I'm Three Degrees ? from Kevin Bacon!

[pluckyduck]

Husband: So my blah blah friend you know has his blah blah in school in NYC and turns out the son goes to school with Gandolfini's son and Kyra Sedgwick's son.

Me: What????

Husband: (repeats)

Me: Don't you know what this means???

Husband:

Me: (explaining slowly and loudly as if to the stupid) Kyra Sedgwick is married to Kevin Bacon. This is Kevin Bacon's son.

Me > the husband's friend whom I have met > friend's son > Bacon's son > Kevin Bacon



Does this make me three or four degrees????? AND, this means ya'll are now within six degrees!

The movie Sleepers was shot in the town where I grew up. A lot of the boys that went to school with me were extras in the movie. Does that make me 2 degrees?

I'm so excited I'm having trouble counting the degrees. I think that's three degrees which then makes me four or is it five degrees in my example.

1 person knows kevin = 1 degree
1 person knows someone who knows kevin = 2 degree
1 person knows someone who knows someone who knows kevin = 3 degrees
1 person knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who knows kevin = 4 degrees

... I think.

Well, say hey, since I live in Arkansas, I know hundreds of people who know the Clintons....I guess I'm two degrees from the Clintons.

Never met anyone who knew Billie Bob or Mary Steenburgen or the Bloodworth Thomasons, through.

On the other hand, my son just told me his former college roommate teaches Barack Obama's daughter in a prestigious private school in Chicago.

The game is Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, Frazz. Nobody plays Six Degrees of Bill Clinton.

So yeah, Andrea, I agree with Margaret's assessment. You are Four Degrees, which makes all of us Fives.

Woo Hoo.
