Yep. Today is my birthday. Which means I actually wrote this post a few days ago in anticipation of how busy I’d be taking calls and accepting telegrams and flowers all day long on June 11. (Telegrams?!!? How the hell old AM I?)

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at all the celebs and famous names who share my big day with me. As with every other day of the year, there are a ton of people born that day. However, there are very few that I’ve actually heard of. And thus, a much shorter version of my original list was born entitled …

… plus (bonus!) one word I associate with each of them.

1. Adrienne Barbeau – Maude
2. Christina Crawford – hangers
3. Jacques Cousteau – fish
4. Peter Dinklage – Elf
5. Hugh Laurie – House
6. Vince Lombardi – trophy
7. Shia LeBeouf – punk
8. Joe Montana – football
9. Richard Strauss – music
10. Gene Wilder – Frankenstein

Geez. Not a big day for famous baby birthing. Then again, Labor Day has never really been much of a romantic holiday. (To those of you scratching your heads, do the math.)

June is Blog Post by Numbers Month. Wanna play with Mel and me? Just write a “listy-type” post with a number in the title (ex.

Then link back to us and tweet us about it so we can include you on June 30th in our final list: (Number-Yet-To-Be-Determined) Great Bloggers Who Played the Blog Post by Numbers Game!
