5 Degrees of Daniel Peterson

[_Daniel Peterson]

Ah. I thought you were joking.

I thought this thread was meant in jest.

I didn't realize that you took this seriously.

I didn't understand that this was all to be taken in earnest.

My apologies.

[_Kevin Graham]

So much for Yellowstone eh Dan?

Anytime you're ready Dan, we're waiting for you to support your accusations against me with evidence.

I wouldn't like DCP to miss the full delights of a post about him because our postings crossed, so here is the edited addition to my post again ...


Why does this picture keep coming back to me at such moments as these?



Let's think, you knock them over, and then ...

Quentin Tarantino has a DCP number of 3:

1. Quentin Tarrantino directed the movie "Pulp Fiction" with Samuel L. Jackson;

2. Samuel L. Jackson was in a movie called "Lakeview Terrace" directed by Neil Labute;

3. Neil Labute took "Intro to Arabic" from DCP while a student at BYU.

I've always heard it as "6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon," for what it's worth. But, anyhow:

1. Ira Fulton paid beaucoup dollars and wielded a ton of influence to prevent D. Michael Quinn from obtaining a Mormon Studies job.

2. Ira Fulton is a Liahona-level contributor to the FARMS Review.

3. Ed Snow is the Church-appointed "fund raiser" for FARMS, and he personally handled the "Fulton Account."

4. Ed Snow is a friend and associate of Daniel Peterson, who is the editor of the FARMS Review.

[_Doctor Scratch]

1. Mike Reed was party to an attempted smear by John Gee.

2. John Gee is a friend and colleague of Matthew Roper.

3. Matthew Roper is a friend and colleague of Louis "Woody" Midgley.

4. Louis "Woody" Midgley is on the Skinny-L List with Gary Novak.

5. Gary Novak runs and operates the Skinny-L list, which includes Bill Hamblin.

6. Bill Hamblin is close friends with Daniel Peterson.

I bow my head to your intellect, Dr. Scratch. You clearly are a master of 5 Degrees of DCP. Excellent job!

I don't think I even get this game, but I'll try it out.

1. I once had a terrifying encounter with a bear in the rugged mountains of Wyoming.
2. That bear ate a fish that was a catch and release victim of none other than my grandma.
3. My grandma walked the neighbor's dog back int he 50s.
4. That neighbor had a bear skin rug made of the great grandpops of the very bear that gave me such a scare.
5. I told Peterson that Kevin Graham once treated me nice and Kevin Graham has started another thread here whimpering and whining about Dr. Peterson, all whilst I was contemplating the life of the bear that gave his life to make a rug for my grandma's random neighbor (of course it would have worked, it seems, if I just said I met the guy once but I'm just following the directives of the other examples).

Your "degrees of separation" are circular.

I can’t imagine for a second why you thought the game worked that way...
