A contest!: How to Make a Cigarette Lighter - The Hip-hop way

Okay, so clearly MacGyver has influenced countless people, and evidently that includes underground hip-hop artists. Here's a lyric from some rapper named Ras Kass that details a MacGyverism:

“Mama don’t cry/Don’t worry ’bout me/As you can see/I’m actually better than before/Live wire: motherfuckin’ survivor/Fuckin’ MacGyver/Give me some toilet paper/Three pencil leads/I’ll make a cigarette lighter.”

–Ras Kass, “Shine”

Okay, perhaps, I'm dense, but how does one get fire from graphite and tissue?

Doesn't matter- I'm challenging all you rhythmically gifted people to post your own MacGyverism rap. It needs to explain how to make something and rhyme. The prize: well, if I get at least twenty entries--which I highly doubt--I'll send the winner a copy of my book. Email your entries, or just a post a comment to this thread. Whatever.



Enjoy.

Hey Ladies, so you want to be more like MacGyver...

Evidently in 44 states across the country, you can attend a "Becoming an Outdoor Woman" workshop, where you can learn among other things, how to cook a turkey with 12 inch nails and rebar. Rebar is the metal bar they put in concrete to reinforce it, for those of you who don't work in construction. They call it "MacGyver" cooking. Just in time for Thanksgiving.

Here's the link: How to Nail a Turkey -- I hope with a hammer, I don't want to imagine the spawn of a human-turkey love transaction.

Holy Crap! People actually read my blog

Okay, so I'll admit it. I pretty much wrote off this blog because I thought nobody read it, and then suddenly I receive an email telling me I need to update my readers about MacGyver Season Five being available on Mar. 14. My readers? I have readers? Will I soon be able to justify the "I'm famous on the Internet" t-shirt that I wear?

Okay, enough of that self-indulgent babble. Here's the scoop, Paramount: Mac S5 release date: 03/14/06. Until next week, kids.
