First of all, I know my grandparents personally, so we don’t need to include my mother as a degree of separation between them and me. That brings you within four degrees. But let’s not forget the fact that you happen to have met my grandparents, so you can just wipe me right out of the picture. Basically, the path that leads from you to Mr. Bacon is this: you’ve met my grandparents, who met Kevin Bacon when he was filming Footloose at their house. Therefore, you are only two degrees from Kevin Bacon, and you act as the third degree for all those further down your chain. So everyone you know and everyone they know and everyone they know are all within six degrees of Kevin Bacon. Isn't it exciting? I should also clarify that my grandparents’ house wasn’t a major part of the film, and my grandparents aren’t exactly tight with Kevin Bacon. They probably wouldn’t even know who he is if he hadn’t filmed a movie at their house and racked up the long distance charges on their phone bill while he was there. Their house was used as the setting of a retirement home, and I believe the crew spent a total of two days filming there. Those two days of filming translated into about two seconds of face time in the movie. It would have been hard for even the biggest Footloose fan to have noticed their house, since a poorly-timed blink could eliminate one’s chances of ever having seen it. But it is there, and if anybody wants to stage a screening of this 80s classic, I would be more than happy to point it out.

I knew there was a connection between Mr. Bacon and myself. I could feel it from the first time I saw him on the tube. It's a small world. That’s flippin’ incredible!!!
