I too created a “Kevin Bacon” Google Alert so he and I can watch the same news, maybe even at the same time! ::shivers:: 😃 Plus, perhaps he’s commenting elsewhere on all these doofusses who are shouting t him every day from the SDMB. If so, I may see it. ---

I have _always_ been of the opinion that our site deserves some broadcast “air-time”, maybe our _Kevin Bacon_ thread will make this happen! Would y’all be okay with that? Thanks Q ---

Ooh, and I already see from my first alert that [Kevin was financially wiped out by Bernie Madoff](http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/12/kevin-bacon-madoff-scandal-kyra-sedgwick-maui-photos), but is recovering. Sorry to hear that, Kevin. ---

**Kevin Bacon** was just one of many that sonofabitch ruined with his fucking Ponzi scheme. It’s good that he’ll spend the rest of his sorry-ass life in prison! I hate it that his son killed himself, but that’s another thing that bastard will have to live with. Good on you, **Kevin** that you’re recovering from this debacle. It’s my opinion you’re one of the friendliest actors in the business, and I enjoyed your appearance on the PBS program “Wait, Wait! Don’t Tell Me!” Quasimodem ---

My two favorite Bacon Brothers songs are from the children’s album Philadelphia Chickens by Sandra Boynton. They sang [Philadelphia Chickens](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiEFXHpixHs) and [Snoozers](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-4Q2FBKUjI). Hi Kevin Bacon! ---

It’s not like there aren’t other people in this thread claiming to be me – i.e., **Kevin Bacon.** And besides, **Kevin Bacon** is the type O blood type of entertainers – he fits _everything._ So instead of getting a knot in your panties, maybe you should get some **Kevin Bacon** in them. ---

Kevin Bacon is the most bacony Kevin that I’ve ever seen in a movie. He’s “cured” me from ever craving another Kevin. ---

Haven’t read the whole thread, but has anyone said, “Hi Kevin! Fuck you and your whore of a wife, but don’t die before the first, because you’re on my 2012 death pool list! Do you even know _how_ to ride a fucking bike, you fucking poseur?” Because if they did, it might be kind of funny. ---
