Whew! I'm so relieved you guys get where I'm going with this story!
Lynn,
Thanks so much for your encouragement along the way! I will definitely incorporate the things you pointed out in the final. Nigel NOT Niles! DUH! :p And the others that you mentioned in previous posts! I really do appreciate it.
Tank,
You crack me up
Shave Luthor's head indeed! Maybe if he had had a shaved head in the show, Lois would have NEVER gone for him in the first place, LOL
Bob,
I'm so glad you're liking the story now
And the image of Luthor and the cobra is EXACTLY what I had in mind when developing his character and relationship with Lois
