6/21/2008 - Kevin Bacon game

I'm a bit of a show off, well sometimes, and since someone asked me to go online to investigate the links between certain actors using the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, otherwise known as the Kevin Bacon Game, I thought hey, let's post an entry about what links me with certain famous people. The links used in the Kevin Bacon game, so are some of mine, are often very thin, but I promise you, that the final link really knows the famous person.

1 Paul Getty (British-American philantropist, died in 2003, known for the Getty Center among other things) - 3 degrees:
My mom knows a Bulgarian-born chemist, who specialized in restoring paintings. In that capacity he was often invited to Paul Getty's home. Anecdote: Paul Getty (allegedly or I'll get sued) had coin phones in every room of his house to 'save money'. You could call from his home all you wanted, but you had to pay him for it.

2 John Lennon (the Beatle who was so brutally murdered in 1980) - 2 degrees / the other Beatles - 3 degrees:
I have (or had, she passed away years ago) a Liverpool-born great-aunt who lived on his street, and knew him, and didn't approve of his ways. I've heard claims that if I were to go way past the six degrees, that the game sees as a maximum, that we are related through several marriages.

3 George Walker Bush AND George Herbert Walker Bush (not something I say with too much pride) - 2 degrees:
On a cruise ship I talked to a fellow several times, who knows the two personally. He played a big role in both campaigns for the presidency of Bush the Elder, and had a picture of Young George with his baby grandson, and said he was very proud having it. Of course leaders posing with children is a proud tradition... I mean, Stalin, Hitl...

4 Gen. Montgomery, Gen. Eisenhower, Robert McNamara - 2 degrees:
On the same cruise ship there was this former colonel I chatted with for hours. In World War II he enjoyed the company of several big-shot allied officers, first in Italy, later in Normandy. He was a career soldier, so later on he met several more important people. Among them Robert McNamara, who according to him was a complete idiot who single-handedly killed many thousands and thousands of young Americans by sending them to Vietnam.

So, anyone else who can stay within six degrees, playing this game? Pinoy and Malay celebrities do count.

You are Sandusky, OH

Loser!
You are boring, have no sense of adventure, no sense of humor, you have no friends, in fact you're no good to this world. You are definitely Sandusky, OH!

Famous Sandusky, Ohio, residents: probably a few hockey players, but no one worth a second glance
