always prepared for adventure

that blogworthy item i mentioned just now? it has come, and my brother hasn't dissapointed. one word sums it up: MacGyver. who remembers saturday afternoons with this guy? i now have the complete first series... let me quote the blurb:

"he's everyone's favourite action hero.. but he's a hero with a difference. Angus MacGyver (Richard Dean Anderson) is a secret agent whose wits are his deadliest weapon. Armed with only a knapsack filled with everyday items he picks up along the way, he improvises his way out of every peril the bad guys throw at him.

Making a bomb out of chewing gum? Fixing a speeding car's brakes...while he's riding in it? Using soda pop to cook up tear gas? That's all in a day's adventures for MacGyver. He's part Boy Scout, part genius. And all hero."
