Ok, right off the bat-yes, I know I took liberty with the spelling of Miss Easton's name. Forgive me.

Bee Sting

Disclaimer: Oh, that my Swiss Army knife could fix the fact that I don’t own them! Perhaps a paper clip, a gum wrapper, some jumper cables, and a whole lot of luck could change that, but for now Paramount still has my friends held hostage…any takers on a rescue mission?

He’d learned it by accident.

Two women had been talking in line behind him at the supermarket.

They’d had no idea he was listening.

They’d prattled on about nothing until a book near the register caught their eyes.

A baby name book.

They’d thumbed through it, laughing at various names.

One jumped into MacGyver’s brain and burned itself into his cerebrum like molten lava.

Its meaning made him laugh at the world’s sense of irony.

Deborah.

It meant ‘bee’.

Bee.

How perfect.

Mac had only known two women named Deborah in his life.

And both of them sure did sting.

Nice! biggrin.gif By the way--is that true? Deborah means "Bee?"

Yeppers. Looked it up. I was struck while watching 'The Road Not Taken' a while ago that the name seems jinxed for Mac, so I got to thinking how I could get it in a fic. This was the result. Not worthy of a fic, but a drabble-sure!

Those are fun. I like to build stories around a single word sometimes, too.

You posted! clapping.gif Yay!

Nice drabble there... and didn't know that Deborah meant bee. Fitting, I have to say.

I can hear the irony in Mac's thoughts. You packed a punch in those few words. Kudos! biggrin.gif

Yep, I finally got around to getting my Mac fic over here! Thanks for the encouragement and kind words. As for the meaning of the name...I couldn't belive my luck when I found that out. I check on multiple baby name sites, etc, just to be sure the internet wasn't messing with me. biggrin.gif
