Hi Marc,
Your ring tone! How fun!

I teach the same about yelling “Fire” to men, women, and kids; and mention it on my post entitled “Self defense and kids — how-to for parents.”

MacGyver will indeed always rock. I’ve got the theme tune as my ring tone

HUGE inspiration for a disabled boy showing that brains win over brawn. Probably why I got into science as well.

I digress. Your scenarios reminded me of something I learned years ago while watching a women’s self-defence class. The instructor told the ladies that if they were ever attacked, they should scream “Help! Fire!”. It had been statistically proven to be more effective than screaming “Help! I’m being attacked!” or just plain screaming.

I’ve never seen Burn Notice but I loved MacGyver when it was on. I’d watch the reruns if they were showing.

I love thinking outside the box. A while back I picked up a book with lateral thinking puzzles. Really makes you think in different directions.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, Bruce Campbell has a great part. Actually, I really like all the characters and how they interact. Fun show all round.

Bruce Campbell is on that show right? I am a long time fan of his and the wit he always puts into his characters.

Hi Patricia,
Great story about Carol Burnett — I can see her doing that. Loved her old show. I like Burn Notice because it is half comedy, half action, so not a lot of crazy crime drama involved.

Hi Vered,
It’s a fun and funny show, but I understand there’s just not enough time in the day, is there?

Hi Janice,
Jack used to be great, but his middle name should be “I’m screwed.” That got old for me.
Jet Li and Jackie Chan — yep, yep, yep.
Patrick Jane — cute, but a little too full of himself for me!

And yes, you should see Jeffrey Donovan’s smile when he plays Michael Westen.
