This past week’s post as previously presented:
Eating some delicious bacon over the weekend, the movie “X-Men: First Class” (starring one Kevin Bacon) came on the television. Looking from bacon to Bacon and back again, I knew that there was a GeekDad Puzzle of the Week in here somewhere…
Below, please find a list of 12 movies that have featured the prolific Kevin Bacon and the name of one of his co-stars within each film. To make things interesting, I have disemvoweled each entry, and have placed the letters of each word in alphabetical order. For example, “X-Men: First Class with January Jones” becomes “mnx frst clss htw jnry jns”
- cdllrvw htw kry cdgksw
- cmsty rrv htw clnr bfhnrs
- dfry ht hhnrttt htw dnnr gkn

- lmn hs htw hjn bhls
- lnps nrst dn blmst htw hjn cdny
- lprss htw dnst ffhmn
- mrrst htw chlm grss
