WTF!!
Well, it was more like WT… as in “WHAAT TH…?!” I was too much in shock to go beyond “TH”, butt seriously, the F would have been poetic justice.
It was the name just added to the list on Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2025 site caught me off guard:
Stuart Burrows, 92, Welsh operatic tenor.
If you’re a regular to this blog you’ll likely see it right away— the “Burro’s” in Burrows!! Only because of the recent “Burro Theme” pattern cluster that’s occurred as of late. Simply check out my recent post titles:
- Hee-Haw, Cuff, Tap, Stone and Boot from Home (posted June 22, 2025)
- Two Burrells, Two Burro’s and a Closing Argument (posted June 18, 2025)
- Picasso’s Ass and Buffon’s Buffoon (posted June 17, 2025)
In fact, what makes the name Stuart Burrows fit even snugger, is that both are additions to the “Remove a Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, and so making “start” and “burro’s”. AND it’s also an addition to two other prominent clusters— the “Word in Name” pattern cluster and the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster, that provides us with “bur”, “rows” and “borrows”.
So, the next step is to see if Burrows shares anything in common with other notable persons passing away on the same day, and I find the following:
- Stuart Burrows (7 February 1933 – 29 June 2025) 92, Welsh operatic tenor.
- Ronny Jarabo, (April 7, 1940 – June 29, 2025) 85, Puerto Rican House of Representatives.
- Assaad Feddah (5 September 1938 – 29 June 2025) 86, Syrian director and actor
- Pentti Matikainen (5 October 1950 – 29 June 2025) Finnish hockey coach (national team)
WTF?
That connects with the title of my recent June 22, 2025 post:
- WTF x2 posted June 22, 2025
There you go MacGregor’s, a little advertisement for you.
This is not an easy one to decipher.
There’s also the other cluster with the other two birthdays that generate a “__, September 5, October 5, __/5th Day, Month Sequence” pattern cluster, butt we need another 5th day to point the way, … so a bit of a dead end, … at the moment.
There is another thing to consider in the overall communication scheme of things— the name Burrows is a word. Note the etymology:
burrow(n.)
"rabbit-hole, fox-hole, hole in the ground excavated by an animal as a refuge or habitation," c. 1300, borewe, a collateral form of Old English burgh "stronghold, fortress" (see borough); influenced by bergh "hill" and berwen "to defend, take refuge."
burrow(v.)
c. 1600, "to place in a burrow," from burrow (n.). Figuratively (such as to burrow (one's) head) by 1862. The intransitive sense, "to bore one's way into, penetrate, make a hole in" is from 1610s, originally figurative; the literal sense, in reference to animals, is attested by 1771. Related: Burrowed; borrowing.
borough(n.)Old English burg, burh "a dwelling or dwellings within a fortified enclosure," from Proto-Germanic *burgs "hill fort, fortress" (source also of Old Frisian burich "castle, city," Old Norse borg "wall, castle," Old High German burg, buruc"fortified place, citadel," German Burg "castle," Gothic baurgs "city"), which Watkins derives from from PIE root *bhergh- (2) "high," with derivatives referring to hills, hill forts, and fortified
