinger, is a famous singer:
Dennis Locorriere (June 13, 1949 – May 16, 2026) singer and guitarist (Dr. Hook)
I was born on his Birthday!! On perusing his wiki page, one name in particular caught my eye, given that his surname Silverstein has “silver” in it that’s an addition to the recent “Money Theme” pattern cluster, note from his wiki page:
Sheldon “Shel” Silverstein (September 25, 1930 – May 10, 1999)
He died on Mother’s Day!! And so another addition to the “Women Theme” pattern cluster and… the “Mother’s Day” pattern cluster. Note as well that by applying the “Word in Name” pattern cluster to the name Sheldon, we then get a cryptic phrase “she held on”, … that combined with his last name then makes “she held on silver stein/mug/rock” (the German word “stein” describes a sturdy beer mug, butt originates as “rock/stone”).
There are other leads we can follow, for instance there’s Locorriere’s band name, Dr. Hook (taken in part from Captain Hook in Peter Pan). On perusing the Captain Hook wiki page— to the column on right that provides a list of voice actors/actors, one in particular jives— is an addition to the recent “Money Theme” pattern cluster given the “rich” in his surname, Richardson. So venturing to his wiki page, we arrive at:
Kevin Michael Richardson (born October 25, 1964)
Anyone who visits this blog regularly enough, knows the cryptic/personal significance behind the date of October 25!! If not, just key the date in this blogs search box and you’ll then see for yourself.
As for the surname Locorriere, it is an addition to the recent “First and Last 2 Letters in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and so providing us with the word “lore”, note the definition:
