(...) Did Ben Stein have scenes (on-screen) in common with Kevin Bacon? I believe that's a rule of the original game. But you can kindly ignore the rule I broke about no TV shows, just movies! :-, Wondering am I, degrees of separation from Yoda are (...) (25 years ago, 7-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

One of my ex co-workers is aces at this game, she could (properly staged and prepped) consistently separate rubes from their beer money and thus keep us liquid quite easily. And the speed at which she could fire off connections was a sight to be (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

(...) Nice back formation, did you see that one somewhere or make it up on the spot to address my tendency to bloviate? (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Lee Iacocca's Kevin Bacon number
 
(...) I missed out on this while it was hot: does anyone know if Willie Nelson or Randy Travis has been in a scene with Kevin Bacon? I'm trying to ascertain my degrees here. -Tom McD. when replying, the Treaty of Spamcake was actually signed in 971 (...) (25 years ago, 15-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

People are confusing the "six degrees of separation" thing (1) with the back to Bacon thing. The rules are different (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jul-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Lee Iacocca's Kevin Bacon number
