You see the bacon number works like this, how many degrees of separation are you from Kevin Bacon as an actor? You have worked with So-and-So who worked with Blah-Blah, who worked with Kevin Bacon. There are websites devoted to this and there is also this site which tells you what the number is of any given actor or actress.
Now, while you can not simply type in my name, Michael T Adams, and have it tell you what the links are, I do have proof that my number is three. Please, walk with me...
The above photo is a cast photo of a play I did in college. Said play was called "God's Country" and it's about the Order, which was a white supremacist movement in the pacific northwest and blah, blah, blah, no one cares. As you can see, I have labeled myself, Kelly from here and Zoe Mclellan, currently from "Dirty, Sexy, Money" a show I have raved about previously. For those of you who may disbelieve the reality of this photo, I also have a review from the local paper, it's down there. Click on it to enlarge it to MEGA size.
Now. Let's do this, remember the oracle of Bacon? It's up near the top of the post. I want you to go there, and in the blank field key in Zoe Mclellan. You'll get a "did you mean - Zoe Mclellan(I)?" just click on it. You should see this:
Zoe McLellan (I) has a Bacon number of 2.
Zoe McLellan (I) was in Conversations with God (2006) with T. Bruce Page
T. Bruce Page was in Mystic River (2003) with Kevin Bacon
Ok, so now let's extrapolate, if Zoe's bacon number is 2 what is the Bacon number of ANYONE who has acted with her. 3. Duh, I told you that already. My Bacon number is 3. So is Kelly's. We are totally bad ass.
Ok, one last thing, if you DO key in my name, it will say I have a Bacon number of 2. I have a news flash for you, this is not me! My number is 3. I told you that several times.

My bacon is 9.5. hehe...
So I think that means that my Bacon # is 3 - not too shabby. One of my best friends does his sister's hair... does that count for anything or am I just reaching here?
What a stupid, stupid review! Completely ignorant and unfair. You've ruined my day, I've never gotten a bad review - even if it is 14 years later. Gah.
GAH!
Not even being 3 degrees from Kevin Bacon will cheer me now.
Well, at least I had great hair.
fullbody - i'm gonna have to see proof. Sorry.
emeraldcity - well, technically you are reaching. But i'm just gonna let it slide.
K - I never looked at it as a bad review. More like a review that was bad. My mother sent a scathing letter to the editor of the GT when this came out, I wish I had a copy of that because she really tore him a new one, and my mother is really not the type to tear anyone a new one.
It does too cheer you up, I know it does, but just to make doubly sure, it also makes our Keifer number like 3 too.
Okay I am duly impressed. But what is your Kimya Hugging number?
Heh - I didn't read the review Michael. I saw that play when I was at OSU not that I remember a thing about it so have no input on the review. Small world.
Zenmomma - Well, let's see. This is going to require higher math. I'm sure there was... There has to be... Carry the... 947 billion. You have me totally whooped.
Emerald - No freaking way! That's just too small a world. I remember you saying once long ago that you went to the best college in the world, I mean OSU, but to have seen that play then. That's so cool! I'll refresh your memory though, "it was excellent and Mike and Kelly were the most amazing actors I have ever seen". I'm pretty sure that is exactly what you would have said.
That's exactly what I was thinking Michael. Wow it's freaky the way you read my mind...
How cool is that!?!!
nissa - Very. I, I mean it, is/am very cool. Sort of.
Emerald - Sorry, I meant to respond to you as well. What I was going to say was:
Practice makes perfect?
