Hunk Friday: Duct Tape Makes the Man!

We're a package deal: love me, love MacGyver.

In honor of MacGyver creator Lee David Zlotoff's announcement that he intends to make a full-length movie of the classic 1980's hit show, today's Hunk Friday post is obviously dedicated to the man himself, Richard Dean Anderson.

I have composed a poem for the occasion:

Man of brains, even though he had brawn,
Angus was his name, and gentle as a fawn.
Could there be a problem you can't solve?
Grand man, your knowledge does ever evolve.
Your Swiss Army Knife was your most faithful chum,
Virilely you stood alone, but if only I had been the one!
E'er I'll smell the sweet perfume of your feathered hair,
Raspberry shampoo that helps plug that sulfuric acid leak over there.

Mullets are for the manliest of men
Army knife in hand
Cassio digital watch for bomb timer
Give me ductape or give me death
You are no match
Vehicle hotwiring
Excites the ladies
Ravishing

Morons, a world full of Liberal Arts majors make me
Angry, I cry at night in my bathroom where
Codeine is easily made for fake
Good times when I'm alone and lonely,
Yet, to help me forget, I still yearn to learn
Virtually every method of diffusing nefarious traps set by
Every jerk bad guy, if only my heart
Required copper wire and pantyhose to fix.

p.s.- Finally a hunk that both sexes and all preferences can be passionate about!

Jim - a moving Impressionism-inspired piece. The text evokes the urgency of MacGyver tried to diffuse a bomb given a limited supply of tools, and the alliteration in the last 2 lines offers an earthy contrast.

Make-quiver - a stunning use of enjambment, representative of the concept that MacGyver's work is never done. Consider playing with assonance as a means of conveying the emotional turmoil at an additional auditory level.

A MacGyve Movie W/O RDA As MacGyve Is A Grave Mistake As He Is Not Replaceable.

I couldn't have said it better myself!

By the way, has anyone ever seen "In the Eyes of a Stranger" with RDA and Justine Bateman? The only way it could possibly sound better would be if Lisa Whelchel, aka Miss Blair Warner from TV's "Facts of Life" were in it too. It would form some 80s supermovie the likes of which we've never seen before!

I suddenly feel the need to get into a scrape, just so I can solve it with chewing gum, a table leg and a shoelace.

I used to love MacGyver. Then I rented the pilot + 2 more episodes a few months back. You can tell they made an early decision to bring more science/engineering consultants to the writing staff at the expense of bringing people who could actually write dialog.

Sorry Angus. You know it's true.

Mullets - and MacGyver approves.

Jamelah - don't forget the moon's gravitational pull!

Stocky Dwarf - apparently it was too much for the common consultants because the show also offered a monetary prize to people who sent good ideas into the show! Check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_problems_solved_by_MacGyver
