My Degrees of Separation are in Kelvin
I had this dialog in my head last night as I was falling asleep:
Tommy Lee Jones to Kevin Bacon… Go!
Tommy Lee Jones was in A Prairie Home Companion with Meryl Streep.
Meryl is the name of Truman’s Wife in The Truman Show.
The Truman Show was directed by Peter Weir.
Peter Weir shares the same last name of Bob Weir who played guitar for The Grateful Dead.
Jerry Garcia was the frontman of The Grateful Dead.
Jerry Garcia’s last name is part of Dodger Nomar Garciaparra’s last name.
Nomar Garciaparra is married to soccer hottie Mia Hamm.
Hamm is like ham which is delicious and comes from pigs.
Bacon also comes from pigs and is the last name of Kevin Bacon.
Now the astute will notice that Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon appeared in The River Wild together (along with fellow Prairie Home Companion John C. Reilly) but I enjoyed that movie so little that I find it doesn’t warrant a reliable connection).

I’m shocked and slightly appalled at all this useless trivia bouncing around between your ears before bed.
P.S. Do you have an issue with spam? Is the Captcha really necessary? At least it’s readable unlike so many other Captchas, so if you must keep it, I’ll try never to mention it again.

Funny thing about the Captcha, there was a time when I was one of only a few links from ericsplanes.com. Suddenly Blogger (accurately) decided that blog was of note and featured them for a while on their homepage. During that period, I got about twice as many spam comments as legitimate comments so I instigated the Captcha to save myself some time. Anymore, I’m sure I’m getting very little spam, I just haven’t got around to removing it. If I get enough complaints (like one from each of my regular half-dozen readers) I’ll take it right off.

That darn Eric’s Planes! (But you gotta admit they’re addicting…)
