His goal was to get a house, and the people of... some place far from here... made that happe... wait a second. Where the fuck does Corbin Bernsen get off making dreams come true?

"Trade one red paper clip for one fish pen," MacDonald said, "for one door knob, for one camping stove, for one generator, for one instant party, for one snowmobile, for one trip to Yahk [in British Columbia, Canada], for one cube van, for one recording contract, for one year of rent in Phoenix, for an afternoon with Alice Cooper."

Rocker Alice Cooper?

"That was the most bizarre moment of this entire project -- was standing on stage with Alice Cooper in Fargo, N.D., with a giant, red paper clip," MacDonald said.

He traded the rest of his time with Cooper for a snow globe. And his followers thought that would be it and it would all end there -- without a house.

But no. Enter actor Corbin Bernsen, an avid snow globe collector, who wanted MacDonald's snow globe and offered a paid role in his new movie in exchange. The people of Kipling, Saskatchewan, Canada, wanted the movie role. Their offer? Finally, the house.

"When I got this offer it was just-- It was mind-blowing," MacDonald said. "I've never lived in Saskatchewan, and I've never been to Kipling."
