treestarfae Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I want to eat bacon with Bacon but not his bacon or on bacon. In Connecticut. The Hunger Games was about a competition and they had a chance to grab weapons to defend themselves whereas the school kids did not. Not relevant.

justLisa Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can you imagine if your last name really was Bacon? I think I'd want mine to be fried chicken. Or cheese. Or maybe cookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 What does it mean if my person has a bacon number of 2? It means that they are two degrees away from Bacon. Here's where it describes it: http://oracleofbacon.org/help.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh. I finally get the picture. Bacon eating bacon. Ok. Duh. I didn't get the cannibal reference at first.

nmoira Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I think the Hunger Games is as relevant to this tragedy as Hansel and Gretel. Ever read King Lear? Now there is a dark tale! And Hamlet!

SwallowTail Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I wasn't expecting humor/kilts, etc. Really, the fact that a very celebrated author writes about young people killing young people for our reading pleasure, and then this horrible mass murder of mostly children happens in her own hometown and no one thinks there's anything worth discussing? I'm sorry, but driving through CT once isn't exactly the same to me as someone writing books about kids killing other kids. ..... Have you read the books?

Trilliums Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I wonder where Stephen King lives. There are plenty of horror writers and have been for a very long time.

Spelling world backwards ain't that easy either! LOL Once in 2011 in the ER, they asked who who the president was about 5 times. She said Obama but in such a monotone way I knew it meant nothing to her and that she was probably going to seize again. So I said ask her something different. They asked, "Who's the governor?" She said, "Pataki." He was Gov. 1995-2006. I said she's not doing good. They said most kids her age don't know the Gov. She started seizing again about 15 minutes later. I KNEW she wasn't doing good!

Just quit it. nah, I have a snotty junior high girl in the house. She sounds more like a deranged chipmunk. (she has a bad head cold right now that has made her "snotty" and attacked her vocal cords, hense the chipmunk voice, combine that with the raging hormones of a 13 yr old girl and you get deranged chipmunk). I have spent as much time pampering her for the cold as laughing at her for the voice. Try as she might she can not have a proper hissy fit with that voice, it has no effect other than to induce laughter from all around her. what was my point??? Oh yeah, I don't hear any deranged chipmunks in this thread, so no snotty junior high girls here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sassenach Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 This website will tell you how many degrees away from Kevin Bacon any actor is if you search for their name. We spent several hours one Christmas break with my dad trying to see if we could beat it. The Oracle of Bacon I went to school with a kid that was in a movie. I put his name in, his Bacon number is 2, which I guess makes my Bacon number 3. Neato! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it was Grand Theft Auto and actually played by the killer and not his innocent brother, I still wouldn't link it. I know nothing of Mass Effect, but a brief exposure to Grand Theft Auto leads me to believe it is violent pornography with no redeeming social value. The publishers of this "game" should be ashamed of themselves IMO. In contrast the Hunger Games (mostly) affirmed positive moral values in very difficult and complicated circumstances. It don't see any equivalence between this book (which deals with serious issues) and the video game (which is absolute trash). Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giraffe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I just wanted you all to know that I've spent way too much time figuring out various actors' Bacon Numbers. Who would have thought that Grace Kelly's number was 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixjen Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My Bacon number is either 2 or 3 depending on how it's counted.
