Six Degrees of Kurashima
Its a while since we had a forum wide bit of a laugh, so whilst browsing a few less than legal individuals profiles today at work (all part of the job, seriously) , i came across a customer called Khashoggi. And it got me thinking of the ultra dodgy arms dealing saudi billionaire. And an amusing sidenote said that , in theory, every single political person in the world could be linked to him within 6 moves (A la 6 degree of Kevin Bacon). Hence , theres now two threads here , one for those who know more around the political scenes of the world, and one for those who dont take life that seriously. Of course, once this lot are out the way, you guys are free to suggest individuals you think cant POSSIBLY be linked to the individual within 6 moves, and hopefully this will allow the thread to continue Ad Infinitum.
So ladies and gentlement. I give you a series of individuals, and i challenge you to link them to Kurashima within 6 moves.
The Right Honorable Anthony Blair, Prime Minister of Britain
President George W Bush, of the United States of America
Real Madrid & England footballer David Beckham
The Founder of Microsoft and modern day philanthropist Bill Gates
The President of Zimbabwe (Jakiri, Please for the love of god dont make that joke) Mr Robert Mugabe
The Right Honorable , and still refusing to budge on the peace process , Reverend Iain Paisley
Begin!

Re: Six Degrees of Kurashima
Dont you need a series of interesting Shima facts in order to do this thread?
Besides, both those threads allow for this to be extended to other users and famous folks once the original 6 players are removed.

Paisley's not a Privy Counsellor (thank God), and it's "Honourable", damn you.

Re: Six Degrees of Kurashima
It was more of a "you're posting two threads that are the same" criticism kinda thing.
I expected it to get deleted quite quickly...

Is this like a chain-letter thing?

Didnt hit the right spot. He never mentioned midgets , beards , fatties or scotsmen.
Besides, the other two were, as explained , for different people. Theres a good portion of people on here who dont give two shits who Adnan Khashoggi is or what hes done. And theres a good portion who do and would find amusement in linking him to some of the most powerful and influential people in the world.
I think ill retitle this
"ITT , Ste completely misses the point of the previous threads"

Thats because it takes time and effort to think of links between those people, and neither of the aforementioned to spam the forum.
