 Brilliant! This was utterly hilarious-- well done, Vicki!!! (Thanks for the references, btw  I admit to being a little depressing at times.)

Cute story, Vicki.
Pat  Thanks, Pat. Although I'm not 100% sure what you meant by "pizza" dream. I was inspired by a LOTR fic that took this similar premise. I was recently re-reading it for fun, then the idea struck me to do it for Lois and Clark and friends.

So nice to have Cat back! Even for a little while!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

Well Vicki, you've already established yourself in the adventure category very well and now you are going after the title 'Queen of Comedy'.
Well done!!!
You should do comedy more often.
It was histericsl.
Congrats.

Congrats. Thanks so much, Ken. I don't know about "Queen of Comedy" but it IS nice to know that I don't suck at it the way I was afraid that I did.

The Daily Planet's Internet servers have connected with our world! Jimmy stumbles across some fanfiction about them. How will everyone react? Oooooh! Sounds like fun The speed alone was enough to impress Clark. It could almost keep pace with him.  It stated that for the purposes of the story, Lois was not dating Lex Luthor because the idea was gross. Clark couldn't agree more. "Hey! Lex was nice to me!" Lois protested. "Well...at least, before he decided to blow up the newspaper in order to manipulate me," she added quickly. "And before I knew that he'd tried to kill you. Or had me cloned. Or tried to take advantage of my amnesia. Hmm...okay, objection withdrawn." "I think I just found a worse one. A list of a hundred ways to kill Superman!" Huh. A hundred ways? ( ) I mean, there’s kryptonite. And there’s Lois Lane. Okay, point withdrawn.

Oooh! Darthy's here with double feedback!  I tried. Also, very uncomfortable for Clark. They went to a 1Gb connection? Huh. A hundred ways? ( ) I mean, there’s kryptonite. And there’s Lois Lane. Okay, point withdrawn.

I might have broken the graemlin limit. If the plot device ain't broke, don't fix it? Because Lois and other guys are gross? And because people tend to throw things if the writers hook up Clark and Lana? Manufactured in Taiwan. The manual actually was written in Hindi originally, translated to Chinese, and then anglicized using Babelfish. Hmm...isn't there a recall on that particular model?

Yes, but this is the *internet*, so therefore, it *must* be true! /nods gravely/ I might have broken the graemlin limit. Michael

Best story ever.... Very very funny....I had a good laugh reading this. I also always pictured Perry knowing Clark's secret (in secret!) for a long time, even before L&C got romantic. I like him not telling it to Clark, but waiting for the moment that more people find out. Cat's reaction to the secret is priceless

Yes. And other *sharp* items. No. But I believe they're sold primarily to Clarks.
