What I should have done is post about ping-pong ball spins, that would have brought out physics man.<BR/><BR/>As for why have the blog, yesterday we got 2 feet of snow, couldn't get out ot the driveway, what the hell else am I supposed to do all winter? It's entertainment. I like writing it. My traffic has also been steadily increasing, which means I am now world famous.<BR/><BR/>The YouTube link at the bottom of that post has patty and selma reacting to someone disrespecting MacGyver.

I didn't mention it because I still get teary eyed when I use the work "Bears", oh, wait, here we go..We were just so close...<BR/>2. Thermochronologists are the Navy Seals of the Geology world. I'd argue that even Navy Seals must occasionally summon their inner MacGyver. Patron Saint implies something we strive to be. Just think how unstoppable a platoon of Navy MacGyvers would be. And they'd save tons on the budget, only needing to buy leather bomber jackets and swiss army knives.<BR/>3. MacGyver is not a geek. Well, was not. Remember, this was the 80's, and he was Canadian. I think you got taxed if you didn't have a mullet back then.<BR/>4. Guest stars, good idea, I bet there is cross over between MacGyver guest stars and A-Team guest stars.<BR/>5. Is that a sedimentologist making cracks at a thermochronologist? Keeing in Military terms, I'd say sedimentologists are best represented by <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomer_Pyle" REL="nofollow">This Man</A>.Thermochronichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08606230819461771700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-54094506730978379332007-02-14T01:53:00.000-05:002007-02-14T01:53:00.000-05:00i seem to have corroboration on the butkus ID. no...i seem to have corroboration on the butkus ID. now, find me bubba smith!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-29082023098046757592007-02-14T01:49:00.000-05:002007-02-14T01:49:00.000-05:00dude, you failed to notice that the guy mac is tal...dude, you failed to notice that the guy mac is talking with in the NHL water bottle shot is none other than hall of fame linebacker and emmy-winning actor DICK BUTKUS! considering you're supposedly a chicago bear "fan," i'm surprised you didn't notice this. maybe if you spent less time focusing on the science and concentrated on more important shit like guest stars you'd have a few more readers. what i'm wondering is if bubba smith ever made an appearance on macgyver. do us a favor and give the charts and graphs a rest and have a posting devoted to guest stars on macgyver. actually, if you want to have charts and graphs detailing the number of appearances for guys like butkus, feel free. but for the love of god, no talk of radiometric geochronometers or alpha decays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37371348.post-33750889020838906422007-02-14T01:43:00.000-05:002007-02-14T01:43:00.000-05:00I thought thermochronologists were like the Navy S...I thought thermochronologists were like the Navy SEALs or olympic athletes of geology? <BR/><BR/>MacGyver...as resourceful as he is...is a geek.
