MacGyver Pen- December 21, 2006 Ah, progress. The pen is now indeed mightier than the sword (well, knife actually). I'm happy to introduce the Swiss Military Pen. That's right Military, not Army. I haven't got my hands on one yet to access it's quality, but it's a pretty cool idea nonetheless. Here's a UK distributor. If anyone finds a US distributor, fee free to add it in the comments sections.http://macgyverbook.blogspot.com/2006/12/macgyver-pen.html Breaking News: A New MacGyver TV show!- December 5, 2006 Training MacGyver. That's the name. It's evidently a TV pilot in development. I have no other details. It was an off-hand reference in an interview with an actoractress from NipTuck.

It gives some really good first aid tips, i.e. suck on a clove to relieve tooth pain, superglue a severed finger (it worked for John Wayne Bobbit - the crowd boos, he went for a lame, out-dated severedhttp://macgyverbook.blogspot.com/2006/12/macgyverisms-first-aid-edition.html Soft-core porn and MacGyver- December 5, 2006 Yes, it's a misleading title, RDA was never much into the erotica, though Michael Des Barres was quite persistent; no the title refers to an amusing article about Mike Marvin, the writer of one of the better episodes of MacGyver - "Target MacGyver." You know, the episode where Mac and his grandpa fight off assassins in the woods using pinecomb landmines.
