So I thought of a really non-useful-at-all idea the other day, but I thought I'd share it with you fine folks so you can see what a geek I am:

Introducing, Seven Degrees of Letterboxing!

How many exchanges do you have? Do you have an exchange with someone who has a whole lot of exchanges? Heck, you could be two degrees from the Green One or even Choi! Maybe there's a boxer across the pond who you're only 3 degrees from! Check it out:

I recently found a pretty neat hitchhiker called Roamin Ogre Sage. Turns out the boxer that planted it has the name Road Ogre Sage! How many degrees am I from them?

Mr. Yuk to Cyclonic to Team New Hampshire to Warrior Woman to Road Ogre Sage...

4 degrees!

Now, I realize this has no practical application at all, and would probably only work with AQ registered boxers, but is this a cool thing?

eh, probably not. I have a lot of time on my hands here in the Philippines.

It wouldn't be that hard to be just two degrees from the Green One--I've been around for quite awhile and have attended gatherings all over the country. I would bet you could usually find *someone* at any decent-sized gathering that has exchanged with me before. =)

Oh yeah I know, I see you around a lot on exchange lists. I was just trying to think of some lbing celebrities as Kevin Bacon stand-ins. Yourself and CHoi were the first ones I could come up with...

It would actually be a lot harder to be within a couple of degrees of someone who went to only 1 event or no events, just met someone on the trail.

You, Mr. Yuk, exchanged with Cyclonic
Cyclonic exchanged with Mark and Sue
Mark and Sue exchanged with Choi

It's a lot harder to do than you'd think because a lot of people with tons of exchanges have not recorded any on AQ. I bet a lot of these on the East Coast will involve Mark and Sue since theirs is updated.

How about connecting Mark and Sue to legerdemaine?
