… because you go to the same message board I go to (i.e. this one). See, my sister’s friend Emily has a boyfriend whose mother used to go out with Kevin Bacon’s brother.
Which means your mom is six degrees from Kevin Bacon.
I never was a fan of Kevin Bacon.
I’m thrilled.
And your mom is five digrees 
Actually, my mom is four degrees (since she isn’t any further removed from my sister than I am).
Actually, this doesn’t count. >:( Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon relies totally on film and TV and whatnot. >:(
Besides, I’m four degrees under your bad definition >:(. I’m friends with a guy who was in a movie with Lee Corso. Lee Corso was in The Waterboy with Clint Howard. Clint Howard was in My Dog Skip with Kevin Bacon.
Ewww.
That would require thought and I was leaving home. Not that I would pause to think about it. Yar!
