MacDonald also keeps busy promoting his recent book about the adventure and renovating houses in his Canadian community. "I'm keeping them all a secret until I make my decision who to trade with," he says.
He will reveal only that he has received 300 offers so far. "We'd like to trade the house because it's kinda sitting empty most of the time, and it'd be great if somebody was in there!" As to his barter options, MacDonald is playing his cards close to the vest. "My wife Dom and I lived in the red paperclip house for some time and then decided we'd like to live near our families," he says. This time, he's trying to see what kinds of interesting things he can get for the house he worked so hard to earn. His quest was covered by major media outlets and even won MacDonald a spot in the "Guinness Book of World Records" under the heading "Most Successful Internet Trade." Fast-forward to today, and Kyle's back on the trading block.

After a year of bartering and 14 trades later, MacDonald did it - swapping a role in a movie for a two-story farmhouse in Canada. Kyle MacDonald: "One Red Paper Clip" Proof that anything is possible, Kyle MacDonald stepped into the international spotlight when he sought to trade a single red paperclip for a new home back in 2005. Regrettably, Cagri did not see fit to reply - talk about a kiss off! Nonetheless, I was able to learn that the mustachioed man continues to travel and work as a "profession jurnalist." He plans to visit the United States on an "invitaion" this fall and is mulling "making some promotional PR arrangements." Cagri also continues to "make psycolojy doctora" and, of course, enjoys taking photos of "nice nude models." Some things never change. He indicated that I could try e-mailing questions to Cagri at his Yahoo account (because "I have no telephone connection availability to Mahir as you have to try your chance"). Cagri's manager informed me that his client wouldn't be available for several weeks. These days, Cagri is keeping busy - too busy, it would seem, to have time to answer my questions in person. Mahir Cagri got his first taste of fame back in 1999 when his photo-filled Web site grabbed America's attention. Mahir Cagri: "I KISS YOU !!!!!" The Borat-like guy with a whole lotta love is still looking for lip-lock action. "It's part of who I am by now, and I enjoy doing it. "I'm not going to try to drop it," he says.
And speaking of wings, Maynard also bought his own plane this summer and had it painted as - take a guess - the Tron costume. "The unitard is about worn out." Not to worry, though: Maynard has several more waiting in the wings, ready to be painted and prepped for wear. "It's really on its last legs and showing its age," he says. Maynard - who by day works as a computer consultant and project manager for the Hercules Project, a Windows-based emulator for IBM mainframes - still makes regular appearances in the Tron suit.
Today, the Tron Guy is holding tight to his memories. Maynard, who proudly dressed up in a lit-up likeness of the character from Disney's 1982 movie "Tron," parlayed his inspired duds into talk-show appearances and even a "South Park" parody. Jay Maynard: "The Tron Guy" Jay Maynard's costume made him a household name for a short time in 2004.
