Re: You know you are a tech because...

You did a MacGyver and real proud of it and now you think you are ionstien

The show follows secret agentAngus MacGyver, played by Richard Dean Anderson, who works as a troubleshooter for the fictional Phoenix Foundation in Los Angeles and as an agent for a fictional United States government agency, the Department of External Services (DXS). Educated as a scientist, MacGyver served as a Bomb Team Technician/EOD during the Vietnam War ("Countdown"). Resourceful and possessed of an encyclopedic knowledge of the physical sciences, he solves complex problems by making things out of ordinary objects, along with his ever-present Swiss Army knife. He prefers non-violent resolutions and prefers not to handle a gun.

You've used a vacuum to cover a fart sound and cleaning fluid to cover the smell.

When you clean glass so well, people walk into sliding glass doors in your home.

Re: You know you are a tech because...

when you have no room for people to sit in the car, full of parts and junk.

when all your ties are missing missing threads

when you start becoming a pac rat, cause you think every part can be used for something or you can fix the machine that was driving you nuts. don't throw it out as yet, have to fix that sucker.

Re: You know you are a tech because...

OH yeah and try to ID the copier on the movie/ tv/ commercial...

I saw a very old Canon copier in a sitcom a few weeks ago - think it was a GP200.

I thought, "Is that all the better a machine they could get for a multi-million dollar show?"

It's a sitcom, or cryin' out load.
