A poll on driving etiquette and six degrees of separation

[kaaatie]

This has arisen from a conversation with a friend, and I'm just interested in what other people do.

[Poll #837909]

I also have a challenge for you. I love the Six Degrees of Separation --- the idea is that any actor can be linked to any other actor in less than 6 moves (a 'move' is a movie or TV show that they starred in together). I believe that I can link David Hewlett to any other actor - so, name an actor, and I'll see if I can do it! Just in case I'm not making sense, here's an example of what I mean:

David Hewlett to Joe Flanigan
David Hewlett starred in "Where The Heart is" with Crispin Glover
Crispin Glover starred in "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" with Juliette Lewis
Juliette Lewis starred in "The Other Sister" with Joe Flanigan

Easy. So, nominate someone for me!

So far I've linked David Hewlett to:
- Hugh Laurie
- Joss Whedon
- Aaron Sorkin
- George Clooney
- Clive Owen
- Derek Jacobi
- John Simm
- Ian McKellen
- Kevin Bacon
- Anthony Edwards
- Will Smith
- Hugh Grant
- Orson Welles
- Matthew Perry
- Kate Winslet
- George Lucus
- Alan Rickman
- Gary Oldman
- Gary Sinise
- Isabella Rossallini
- Keifer Sutherland
- Oliver Platt
- Kenneth Branagh
- Emma Thompson
- Helena Bonham Carter
- Rupert Everett
- Rupert Graves

(The explanations are in the comments. I'm happy to do more if anyone wants to nominate someone!)

Ahh, yes... "The Howdy Nod"... I've been known to use The Howdy Nod too. I sometimes do The Howdy Nod when I'm walking my dog, and we pass another walker. If fact, I'll often go as far as The Howdy Nod With Smile. :)

I do love playing the six degrees game. I do it sometimes when I'm trying to fall asleep, though that can be a bad thing because I'm sometimes bad at remembering movie titles, and I've been known to get out of bed and go and check the title of a movie, which really doesn't help me fall asleep!

Anyway, I managed to link David Hewlett to everyone of those people! He really can be linked to any actor!

You're good! *is amazed*

Okay, fair is fair. Want to send any my way? I don't think I can do David Hewlett but I can probably link Eric Bana or Daniel Craig to anyone. :D
