Michael: Oh, dear. Did I cross that line again? I have so much trouble with that darn line. Wally? Also, does that mean that Clark doesn’t approve of Ralph demonstrating all the ways of how not to touch a female coworker? CLARK: Of course, I approve. But he has to do the touching on Wally. And Wally is more than welcome to punch his lights out if Ralph touches him somewhere he doesn't want to be touched. WALLY: Works for me. RALPH: I don't want to touch him. CLARK: What's the difference between him and Cat? CAT: Honey, if you don't know that answer, you have more serious problems than we thought. It will take long intensive therapy to cure. Fortunately, I know a good sex therapist. RALPH: I'll take sex therapy with Cat. CAT: Honey, I wasn't offering it to you. WALLY: <starts to raise hand> CAT: Or you. CLARK: I know the difference. I was asking them. LOIS: Can I punch Ralph's lights out? But without him touching me? CLARK: Lois, Perry asked that you sit this seminar out because we need at least one reporter in the newsroom in case of breaking story. LOIS: <slight pout> Fine. But call me, I'll be right outside the conference room door if you need me to punch his lights out. EW: I've gone on too long, so I'll end this little vignette right here. Thank you. EW: See above.

X Phile: Welcome back! Sporatic FDK is always welcome. Hope your classes are going well. Loved the scene with Henderson! I liked seeing things from his point of view. And it’s always nice to see Martha and Jonathon. Always good to hear. Unfortunately my reviews will have to be shorter now because I don't have a lot of time. Neurobiology will be the death of me xD 15+ hours of homework and I didn’t even finish it Okay, you win. (My daughter's 2nd grade homework took forever, but not that long.) Let's hope that it isn't a daily class.

RALPH: Lois his harder. WALLY: /nods/ Do you mean Lois "HITS" harder? How is this a difference between Wally and Cat? I bet Cat hits harder too. WALLY: Hey! CAT: WALLY: <<groan>> I lie down corrected. Oh dear. So, she’s not allowed to attend seminars during that particular time of the month? LOIS: Care to repeat that? Thank you.

quote: Wally’s better stacked?
EW: [Laugh]
CAT: <Not pleased> but but but Wally’s 300 pounds of wobbling, sweating fat. Of course, he’s got bigger ones. They also have a lot of drag. Do you mean Lois "HITS" harder? Oops. /nods/ How is this a difference between Wally and Cat? Michael

(aka a man-bra, or is it called a 'man-ssiere'?) WALLY: What? I don't weigh 300 pounds. 240 at most. And it's all muscle. CAT: <looks him up and down> 340, and he definately has more wobble than me, but it's mostly around the gut area. ER: Prosecution rests its case.
MET STAR HEADLINE: Daily Planet reporter arrested as main suspect in gruesome murder of reader. Superman insists it was not premeditated. LOIS: <<innocently>> Well, if they read the Met Star, they really should be expecting it, shouldn't they? BTW, see Female Hawk's "The Accused" on the accuracy of Met Star's inaccurate reporting of those type of events.

“Yes, so you say,” Henderson went on. He picked up on that morning’s Metropolis Star he had snatched off someone’s desk when he returned from Kent’s apartment, and dropped it in front of them on his desk. The headline blared: “Garrison Calls Superman a Chicken. Is He Right?” I think it should just be "picked up that", I do not think you need the on. Kent nodded. “I spoke to Murray Brown from the Superman Foundation a few days ago when Menken’s started spreading rumors of Superman attending the fight. Mr. Brown told me that Superman wouldn’t be fighting anyone for money, charity or otherwise,” he said. The man looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here having this conversation. Henderson wondered why that was. I think that should just be "Menken started". Either that or you could maybe go with "Menken's office started". There wasn’t anyone on it, but from experience he knew many people were hurt from falling debris as from the winds themselves. I think that should be "knew as many". He gazed down saw her in courtyard between the barn and the house. She was looking at him with such pride, that his heart began to ache. Oh, to have his mom look at him like that. I think there should be an "and between down and saw and a "the" in front of courtyeard.

Clark hadn’t heard of the offer, nor was he surprised Lois hadn’t mentioned it him. She knew that after Lex shot her, any chance of civility between the two men was null and void. I think that should be "it to him" at the end of the first sentance. “Herb!” Clark said, moving toward him with his hand outstretched. “It’s good to see you.” He paused a moment to look around as if double-checking something, and then went on. “There’s so much I would like to discuss with you. Let’s go to lunch.” He grabbed his jacket off his chair, and quickly escorted Herb back to elevators. I think it should be "back to the elevators" at the end there.

Originally posted by John Lambert: I think it should just be "picked up that", I do not think you need the on. Freudian slip? Thanks. I think that should just be "Menken started". Either that or you could maybe go with "Menken's office started". Right. Have no idea what I was thinking here. Fixed. I think that should be "knew as many". Nope, it isn't a comparison statement. He's Superman; he's actually "knew many" victims. I think there should be an "and between down and saw and a "the" in front of courtyard. Wow, this was really rough. about the stuff that slipped through the cracks. Thanks. I think that should be "it to him" at the end of the first sentance. Yes, that does make more sense. <<hits self with 2x4>> I do read these parts before posting, you know. Not that it's obvious. You're a treasure, John. Thanks. I think it should be "back to the elevators" at the end there. When I type fast often articles get dropped. I often write in notebooks and transcribe onto the computer. I'm trying to read aloud my parts before posting now, but as I do it before bedtime, my brain function isn't always there. Thanks. You'd be amazed at how many errors I actually FIXED before posting.

There wasn’t anyone on it, but from experience he knew many people were hurt from falling debris as from the winds themselves. This sentance is really bugging me. It makes sense through debris as is. However "as from the winds themselves" does not seem to be a whole phrase. The idea that "as many people" sets up the comparison. Or you could say "many more people were hurt from falling debris as from the winds themselves", or "many fewer ..." although I don't think that is what you meant. Maybe I am off base but the "as from the winds themselves" part seems to be setting up a comparison, but that is not how the first part is worded. The issue is not how many people Clark can know, but that the "as" compares the first part and the later part. It would also work with "not just" instead of "as" before "the winds themselves".
