I also have a Bacon Number of three due to at least two actors who were in my play.   I know we already talked about this a while back on the board.  If he's been in any movies with Native American characters, it's possible I have a Bacon number of one, but I know so many actors it's difficult to Bacon-check each of them.

My cousin's father-in-law is Seymour Cassel, making my Bacon number 3 as well, I suppose.

[Choop]

Well, if theater counts, mine is 4: my college director was in a couple Clint Eastwood movies.

But! if the director-actor link is a single bacon, that drops my number to 3 on account of dropping Eastwood's to 1 via Mystic River.

So mine is either 3 or non-existent.

I think a Bacon Number only counts if you yourself are involved in the entertainment industry and worked with the related people directly.  Like the person you link to would need to know you by name and have considered you a coworker in a production you were involved in together.  That's how I look at it anyway.

Aw, where's the fun in that?

I wonder what Bobby's bacon number is?

 Be wide awake at 4 am again but without any Japan to gaze out the window at.

[dejavroom]

Japan is broke for me at the moment because it's one of the lifelong passions of the ne'er-to-be (just as it is one of mine's), and now just thinking about it bothers me. She is going there in December; I heard her describing a certain temple with a certain view of a mountain in Winter and I wanted to die. Shit's sobering.

Last night I was propositioned by a black prostitute in Vegas for the third time in the last 5 years. She was attractive enough that it's probably fortunate I lost considerably more gambling than I usually do and happened to have like only $50 in cash on hand, because she was attractive enough that I think it was likely a set-up, either to get mugged or arrested. I'm not saying that I would have gone along with it, but if I had more cash on hand, it would have given me enough pause to get into trouble. The fact that she is black is significant only because I have NEVER been propositioned by a prostitute of any other race or obvious ethnic background in Vegas or anywhere else. Maybe I just look like a chump with a thing for black girls.

I recommend riding into the castle of your ne'er-do-well nephew and letting Okey drop a steaming load on the royal carpet.  Or at least slinging the severed head of your enemy onto the dias.

Miles, I think we were in Vegas at the same time. I was at the Wynn from Thursday to Sunday. While there I placed my first ever sports book bet (DC United to win) and learned that there is apparently football on all the fuck*ng time. That is supposed to be a Sunday thing, people. I also really miss when most every casino had $5 table games.

You gotta go downtown. Go to the Las Vegas Club, which is kind of a dump but has $2 games (or at least it did last time I was in Vegas about 4 years ago).

also for five dollar single-shoe blackjack, go to ellis island casino, at the super 8 a block behind bally's. they brew their own delicious root beer there too.

The Lady had a free room at the Wynn and isn't so much into gambling. So I'd wander off while she was busy but it was more convenient for both of us if I was close by. Casino Royal has $3 tables (and something like 200x odds) right on the strip so I spent most of my time there. When I went the first time all the places on the strip (except maybe the Bellagio) had $5 at least during the day.

Oh yeah, cool. I was there Friday to Monday. So yeah, there's far more football on Saturday (and that's just Division I-A) than Sunday. It's a terrible time of year, anywhere in America near a TV, for people who don't like football.

The Wynn, fancy. Is it as nice as I hear it is? I was at the Elara. It's a Hilton hotel I guess, right next to Planet Hollywood. No smoking, inexpensive, big rooms. And a strict noise curfew apparently. Perfect for old people. Our suite had a washer/dryer, which I didn't realize until the last day when I was opening cabinets and such to make sure I had everything. Oh, and like a hot tub in the bedroom? It was kind of ridiculous.
