Like a lot of you I've been wondering when Sheila will return from her holiday. I know she's out there somewhere because she recently did a guest post on my blog (drift) and now I'm here to return the favour...
Sheila and I love to play the 6 Degrees of Separation game so with this in mind I planned to write something about her connection to some of the people she writes about here at My Arms Fold Back. What I was really hoping for was a connection to Anna Nicole-Smith through Zsa Zsa Gabor. Sadly I couldn't make the connection in 6 steps. The best I could manage was 7:
Sheila knows Nash who knew (the late actor) Les Foxcroft who worked with Barry Humphries (aka Dame Edna) who knows Zsa Zsa who's married to Prince Frederic Van Anhalt who claims to have impregnated ANS. Close, but not close enough. Oh well, it was worth a try.
Here's another, more successful, attempt:Sheila knows Nash who knows Deborra-lee Furness who knows Nicole Kidman who was once married to Tom Cruise who's now married to Katie Holmes. Arghh, it's a creepy TomKat connection! I'm sure Sheila's delighted...

Dearest Nash,
What a delight it was to read your guest post! All the six degrees of separation games seemed to have a common link - you! I'll tell you what - I bet I can get to the TomKat outcome in less degrees - here I go: Sheila meets Jackie Chan who is a favorite of Quentin Tarantino who is great friends with John Travolta who goes to church with Tom Cruise who is married to Katie Holmes. Oh dear that makes six, no one is a match for you Nash. Hey, great mug shot of Princess Zsa Zsa.
Kind Regards,
Sheila
Oh Sheila,
You found it! Hooray!
Guess what Nash, I think I can do Anna Nicole Smith in 3 (I may be breaking the rules so you'll have to decide whether this one counts). Sheila goes to the Big Day Out and winds her way through the crowd to see an up and coming band called "Silverchair". She stands close and thinks about how these boys do it - I think they were about sixteen at the time - juggling high school with rising fame. She makes eye contact with Daniel Johns (probably a figment of Sheila's wild imagination - I think everyone who sees a band thinks that the lead singer has met their eyes) anyway, Sheila has an eye to eye encounter with Daniel Johns. Much later, when he's all grown up and had anorexia, severe health issues, a marriage to Natalie Imbruglia, and so on and so forth, he shares the stage at the Australian MTV Music Awards with none other than Anna Nicole Smith (I think she even flashed her boobs - I'm not 100%). Could I be so bold to say that's a 3? Nash, its your call.
It counts if this one does too:
Nash is on a flight from Melbourne to Sydney which Daniel Johns just happens to be on too (after a gig on Rove Live with Paul Mac). When they arrive in Sydney they have sex at the airport hotel. Then Daniel Johns ends up on the MTV Awards with Anna Nicole Smith ("D'you like my body?")
Hmmm. Okay, the sex part isn't true (yet), but the rest is. I just can't be sure we made eye contact so in this case I will concede defeat (with a smile on my face)
Hi Nash and Sheila,
LOL! This is marvelous! You two are wonderful writing together; perfect foils for one another. Perhaps you’re the next Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodruff in the making. Many kudos to Nash for drawing Sheila out of her early retirement, and bravo to Sheila for showing us another of Nash. Encore! Encore!
An aside: charming picture of Zsa Zsa!
Uh, Sheila...I hope you don't mind the damage in here while you were away. I'm sorry the curtains got messed up.
I blame Nash. He was reinacting the scene where Zsa Zsa smacked the cop. LOL
Dahlink, I alvays get ze blame
Hi Nash,
We did make a horrendous mess in here when Sheila was away "On Holiday". Maybe she's moved to a new blog site and hasn't told us?
Hi Shelia!
That must have been a great holiday, perhaps next time you will take me with you?
It is good to see you =)
I can shorten your first attempt.
Therin knows actor David Whitney, who worked with Barry Humphries (on "Sir Les Patterson Saves the World" - and probably wishes we all forgot that one), who knows Zsa Zsa, who's married to Prince Frederic Van Anhalt, who claims to have impregnated ANS.
Hi Theron Of andor,
Your comment impresses me greatly. Its not only your six degrees of seperation score that has my temperature rising, its your lovely blue makeup. I couldn't resist and I looked up your profile and found that your one of those star trek nuts. I mean nut in the nicest possible way. I have seen photos from conventions that you guys go to and you must have a blast. When the "Planet Of The Apes" was being filmed, monkees did not mix with orangutans and so on. Is that the same for these conventions? Does your breed of alien find others attractive/repulsive to the senses?
