Ok, I think it's time for a new game -- let's play

SIX DEGREES OF KEVIN BACON

The idea is any actor/actress -- well, let's limit this to the age of television -- can be linked to Kevin Bacon by no more than six steps. For this game, a step means two people's names appeared in the credits for the same movie, or the same episode of a TV show.

To (hopefully) minimize arguments, a connection must be verifiable in IMDB.COM.

The idea is to give a name and the number of steps, then the first person to guess the steps gets to take a turn. For example I might say Val Kilmer in 2 steps, and wait for the first right answer, which would be "Val Kilmer was in Top Gun with Tom Cruise, and TC was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon."

BONUS: If someone manages to make the connection in fewer steps than specified, they get two turns.

Since the steps in between will be listed in the winning answer, I don't think we need to wait for confirmation before moving on.

Oh, one more thing. If nobody can guess correctly, one of the steps can be revealed as a clue. Could be the first step, could be the last step, or just one in the middle.

Here's a few to start:

Red thread: Jodie Foster, 2 steps

Green thread: Arnold Schwarzenegger, 2 steps

Yellow thread: John Wayne, 2 steps
