So I have been thinking

May 16, 2004 04:07

Yes, it seems impossible, or very unlikely....but I have. Sadly, thinking is just the sort of thing that wakes me up at 3:30AM and keeps me up so I do try to keep it to a minimum. Remember, Six Degrees of Separation and that whole Kevin Bacon thing? I think it was something like every person is only removed from Kevin Bacon by six people. Well ( Read more... )

Here's the Oracle of Bacon at Virginia for the game: http://www.cs.virginia.edu/oracle/

And you've got a Bacon Number of 3 because

The Oracle says: Gene Wilder has a Bacon number of 2.

Gene Wilder was in Funny About Love (1990) with Mary Stuart Masterson
Mary Stuart Masterson was in Digging to China (1998) with Kevin Bacon

If you can figure out a way to make this into a meme....have at it.

A sorority sister of mine screwed Paul Coffey.

Haha. Excellent. Think she could get me an autographed puck or something. ;-)

laurabel May 16 2004, 06:58:35 UTC

Yep. Chances are she could have gotten you many autographed somethings....she was a connoseur of fine hockey players...aka a hockey slut...and slept with many of the Pittsburgh Penguins of that era.

Interesting aside, Paul Coffey apparently had a little of the "freak" him. Like handcuffs and such...at least according to Amy.

Haha. Coffey is probably my favorite defenseman ever.

Sergei and Katia (and even Viktor) lived on your street! How cool is that?

laurabel May 16 2004, 18:52:53 UTC

Pretty cool. :)

Oksana Bayul may have lived down in the cul-de-sac too but I am not sure.

I am so jealous. You met Gene Wilder! I only met one of Bob Dylan's roadies. Well, I did meet and have a nice chat with a fairly famous starlet, but it was at AA, so I can't say her name. Suffice it to say, you'd remember the big movie she was in (I think they call it a breakout or breakthrough part) and then you'd ask, "Whatever happened to her after that movie? I never heard about her again." (Answer: alcoholism.)

Alcholism takes it out of the best of them. I try not to drink most of the time...too many in my family.

desdemonaspace May 17 2004, 02:10:07 UTC

Ah... So you know. We WSL types shouldn't drink much anyway, eh? At least, that's what my surgeon said.

laurabel May 17 2004, 04:09:48 UTC

Oh yeah, we really are the cheapest drunks in town. It doesn't take anything now, though it never really did.

Both grandfathers were/are alcholics. One died a drunk, one has been very active in AA for years. My dad's sister has been in AA for as long as I can remember. My oldest brother and my mother are both alcholics and while my brother admits it and has periods of "dryness" he does not go to AA and my mother just simply does not admit it because it does not affect her daily life....

The sad thing about my mom is that she drinks at home alone. But she is so functional about her drinking the only people who know she has a problem is her family.
