Hi Nick,
glad I could entertain
Nah, I'm good, As said, it's been a bunny, not a raccoon.
ROCKET: Don't call me an alien...no, wait...
Aah, but Wells is arguably not exactly someone on whom the term "inconspicous" would fit...
He could be trying to fit in this time around? Wearing a Big Apricot t-shirt and a baseball cap.
And nothing to be sorry about, I firmly expected some people would be lost in the sauce wit this one (just like Clark), but I felt like I had to write it anyways.
I can get a lot from pop-culture knowledge and inference
Yep, that's what the definition of hitchhiking is: temporally traveling with someone else.
also nitpick: that's temporarily not temporally.
TEMPUS: I knew that the British dude had a weird accent. I never thought he meant "temporally" literally.
The Lc authors didn't make a whole lot of homework there....
Yeah...Then again, they did introduce the concept of Utopia into the story.
Some like these...?
LOIS: Let's swap seets, farm boy! I'll show you the appropiat edriving speed in the city!
CAT: Could I join you for a ride? You will not regret it...
MAYSON: Clark, your driving abilities are...expandable. I'm afraid I have to arrest you for breaking a few laws on the way.
I mean, come on, everyone who would have closely observed the crazy stuff going on on this planet for the last few decades wouldn't call us harmless...
Hence the laughing. But like in a zoo, as long as we're kept behind a glass wall, the feces we sling at the audience are kept contained.
But it states that Lois Lane is frequently flying off buildings and out of planes and landing safe and sound…?
ULTRAWOMAN: Hi there...
(LOIS: ...Wait, what do you mean sound? I'm *not* screaming for Superman. No, you must have hear...somehting else. Yeah, a cat, that must have been it!)[quote] So, next time, the crook should gag Lois before throwing her out of an airplane?
Like a certain reporter who has a talent for getting into trouble...
LOIS: Oh come on now, Clark is a little clumsy, but he's not that bad...
Also, she does have her filled out ten-rescues-get-the-elenth-one-free loyalty cards. She's still hoping to get the hidden price for collecting ten filled out loyalty cards which earns her membership in the mile-high club.
Um, long story short, in HGG, one can "learn" to fly if they are so distracted that they forget to fall.
Aaaah...which is also why Lois always falls, because she's such an inquisitive person, she couldn't let the falling slide.
ZAPHOD: Given my position as President of the Galactic Union, I felt it necessary to check out how far it is with the professionalism of the Kryptonian caregivers. It was just a misunderstanding!
(Aaand I realize you probably don't get that referrence either...ah, too bad)
Not the names, but the HGG movie did have the Earth assembly line featured.
SLARTI: Oh and also, of what use would be a planet without any Kryptonians to populate it?
/forshadows ER pointing at Lois/
Ooooh, nice one. But wouldn't an Adam-Eve situation kind of hamper the gene pool?
Well, I tried. And I didn't even brought Lois in for more shennanigans.
yeah, I guess she's just not as important as Clark is to the story.
LOIS:
"Very weird fun" is a very fitting description for that book series, indeed.
even if you didn't get all the in-jokes.
/points above/ I probably a lot of them. Just maybe not the extra layers?
Michael
