Okay, so I just wrote a bloggy-do thing liek 42.7 seconds ago, but I forgot to say:
I LOVE SIX DEGREES.
If you dont know what that is, you will self-destruct in 30 seconds. Or I will just have to explain it to you.
There is actually TWO ways to play this highly-addictive/greatest game of all time.
THE FIRST WAY!
All right, now be warned: if you have minimal to no movie knowledge, regarding actors, co-hosts, film titles, and televison appearances, you will be crushed by your co-player, namely, me.
So now you're ready to play, huh? Well, if you're sure.
Pick an actor/actress. It's easier to play if you pick someone who has been in a lot of freaking movies, unless you want a challenge, which you don't... yet.
Now, what you have to do is connect this actor, through different actors, and back to him/herself. FOR EXAMPLE: Doug E. Doug, who you may remember as the lovable "Sanka" from the movie classic, "Cool Runnings".
Doug E. Doug was in Cool Runnings with John Candy, who was in Stripes with Bill Murray, who was in Wild Things with Neve Campbell, who was in Scream with Courteney Cox, who was in Friends, with Lisa Kudrow, who was in The Opposite of Sex with Christina Ricci who was in That Darn Cat with Doug E. Doug. Ta-da.
What you are SUPPOSED to do is connect these actors in only 6 steps, hence the name Six Degrees. But you know what? Fuck you. Ninety-thousand degrees is astonishingly more fun. Period. All right, have you got it yet?
THE SECOND WAY!
So, you think you've mastered six degrees? Well, YOU'RE WRONG. There is another, more traditional way of playing.
Pick an actor/actress. Okay, got that? (Sarrah, how is this different from the other way? wahhhhh) QUIET, UNIDENTIFIED INQUISITOR!
Once you have picked an actor... PICK ANOTHER ONE. Bet you didn't see that one coming. Now you're really supposed to pick Kevin Bacon (get it? Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?) but it isnt necessary. I will now use the same Doug E. Doug pattern but this time we will get to, for example purposes, Kevin Bacon.
Doug E. Doug was in Cool Runnings with John Candy who was in Stripes with Bill Murray who was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon. Now wasn't that practically orgasmic?
Now I know what you are all thinking. WHY WAS BILL MURRAY IN WILD THINGS? Well regardless, this is probably the greatest game on earth. Unfortunately, Six Degrees players/enthusiasts are a rare species. So if you have a deep, secret passion for this game, I am willing to play morning, noon and night. I can be found in the deepest depths of Clinton. OR add me --- coolhandsarrah@hotmail.com.
Let's play.
PS. Extra points if you can get to Judd Nelson or Patrick Swayze.
