Continuing on, and given the “Tom/Twin Theme” pattern cluster of my previous post, what cropped up in my head is “Tom Thumb”, given that I just learned that a good friend of mind just cut off the tip of his thumb... an event that I suspected on learning was influenced by his inner twin as per the inner twin Starr Family Production. On the Tom Thumb wiki page we arrive at the following films where he was portrayed:
- George Brasno portrayed General Tom Thumb in the 1934 film The Mighty Barnum.
- Jimmy Clitheroe portrayed General Tom Thumb in the 1967 film Jules Verne's Rocket to the Moon.
- Josh Ryan Evans portrayed General Tom Thumb in the 1999 TV film P.T. Barnum.
The name George and Evans are additions to the recent “Remove the letter “e” Makes a Word” pattern cluster... and so making “gorge” and “vans”. Note from their wiki pages:
- George F. Brasno (December 23, 1911 – August 15, 1982)
- James Robinson Clitheroe (24 December 1921 – 6 June 1973)
- Joshua Ryan Evans (January 10, 1982 – August 5, 2002)
Note the “December 23, 24, 25(x3)/Date Sequence” pattern cluster. I included Christmas Day... which is also the birthday of our Prime Minister and his brother (2 years apart). What makes this that much more meaningful, is an event that occurred yesterday when I was with my 3 year old grandson at the boardwalk in Halifax. We saw a man quite a distance from us who I thought looked like Santa, and I whispered to my grandson, “hey, is that Santa... on summer vacation in shorts”. I was quite sure that “Santa” didn’t hear, and then as the man walked away he turned suddenly, facing us (still at a distance) and said “Merry Christmas”!!
