Thread: MacGyver time with a Halloween twist!

Tweet

I'm curious to hear what folks would come up with for Halloween if they had the following in their arsenal:

-a piece of string
-a paperclip
-a roll of ducktape
-a stick of bubble gum
-a ballpoint pen

Mullet is optional.

This would make a good contest...

Might be a good idea but there is a contest going already.

I could make a really really cheezy looking, but functional slingshot...

a piece of string
-a paperclip
-a roll of ducktape
-a stick of bubble gum
-a ballpoint pen

I would make a duct tape ghost.


Use the String to make a shape of ghost. Wrap duct tape length wise on string to form.
Use bubble gum to adhere string to paper clip.
Use paper clip to adhere ghost to tree.
Rip open the ball point pen (preferably red ink) and let the ink dribble down the ghost, for an added effect.

I would build a napalm bomb, just like MacGyver would

Dr Z bombs Halloween factory and steals all the props. Film at eleven.

Eh, that's a $200 contest, this would be more like a $5 contest.


Anyway, is the ballpoint one of the clicky spring type? If so, I was leaning some kind of popup, or a big diorama uncoiling the spring and using the wire to make little flying ghosts and witches.

I'll have to think about this and check with Larry to make sure it's ok.

I couldn't do just a $5 prize. I'm too flamboyant for that. ;D

Any suggestions? What would be a worthwhile prize?

how long can the string be(I can't think of anything but if you had unlimeted string I would wrap myself like a mummy )
