Does anybody else think Kevin Bacon will spend the rest of his actorly days appearing in ensemble movies with as many different people as possible to become the true center of the movie universe (the current best center is Dennis Hopper)? Because that would be awesome if he did. ---

I was surprised to see him come out on stage on (IIRC) Colbert, when Colbert asked his writers to come out for recognition. ---

Why _not_ make this ā€œThe Longest Ever KB Appreciation Threadā€? Make it newsworthy and see if we canā€™t get the olā€™ boy in here? Anyone else game? Q ---

Shoot yeah Quasiā€¦ Iā€™ll do my part to make this the longest Kevin Bacon thread. I love Kevin Bacon and it woould be very cool to see Kevin Bacon join us here at the SDMB. Kevin Bacon would fit right in here I think. Does it count for anything to see how many times we can say Kevin Bacon in a single post? Kevin Bacon. ---

No, but every time you say ā€œKevin Baconā€, you have to chug-a-lug whatever you happen to be drinking at the time. Excuse me a secondā€¦ Ahhhhhhh! šŸ˜‰ Also, since I havenā€™t heard that itā€™s against the rules, Iā€™m sharing this on my FB page, okay, guys? ā€¦ Huh? Thanks Q Kevin Bacon. [/QUOTE] ---

I bet itā€™s really nice to be reminded of tasty, tasty bacon every time someone calls your name. ---

> [@Tangent](#): > > So, which part of the Kevin do you make the bacon from? That depends. If itā€™s American Bacon, you make it from the belly (you think pork belly futures is a joke?). If itā€™s Canadian Bacon, itā€™s made from the loin. If itā€™s British Bacon, itā€™s made from the loin with a bit of belly ([according to here,](http://thepauperedchef.com/2010/04/a-guide-to-bacon-styles-and-how-to-make-proper-british-rashers.html) anyway. I always thought British Bacon was back bacon, but what do I know?). Not sure about the Kevin Bacon, though. Too lean, probably. šŸ˜‰ ---

At work we have an activity where you can map your relationships with magnets. Thereā€™s an anchored bit thatā€™s labeled ā€œyou,ā€ and magnets that have various roles and relations on them (ā€œmother,ā€ ā€œcoworker,ā€ ā€œmentor,ā€ and so on) as well as arrow magnets (one-way, two-way, and ones with a red X through them to indicate ā€œbrokenā€ relationships). One of my coworkers swiped one of the relations magnets, put white masking tape over its original label, and wrote ā€œKevin Baconā€ on it. šŸ˜ƒ A few people played with it, but someone took it down a day or so later, to prevent one of our stricter supervisors from seeing it. Killjoys! :mad: ---
