You know the name of the game.

Here goes:

1. Duct Tape is like The Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

2. Guns are useless, needless, and belong in museums right next to the cave men.

3. Think, MacGyver, Think.

4. Of all laws to break, Murphy's is the most fun.

5. Don't panic. I SAID DON'T PANIC!!!!

6. A man's tendency towards violence is directly proportionate to the growth of his beard.

7. Exotic moustaches are clues, too.

8. As a matter of fact, that WOULD sound a lot more reassuring if you weren't holding a human skull.

9. When life gives you lemons, make a bomb.

10. SWISS

11. ARMY

12. KNIFE

13. Why are you still holding that skull? I said drop it, it's creepy!

14. Theft is perfectly legal if the bad guy says he never owned what you stole from him.

15. Mullets... are sexy.

14. If it looks too good to be true, chances are you're going to get captured next commercial break.

15. SWISS ARMY KNIFE! It bears repeating...

16. Takes a gypsy to catch a gypsy.

17. In every mission, you will meet a girl, and she will want to kiss you. DON'T PANIC, she'll be gone in about 50-55 minutes.

18. Don the black metal wardrobe and wield the red lightsaber-- YOU ARE HIS FATHER!

19. Seriously, last warning, drop the human skull, or I change the channel.

20. The treasure of Atlantis is knowledge. The Treasure of Atlantis is Knowledge! OPEN YOUR EARS, THE TREASURE OF ATLANTIS IS KNOWLEDGE!!!


I have to stop here, or you people will start hitting me with menacingly blunt instruments.

20$ says you guys can come up with something better.
Any takers?

Europeans are asleep, Americans doing evening activities.

Either that or they're trying to figure out how you, being new to the show, know so much about MacGyver or where you copied that from.

That which has been established will endure even with time and at a distance.

I can't tell you anything about what happens after the cameras go off, mostly because I'm usually unconscious by then.

LOL....um I was probably asleep. Or at my son's school's bookfair. Or comatose from a week of kids saying "how much is this? do I have enough money?" and they have 5 cents and the book is $5.

Anyway...nice list! I chuckled more than once! smile.gif


Here's a copy of the list I did back during the 20th anniversay posts. I don't think it's as good as yours...but here it is nonetheless:


(Almost) Everything I Need to Know I Learned from MacGyver...

There's always someone who needs your help. Sometimes it's your enemy.

You can always rise above your circumstances.

It's OK to be smart. Study hard...someday your life might depend on it.

The only thing cigarettes, alcohol and guns are good for are MacGyverisms.

Sarcasm and a dry sense of humor don't get you very far, but...hey, if it gets a smile...

When all else fails, blow something up.

Your past shapes who you are...so be who you are.

You don't need super powers to be a good guy.

Always be prepared...carry duct tape and a pocket knife.

Be someone's best friend. They'll always be there when you need them.

Be nice to people, even if it backfires.

Say "no" once in a while. But say "yes" more.

Travel light...you never know what you'll find along the way.

It's OK to say "ouch" when you get hurt.

Sometimes you just can't get rid of the bad guy, no matter how many times he dies.

Eat healthy.

Be a pack rat...you never know when you'll need that.

Each morning brings a whole ‘nother set of fresh possibilities.

Life can't be all work and people wanting to kill you. Have fun sometimes.

It's OK to make mistakes if you learn to live with them.

Sometimes you have to climb that mountain...even if you hate heights.

Be generous...share your life with some folks along the way.

Enjoy nature...and take care of it.

Everything you need is around you...if you know where to look.

Not answering the phone doesn't work if you, well, answer the phone.

Sometimes your friends try your patience, and that's OK.

Be 100% devoted to what you believe in.

One person really can make a difference.

If you don't know what you're going to do next, no one else will, either.

Help someone realize they're potential...you'll probably get a hug.

Remember old times...it'll get you through tough times.

Learn from the wisdom of other people. They usually know what they're talking about.

You can do almost anything with a paperclip, ballpoint pen, a gum wrapper, a shoe lace, duct tape and a pocket knife.



"It's amazing what one can do when one doesn't know what one can't do." Garfield the Cat

"Another day, a whole 'nother set of fresh possibilities. I'm a sucker for mornings." MacGyver

What episodes have you seen now Jazz? You have stuff from season four and one of the movies covered. Are you watching frighteningly fast or jumping about?

Mac morphed into Jack (O'Neill) and these words came out:

O'Neill: "... This is SO the last time I help anybody (move)..."

He was way ahead of you... sad.gif jeep.gif

I've been scrambling about.

As much as I love following things chronologically, I get opportunities to see episodes I haven't before, and I take those opportunities. Curiosity gets the best of me, I suppose...
