That's right, MacGvyer, the guy that can build whatever you need from whatever happens to be lying around.
I may not yet be Batman, but I'm sure dang close to already being MacGyver. In fact, watching MacGyver as a child may have been a motivating factor in becoming who I am (a geek that builds stuff).
The reason I bring this up, is today, I employed my MacGyver skills to repair my punctured car tire. Fortunately I have on hand several quarts of rubber cement (don't ask why) which has proved useful on many occasion. So I was able to saturate a small bit of paper with the glue and shove it down the hole. Unfortunately, or maybe cause I'm lazy in a dumb way, I had to pump it up with a bike pump. Which is as you can imagine, a lot of work. Either way, my tire works, and saved me having to go buy (for now) an actual tire repair kit ($8). But what if the situation had happened somewhere else... well, I'm glad to know I've got the MacGyver I need in me.
If you prep your inner MacGyver you can do some of the following too:
wire a DVD player to a TV with baling wire
fix a dryer motor with bacon grease
use a paper clip to create a weapon of mass desctruction
build a swamp cooler out of a trash can and a fan
work the most awesome mullet of the 80's, but then again... that should probably stay in the 80's
if by chance you need MacGyver's 6 seasons of instructional videoes, feel free to ask me to borrow some, cause I love spreading the power of MacGyver
