I played this game on this sight once AGES ago. It was great fun then, so...It runs like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. The premise is that Joe Schmoe knows A. who knows B. who knows C. who knows Kevin Bacon. How's that link to Firefly?

Harrison Ford...was in "Witness" with Danny Glover who was also in "Lethal Weapon" with Mel Gibson who was also in "The Patriot" with Adam Baldwin.

Ta DAA!

Don't forget to leave a name for the next guy.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

We have a taker!

Orson Welles narated "History of the World Part I," which had Mel Brooks, who was in "Blazing Saddles" with Gene Wilder, who was in "Frisco Kid" with Harrison Ford, who was in "Witness" with Danny Glover, who was in "Lethal Weapon" with Mel Gibson, who was in "The Patriot" with Adam Baldwin.

That's six movies. I almost didn't make it. I wasn't expecting Orson Welles.
