Kevin Bacon?!

[Kogo Shuko]

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Bacon. Footloose, Hollow Man, Murder In the First.

Big BIG BIG fan!

About a year ago I was working for this giant corporation (it's scary) in their internet billing department. CSR, baby! Anyways, my friend got a call. She sought me out after the call was finished, excited to tell me the news - which wasn't all that new to me. I do know my trivia and random tidbits.

She had received a call from one Kevin Bacon - about charges on his bill that should not be there. Turns out Mr. Bacon was absolutely correct.

Now keep in mind, this can not possibly be the actor. But she was trying to lead me on. Even though we're in Canada, and he's American.

So I asked her - "Does he have Dr. as his prefix?"

...."Yes....."

Yah... I know who it is. There's a Dr. Kevin Bacon in "Mystic River", Ontario. He's actually a vet. One day I had been searching "Kevin Bacon animals" and found an article on him. He's not that far from where I live, either!

I guess I ruined my friend's fun - but I still got a kick out of it. I asked her if she found out if he was related to the actor. Of course she didn't.

I had a guy write a check one time and his name was Tom Riddle. I didn't say anything because I figured he got enough crap from Harry Potter fans.

I used to cash payroll checks for Michael Jackson at Wal Mart.

I know a Tom Croose.

I can't help but think of office space with this one.

"Why should I have to change my name, he's the one that sucks."


My only real claim to fame is that I have met Katie Holmes. She was 2 grades ahead of me at the High School that I went to. I really feel bad for her parents with her being married to Tom Cruise.

I grew up in the same town as John Grisham. I've never met him, but I know some of his family.

I grew up in the same town as Ryan Gosling. I know his cousin, and my father works with his. ^__^

Never did meet the guy... but when he was in the Mickey Mouse Club everyone who went to the elementary school that he had gone to wore mickey mouse ears to school every Friday.

I have a regular customer named Elizabeth Tudor.

But my husband can top that. He works with a lawyer named James Kirk.

When I was doing workers comp I had a medical bill sent in for payment from a Dr. Frankenstein,
I figured having Frankenstein as a name would be a pain as it was but why go through the torment of jokes by adding Dr to it.
