OBJECTIVE: Select a guy and a girl and connect them within 6 degrees through:
-dance dates
and/or
-dating relationships
EXAMPLE: Objective is to connect Rick Zuniga to Danette
1) Rick Zuniga danced with Elaine K. at her prom
2) Elaine K. danced with Jason at his prom
3) Jason dated/married Debs
4) Debs danced with Richard Wong at her prom
5) Richard danced with Danette at her winter ball
HISTORY: This is the first official irreverent game I created. Danette, my wife, and myself went to visit Richard in Scotland in July 2001. The first thing we did was take a tour of The Highlands. Our first night was spent at a bed and breakfast which did not have anything entertaining. Since, Dan, my wife and me couldn't sleep due to severe jet lag, we were forced to entertain ourselves.
WHEN WE PLAYED:
1) 2001 in Scotland (Dan, Debs, Richard, me)
notes: while it generated many laughs, it was deemed too dangerous
2) 2007 at Eunice's Canadian send off party.
notes: it was not really played but only set up to see if she would get mad at me for making her play
I made her draw from a paper bag with a bunch of names (all of them Aaron Wai) she had to connect herself to him.
My plan was to have her link:
1. Aaron Wai danced with Karena at her prom
2. Karena dated/married Victor
3. Victor dated Eunice
However, she outsmarted me by saying, "I went to grad-night with Aaron."
3) 2007 at CEFC Summer Retreat
important note: My wife has banned me from ever playing it again (outside of this site) due to the fact that is promotes exclusive socialization which I feel convicted of. Please don't play this game in public unless everyone can participate.
So, those of you that know the following 2 people, the current stumper is:
Rick Zuniga to Judy Kwan
Post in the comments section if you can connect them in 6 degrees.
*Update: someone has been able to connect them in 8 degrees.

I have an answer but it includes 10 people (including Kevin Bacon). Hopefully I can cut it down to the required 6 degress...
Haha. I like Michael's comment. I can't play this game because I can't ever remember who went to which dance with whom.
I gotta tell you that even though I already know about the game, I've played it a few times, and I knew you were going to write about it, I still find this blog totally hilarious. I even laughed out loud.
I'm still in favor of including people photographed together at a dance in a group picture. That would make the game a little easier.
Or at least use a Mii face to go with it...=P
how funny...it's still bothering you, eh? i can't do it in 10 steps, let alone 6...dead ends! too many dead ends!!! =)
It's not bothering me. I just create the chaos. Rick, Vic, and Mike are convinced it can happen. Actually, Mike thinks I need to allow more degrees.

Well said.
