The problem with using "MacGyver" as a word is that there's so many ways to spell it.
Also, it makes me think of Patty and Selma.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So our dog has been barking once in awhile around bedtime at something which she sees out the window. She NEVER barks, so we knew it had to be something.
As I took her out for her walk at 6 this morning, what did I see in the yard but an opossum with two babies on her back! All so very cute and fluffy and staring right at us with bright black eyes. My dog, the doofus, was too busy looking down the sidewalk for other dogs to notice the opossum, so I froze, knowing if Layla saw her she'd bark and wake up the neighborhood. The opossum crept veeery sloooowly along the fence, never taking her eyes off us. Her babies hung on to her back with their teeny hands and also kept watching us. They slipped around the side of the neighhbor's house and disappeared. So cool!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sure beats a truckload of shit.

OMG is it a universal time-space continuum thing, and not just "We've secretly switched her real coffee with something that tastes remarkably like, but with completely inert caffeine molecules."
Dear universe: I noticed.

The IRA has declared it will cease using violence as a tool. [link]
I wonder if the London bombings had anything to do with it. Maybe they realized they were in danger of being lumped in with Al Qaeda, or maybe it was "Well, this is dumb, we are all Christians here" (though I wonder how the IRA justified possibly offing Jews and Buddhists and whomever). Maybe it was a bit of Anglo-Saxon-Celt unity.

Baby opossums are so cute!
And adult opossums are so not.
This is probably true of many animals, but it's been brought home to me by the many opossums that have wandered through my parents' yard over the years.
