Having no money to buy a real workbench for their clubhouse, the kids macgyvered a table by using an old board placed over two barrels, and found it worked just as well.

Macgyver is teh bestest tvSHOW ever. In every episode macgyver makes something cool from some random trash. He uses his creations to harm and kill enemies with funny russian and german accents. Murdoc is Macgyvers arcnemesis. Murdoc is kinda scary, but macgyver allways beat the shit out of him anyway.
With only limited time b4 teh enemy would catch up with him, macgyver made a hot-air balloon from a pair of speedos and an unlimited supply of plastic bags.
Macgyver is the greatest.
