teenager in house disappearing food (and milk). love the detail about Penny's mispelling on the cast!

don't know if you've ever noticed an anime titled Ruruoni Kenshin (Wanderer Kenshin, sort of.) at one point the hero returns from some exhausting and self-sacrificing journey to the home of the girl who's taken him in and announces the equivalent of "I'm home!" at the gate. later he tells her, he's never in his life had the opportunity to say that before.

Mac's "Milk run, Sam," has a little of that feeling to me. all those years of never expecting it, and now, family!

that's so Jack.

". . . that's alcohol abuse!" figures he'd have his own personal interpretation of the phrase. (bet he never forgets the degreaser again!)

lovely character development, both Jack's horror and Mac's temper.

after Harry, Mac has to have a special touch with curmudgeons. (or maybe just a lot of patience.)

this has an excellent flow from the hilarious first line to the gentler humor of the farmer's ending response.

ah, a moment of relaxation. the parts we never get to see! love the bristly insecurity of, "Do you wish I had?"

fever from the inside . . . . br. i like his association with/longing for the sea. Mac goes into the mountains a lot, but he chooses (often enough) to live on the coast. (Venice Beach, houseboat, and so on.)

thank you for quick slice of experience!

I love this glimpse of MacGyver's empathy, and a refugee's pride. Thank you.

ps - i tried to review "Extra Bonus Scenes" but wasn't allowed to do it twice. so i'll take this chance to say, if reviews encourage you to write, expect a floodtide of them!

A delightful unusual story - I enjoyed this refreshing perspective. Fun drabble. MacGyver's view of the world is delightfully unique!

Furthermore, it is never a good time to give up coffee.

Beautiful descriptive writing.

Can't say I normally appreciate drabbles properly. But I really liked this suite. Just a lovely small bunch of word pictures that made me smile - not that they were universally happy, but they were universally clear and delicate.

LOL! Took me a moment... but I get it now.

Wonderful! What a wonderful, brilliant series of drabbles! You rock!

HA HA HA! Serves Jack right... cutting corners on maintenance!

*giggles* Well said. A wine-lover would have to respect a remark like that!

Hubba hubba hubba! Nice tag for 'The Gauntlet'

*swoons happily*

OMG! What a powerful image! How tricksy and wonderful of you, to turn us around like that!

Very excellent!

GLEE! What a great drabble... and so close to my coffee-lovin' heart.

Mac would never turn up his nose at such a gesture!
