Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Lois & Clark Fanfic FDK - Wrong Clark (52/??)

It is words that start with vowel sounds. Thus you say an hour. In this case generally it is prounced as if it was spelled empee, so it starts with a vowel sound.

Or we could just point out that Bureau 39 shows up just after Superman appears, and if they could catch him almost certainly would drag him off to a lab and disect him like a frog. If he did not have a secret identity to sleep under things might go much worse.

Hmm, I guess you are right. His observation about Lana just going with Hank because he was more likely toenable her winning as Prom Queen caused me to think that. I guess I forgot that Lana liked to bounce from boy to boy.

Actually, I doubt that. In many states statuory rape requires the victim to be under the age of 17, and generally if the potential vicim is at least 16, even in states where 17-year-olds can be statutory rape victims, there is generally some sort of sliding scale rule, so very few states consider sexual relations between an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old to be statutory rape. 19-year-old and 17-year-old and 18-year-old and 16-year-old maybe, but generally not 18-year-old and 17-year-old.

I actually looked it up. In Kansas once someone turns 16 staturoy rape is not possible. Even in New York once someone is 17 it is not possible. I know Michigan has passed recently laws that make sexual relations between teachers and any student, even if the student is 18, illegal, but I do not think any such laws existed in the 1980s, and even if they did they would not apply here.

John:

There was whats-his-name the hypocondrac who stood her up for Luthor's Orchid ball. He's a "define guys" type guy. And Lucy did mention that Lois had more "interviews" than "dates" (until Luthor, who was really -- let's face it -- only trying to get in her pants.)

Well, isn't "Recovery" in medical terms where they put you between surgery and your hospital room to see if you're going to flatline on them?

CLARK: Well, in that case...

Yes, he could have gotten a concussion, but my feeling was that he tripped and hit his head at the beginning of losing his powers and that Martha went to help him (as Jonathan did in canon) while leaving the box open, thus draining away his invulnerablity while he was knocked out.

CLARK: I've also find it's good policy to believe that Lana isn't telling me the full story.

Right.

Yes. That is true.

Yeah, I went a little overboard on the backstory for this arc a bit.

CLARK: I like to err on the side of caution.

I just watched "Green Green Glow of Home" and realized that one of Rachel's deputies in there is named Hank.

Was that factor an inspiration for the Hank here, or is that just a chance coincidence?

Hmm, that Hank was the person Jimmy at first thought was the sherrif. This will make things interesting.

Yep. That's the Hank that Lana married. 2 Points!

Ooooh! Is this going to be another part about Clark’s exes?

/imagines mugging and stuff/ What a *creep*.

Is he now serving a life sentence for continuing to rob, do stuff, and murder young women at Six Flags?

Well, she was military, so she might have dug up some crystals and tried to vanquish the alien threat.

That would have been awkward.



So, the Kents?



Can you imagine *that* gossip?

So, Max put some potassium chloride into his dad’s beer?

So, getting arrested in Smallville is worse than getting arrested by a stereotypical Middle-to-South American militia captain? And Clark doesn’t even have his powers to protect Lois from the frequent dangers of prison in such an environment.

But he’s the guy who took Lana away from Walt! Wouldn’t that show the world that he’s broken up with his best bud? Plus, wouldn’t the Town Banker hold significant sway over the townsfolk if they misbehaved like that?

Yes, it is. Had he not taken Lana away from Walt, Rachel would still be alive.

Rachel’s daughter with Clark?

Aaaaahhh! There’s our Lana

From the Smallville Smalls?

Umm… Shotgun wedding with Hank?

Michael

Hi Virginia,

Finally, it's Sunday and I'm trying to catch up with my reading. I didn't have a minute this week.


French? Sorry, I don't understand.... I don't see any French word here.

Poor Clark! And poor Rachel: why did you have to kill her? I like her! You could have killed Lana.

And she even has her first name.
So, if this Lana slept with Walt, Clark's Lana may have slept with "her" Walt. And, may be, she got pregnant and had to abort. It's why she didn't (ou couldn't) have children.

CLARK: Who? Me?

PERRY:

Hi Sidney!
American colloquialism for using strong language.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pardon_my_French

Michael

Thanks, Michael! I didn't know this American colloquialism.

But it seems to me that, in the US, people have very strange ideas about French language!

Michael: It must be the weekend!

Kind-of sort of, not really. I think the part you're looking for is #54.

CLARK: No comment.



Um... technically... it started with the bounce, then lead to that.

True. Clark never cared enough to ask what alt-Max was up to when he last saw Rachel.

Nope, she's good military, not psycho military.

After he and Rachel had moved on.

Yep. Those radical hippy types.

MR. HARRIS:

MAX: I plead the 5th.... I mean, no comment. I mean, you're under arrest for slander!



Leaving Walt dateless for Prom night.

MR. LANG: I find it best not to anger the hoards... I mean, the customers, who might then make a run on the bank.

SEE!

Wrong dimension. Walt was stocky with red hair. Rachel was blonde. Not ravishing blonde like Lana, more dishwater blonde.

LANA: Thank you for the clarification.

Thems the ones.

Let's just say Hank's more well-mannered than Walt. <a shotgun wasn't needed>

RACHEL: What would I care? It was just a first (and LAST) date, IMO.

Traumatize Lois? Why? Because he loved someone before meeting her? Or because all of Clark's loves seem to be danger-prone? Probably best not to introduce her to dead Mayson, then, huh?

CLARK: Besides the female form, I also minored in double-speak (under the political science wing of humanities).

LOIS: Tahiti?

LOIS: Clearly!

LOIS: Well, he could try that, but I'm not going to say that I liked it.

So, once she got her release, she'll not want Clark anymore?



LOIS: Oh, I thought disgusting creep was just a sub-section of bad boy. My mista... er... misunderst... er... Well, he IS bad!

Alt-LANA: He never said he was nobelity!

ROMANCE, Michael, not HORROR, or GOTHIC ROMANCE.

Crashing the truck?

Possibly.

Strange. I thought it was obvious.

Well, they are WALKING over to the Irigs' farm.



Yep, there goes his blood pressure again.

Yea! It IS the weekend!

Er... sorry... I meant to put an apology note at the bottom of the part for you. As Michael said, it's what crass Americans say when they swear. "I'm not swearing, I'm speaking French." :rolleyes:

Where would be the fun in that? Anyway, I doubt Clark would have mourned as much.

CLARK: I was ENGAGED to Lana.

EW: And?

CLARK: <sheepish shrugs> Okay, you might be right.

Barbie, as in doll.


CLARK: But... She displayed all the traits of a rape victim. She stopped partying, she stopped dressing sexy, even to the point of wearing baggy clothes. She cut her hair. She wouldn't have done that, would she? Would she have?

Americans also think the French language is the language of love and romance, and that nothing is sexier than a French accent (Why Claude had such an easy time with Lois). We think French cooking the best food in the world, so much so, we add the word "French" in front of foods that may, or may not, have originated in France just to make it sound more exotic and fancy (French Fries, French Dressing, French Toast). We're a weird mish-mash of ideas, aren't we?

And when we don't understand something we say "It's all Greek to me." Does that mean that we think that the Greeks are smarter than us, because *they* can speak (and understand) Greek?

"It's all Greek to me" was used by Shakespear, so it is not particularly American.

Really? I didn't know that. Learn something new everyday!

We use the same words (translated in French) when we don't understand something. I find it very funny.... because I teach Greek (ancient Greek)!


I don't know what is "French Dressing"....

I never went to the US, but a few years ago, I went to Australia and, in the restaurant of my hotel, for breakfast, I saw something called "French Toast". I didn't know what it was and I immediately wanted to taste it. It's something that in France we call "pain perdu": something you eat at home when you don't want to waste old pieces of bread! Not something fancy.
So, 10 years ago, you couldn't find it in a restaurant. Now, I think you can.... for tourists!

And you know, Americans sometimes use French words in their language: for example "déjà vu". And I'm sure I've seen other ones, on these boards.

And I'm a Greek Classics Major. We, Americans, like our breakfasts! I didn't say it *was* fancy, but that adding the word "French" to it made it *sound* fancy.

Yes, there are many French originated words in the English language, most of which I have to spell check, because I'm constantly misspelling them. faux pas, rendezvous, derrière. Of course, this means nothing, because I often misspell words in English as well.

Good choice, Virginia!


Ketchup? With salad? Certainly not a French dish!

No problem, Virginia. I'll write in English. Or at least, I'll try to: sorry for the mistakes.

And speaking of mistakes, the funniest mistake I ever saw was in the French translation of the show L&C.

The first time I saw it, it was on French TV. So, it was in French, not with subtitles,but with the actors speaking French (do you use the word "doublage"?).

In Soul Mates (I think), Lois speaks about the black teddy Clark bought her. The translator was certainly tired, VERY tired because we sometimes use the English word "teddy" fot this sort of lingerie. And he translated it with the word "nounours".... and this word means "teddy bear"!

So, I thought that it was the black and white teddy bear that Clark won for Lois in Smallville. Sure, I was a little surprised: why did Lois want this teddy bear for her wedding night. It was cute, but....

And I forgot all about that ... until a few years ago, when I finally understood the meaning of the word, because of some fics on the Archive and on these boards...

In Portuguese was made this same mistake. I just found out when I got to read the scripts. It didn't make sense that Lois would want a teddy bear in her honeymoon, but it was what aired.

At least we're not alone in the mistakes department.
