Television personality Wilford Brimley celebrates his birthday on this date. Known as the gruff-voiced slightly grumpy older man in many television shows and movies, he's also quite beloved as the gruff-voiced slightly grumpy older man in commercials for Quaker Oats and Liberty Medical. He seems very much to be the type who would resist any fuss for his birthday, in fact, he'd probably actually say "I don't want any fuss for my birthday." So we'll resist on the fuss and instead present a vintage Quaker Oats ad. It's the right thing to do, and the right day to do it.
