I'm usually very bad at leaving comments but this fic really made me laugh out loud so I thought I ought to tell you.

I like this because, to me, Jack can sometimes be one of the coolest heroes in the history of TV, and the second after remind us that he can also be such a lame leader or come up with a plan that makes us go WTFLOLWHUT? So I can truly imagine one of his epic space/time stories ending with "... and so then I duct taped the two spaceships together".

I aim to entertain!

I like to think that as lame a leader as he can be, you don't get to be that way entirely by being an idiot. I mean, he obviously managed to not get killed for a while before Rose Tardised him, so he has to be a little resourceful.

Haahahaaahah They say that one strip of duct tape can pull 67 pounds. I figure if you used enough....

That was freaking brilliant. Every time you added the tape sound effects, I'd make the noise right along with it.

Makes you realize just how well Jack and MacGyver would get along...oh, wait...crap, there goes another plot bunny.

Duct tape FTW!

I love the duct tape noise, too! So visceral.

Thanks for reading!

Love this E, oh yes.

And I will never forget the day I learned that duct tape came not just in silver, but all sorts of colors. WOO!!! :)

I'm trying to decide if I can send this to my Torchwood AND Duct Tape loving child. Alas, it may be a smidge too R for him. Not to read, necessarily, but for him to get from his Mom.

At least I'm not going to print it off and mail it too him at camp...maybe just a link when he get's home.
