Kevin Bacon is so bad ass that Chuck Norris will only come within two degrees of Kevin Bacon, and that isn’t voluntarily. ---

Some say that last year he made six figures… _with_ a decimal point. And that Wolves line up to dance with him. All we know is: he’s called **Kevin Bacon**! ---

> [@Ellen\_Cherry](#): > > And ATTENTION EVERYONE! This thread [is now on The Straight Dope home page](http://www.straightdope.com/). > > ::: jumping :::: waving :::: **Hi Kevin!! Hey, Kevin!! Hi!! Look over here!!!** Isn’t it bad enough that someone like Kevin Bacon can’t go out to have a nice dinner at Spago without someone telling him how much they liked him in _She’s Having a Baby_ and could they please get an autograph for their daughter, Fred? Now poor Kevin Bacon can’t even get up, scratch himself a couple times, and sit down at his computer, unshaven and wearing boxers and a ratty old t-shirt[sup]\*[/sup], and check his e-mail, which must contain lots of scripts from important producers and casting agents, without google alerts telling him “ooh, we’re quite the coolest people on the internet to hang out with,” and “could you give a shoutout next time you’re on _Entertainment Tonight_ so we know it’s really you.” Is this the world we want to make for Kevin Bacon, and all the aspiring Kevin Bacons like him? Yes, Kevin Bacon probably looks good like that, but that’s beside the point. ---

Okay, I might as well come clean, folks. I’m Kevin Bacon. I chose the _nom de fake_ **Chef Troy** because I was conceived in Troy, NY and if the acting thing hadn’t worked out, I wanted to be a chef. I’ve been living a lie all this time because frankly, I felt intimidated by all you high foreheads and I thought you’d all look down on me for being an actor. Whew! It feels SO good to get that off my chest. Thanks, everyone. Oh, and p.s. – no love for _Hollow Man_? I thought it was the pinnacle of my filmography. …Okay, I’m not really Kevin Bacon. ---

Oh, what the hell. Hi, Kevin! Really enjoyed your work–I still remember Chip Diller getting trampled in _Animal House_, and the great job you did as Jack Swigert in _Apollo 13_. Hope all is well, and looking forward to seeing you in the pictures again soon! All the best, Spoons ---
