Kevin Bacon Web Find of the Day - 1/11/07

Every once in a while, I find something strange or funny or interesting online, and someone asks me, "How did you ever find that?" It's usually some strange series of links and connections and web searches not unlike the connections in the Kevin Bacon game... so without further ado, here's a look into how we came to today's "Kevin Bacon Web Find of the Day"

Step 1: The Office
I've been watching episodes of The Office online, and this morning I was talking with SunshinE about how sexy Karen Filippelli was when she spoke Italian while setting up her voicemail (See "The Merger", Season 3, Episode 8).

Step 2: Abbondanza!
So all morning I was saying "Abbondanza!", the Italian word she finished her message with, and I didn't even know what it meant. Upon googling, I couldn't find an official definition (I've come to the assumption that it means something along the lines of "Best Wishes", some derivative of "abundance to you!"), but I did find a link to Abbondanza!: for when you don't know what else to say, a blog by Kristin in Pennsylvania.

Step 3: John McClane
Kristin's blog had this video on it, and I found it in only 3 steps! It's a punky take on the entire Die Hard series, name-dropping everyone from Hans Gruber to Samuel L. Mutha Fuckin Jackson... Thanks Kristin and iFilm and whoever else!
