Hunting Theme (Part 7): Bum, Anus, Butt, Ass Theme

 Note from my previous post: 

• 1913 – Tom McCall, American journalist and politician, 30th Governor of Oregon (d. 1983)

• Thomas Lawson McCall (March 22, 1913 – January 8 1983)

This is strategic… the communication in the name.  It’s time to investigate Wikipedia’s list of notable persons who passed away today for anything that stands out… anything that will provide more.  So far there are 8 on the list with two of them having surnames that are additions to “Remove a Letter from a Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, hence making “head” (from Heads) and “start” (from Stuart)… and so a cryptic communication — “Head Start”!!  Also, these two listed one after the other have something unusual in common; 

• Ian Heads, 81, Australian rugby league historian, journalist and author.^[3]
• Ambrogio Pelagalli, 84, Italian footballer (Milan, Atalanta, Roma).^[4]

Now note from their wiki pages: 

• Ian John Heads (15 February 1943 – 25 March 2024)
• Ambrogio Pelagalli (15 February 1940 – 25 March 2024)

Their birth and death info generates a “Individuals Born on the same day and then Died on the same day” pattern cluster.  We also have a “February 15(x2)” pattern cluster.  This is a prompt to visit the the February 15 wiki page where we use the formula to arrive at: 

• 1999 – Henry Way Kendall, American physicist and mountaineer, Nobel Prize laureate (b. 1926)
• 2000 – Angus MacLean, Canadian commander and politician, 25th Premier of Prince Edward Island (b. 1914)

Of course angus MacLean stands out!!  First of all where he served as Premier— PEI, is next door to where I live in Nova Scotia.  Secondly his first name, Angus, is an addition to the “Remove a Letter from a name makes a word” pattern cluster…, and so making “anus”, we definitely have an addition to the “Bum, Anus Theme” pattern cluster,  His surname as well fits… as McCall gives us call, Maclean gives us lean.  So lets investigate him: 

John Angus MacLean   (May 15, 1914 – February 15, 2000)

We have a “January 15(x2), February 15, March 15, __, May 15/ 15th Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster.  Both my expartner (of 27 years) and my son, are born on January 15.  And we already have March 15 covered in this series of posts re: 

Hans Blum, 95, German singer-songwriter ("Primaballerina").

Hans Blum (23 May 1928 – 15 March 2024)

So to bridge the April 15 gap: 

• 1999 – Harvey Postlethwaite(4 March 1944 – 15 April 1999) , English engineer
• 2000 – Edward Gorey (February 22, 1925 – April 15, 2000) American poet illustrator 

The name Edward Gorey communicates “eddy ward gory)!! And note the following from this Blogs Header: 

The Producer, Director and Writer of Warner Brothers animation, "My Little Duckaroo", died on February 22nd (Jones in 2002; Selzer In 1970, Maltese in 1981). The anniversary of their death falls on 2/22/22. None of these are coincidence, they are strategic, a cryptic means of communicating, part of which involves a declaration of war.

Note the two listed immediately before and after Harvey and Edward:

• 2001 – Joey Ramone  Jeffrey Ross Hyman (May 19, 1951 – April 15, 2001) American singer-songwriter
• 1998 – Pol Pot (19 May 1925 – 15 April 1998) 29th Prime Minister of Cambodia 

Another addition to the Individuals Born on the same day and then Died on the same day” pattern cluster. 

 Some notables from MacLean’s wiki page who stands out: 

• William Bennett Campbell (August 27, 1943 – September 11, 2008)  
• Gilbert Ralph Clements OPEI (11 September 1928 – 27 November 2012)
• Daniel Joseph MacDonald (23 July 1918 – 30 September 1980) 
• Robert Lloyd George MacPhail (March 22, 1920 – July 2, 1995) 

August 27 and July 23 also stand out as personally meaningful… my mom died on July 23.  

I also noticed that April 15th was the day the Titanic sank, note the one name from the list that stands out: 

• Archibald Butt, American general and journalist (b. 1865)

So we now have an expanded  “Bum, Anus, Butt Theme” pattern cluster.  Note the following info from notables mentioned on Butt’s wiki page: 

• William Robertson Boggs (March 18, 1829 – September 11, 1911) 
• Edwin Gardner Weed (July 23, 1846 – January 18, 1924) 
• Matthew Whitaker Ransom (October 8, 1826 – October 8 1904)
• Henry Clark Corbin (September 15, 1842 – September 8, 1909)
• Tomás Estrada Palma (c. July 6, 1835 – November 4, 1908) 
•  Robert Stephenson Smyth Baden-Powell ( 22 February 1857 – 8 January 1941)
• William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 – March 8, 1930) 
• Francis Davis Millet (November 3, 1848^[1] – April 15, 1912)
• Pope Pius X ( 2 June 1835 – 20 August 1914)
• John Walter Lord Jr. (October 8, 1917 – May 19, 2002)
• John Breckinridge Castleman (June 30, 1841 – May 23, 1918) 

So the cryptic communication when removing a letter: bogs, wed, lark, water, palm (hmmm, palm on butt… spank).  

Of course the inner twin world wants us to get with their program…, so the surname “Bass” makes “ass” when removing the letter “B”.  From the Bass surname wiki page one stands out: 

• Sam Bass (outlaw) (1851–1878), American train robber

His name makes “am ass”, note from his wiki page: 

Sam Bass (July 21, 1851 ‒ July 21, 1878)  

He died on his birthday!!
