My Kevin Bacon number is two. I know a guy who was an extra in tremors. I have no other achievements in life, so this will have to do.

Eyyy, I came here to say this! I acted with Christian Slater.

Mine is 3 my brother was in an indi film with an actress who was in a movie with him. I'm pretty sure she was one of the three main characters in The craft I just can't remember her name.

Mine is also 3, multiple times. I worked in a bar that was used for film shoots a few times. I've met Josh Hartnett, Lucy Liu, Bruce Willis, and Erica Durance, who all have a 2. I also went to school with someone who is a 2.

If I suck your dick it's almost like I sucked Kevin Bacon's dick

Pretty sure dick shouldn’t smell like that. Maybe mention it so they can get a trip to planned parenthood, you know. Get it checked out.

I'm just glad to see everyone caring about each other like this. It's magical.

It bothers me that you never closed your HTML tag

Perhaps is a self-closing html5 tag and they omitted the slash as allowed by the spec

It might be allowed by the spec, but it still feels wrong. I’m sad XHTML didn’t reign supreme with its extremely picky parser.
