Okay, I've been kicking this around for months now (as many friends will attest to!). And after seeing it show up on lists and in fictions, I've decided to reveal to one and all the just who is Blair Sandburg's father and what brings me to this conclusion:

(Drum roll please.....)

Angus MacGyver (Yeah, I know. Mentioned by others before. But like I said! I have witnesses!)

And why, you may ask?
Cast your eyes on the following incontroverible proofs!

Mac:
MacGyver has had more professions than you could shake a stick at.
Blair:
Every other episode, we find Blair has another talent from a past job or helping out a relative or a friend.

Mac:
Afraid of heights
Blair:

Mac:
*Very* into archaeology (subclass of anthropology)
Blair:
Bachelors and Masters in Anthropology (presumably) and working on his doctorate.

Mac:
Carries a Swiss Army Knife
Blair:

Mac:

Blair:

Mac:

Blair:

Mac:
Lived in lots and lots of places all over the world before working for the Phoenix foundation
Blair:

Mac:
Says "Oh, Man" a lot.
Blair:

Mac:
Noble to the point of Knightdom or priesthood (well, maybe just Knightdom, considering all the bad press about priests nowadays)
Blair:
Wellll..... he didn't de-flower a girl who fell in love with him after he was sent to get information from her about her father (course he fell in love with her too.) So I guess we can say Blair is *pretty* noble.

Mac:
Unusual first name
Blair:

Mac:
Cute as a button
Blair:
Cute as a bagful of buttons.

Mac::

Blair's:
