Darth Michael: Hi Michael! Thank you for all the lovely chocolate... I mean comments.

Is that what they call sugar balls these days?
Um... only if you're that guy the Silver Surfer works for who eats planets.
…men like beer and scantily clad women and women like men who like beer and scantily clad women?
No, this is a different poll. I mean, yes they do, but THIS is a different poll.
And what about the other 30% who worked for Lex? Oh, right, they were in on it so they know better than to believe he got framed.
They're too upset about not getting severance to care.
But it makes the Star that much more entertaining to read.

Don't tell Perry!
Is that the one where they put the toxic material into?
No. That's by Clark's desk.
Lois saw a Fudge Castle open at 8 in the morning and Clark didn’t want to be late in the office?
I meant a different kind of emergency, but that works.
He’s going to have fun, being married.
Yes. But at least he'll have sex to go with all that fun.
“Is that my top reporter’s voice I hear?” boomed Perry, exiting from his office.
CLARK: Yes, Chief, I’m in the office.

Jimbo swiped the Met Star from Lois’s recycling bin, and slipped
The Star got a bit dirty in the bin.
I do believe that there was more to that sentence.
Maybe a ‘for’ after ‘him’?
Only if you want it to read clearly. Oh. I guess I do.
Thanks. Fixed.
So, now she’s mad because Clark *didn’t* help her with her investigation? He can’t win with her, can he?
LOIS: Not until he apologizes, he can’t.
CLARK: I could win beforehand?
And yet, wasn’t she all over the roses Lex sent to her desk during his courtship?
That would be "no". Roses mean "I've bought you for sex", so she had put them into the trash.
Oops? New computer and all data was solely on her old one?
Good thing she was able to take her laptop to space, then, huh?
And he also reviewed every file personally to make sure nothing got damaged, right?

Lois raised an eyebrow at the young man. “Did you read my novel?” she inquired by way of thanking him.
See?
So, too obvious of a joke? Tough!
“Wanda isn’t a shrew,” she muttered
ER: /Has an idea/ The Taming of the Shrew!
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/konfus/c085.gif)
Perhaps.
She sat down and removed a white generic mug from her briefcase with “Lois Lane” written on it in Courier font.
Huh.
You don't like Lois's new coffee mug? /I'm sure she had one laying around at her apartment somewhere./
He choked on an emerald after refusing to have sex with Wanda.
Actually, he was killed by a baby-hating man from the future, but that was another story.
Could they get email in space back in the early 90s?
She got a date with the Grim Reaper?
I believe that's pronounced "Grim Reapress".
Lois stood up and growled, “Do you know who I am?”
The woman glanced at her with little interest. “According to your mug, you’re Lois Lane. Have you developed amnesia?”
ER: /shocked that EW would have Cheryl commit suicide by reporter that way/
What? I thought it was funny.

And yet he decided to make it his favorite pastime.
CLARK: She looks hot when she’s angry.
He wasn't being intentional.
I wonder if Henderson will arrest Lois solely on the fact that a part of the mug that’s embedded in the head of the deceased Daily Planet employ has her name printed on the side.
HENDERSON: No, but I do have at least 5 witnesses. Strangely enough in a crowded newsroom with 50 people in it, only 5 people -- all new employees -- witnessed the event.
It really is a Superman mug. It can fly!
Is it wise to tell her that he knows the first name of the hot, new DP reporter?
LOIS: He's Superman. He knows the name of every person in the building whether he wants to or not.
“What did she do?”
He noticed her use of the past tense, which confused him a second until he realized what she meant.
ER: /confused/
In the Past Tense, since she obviously will no longer work in that position.
He knew Lois could be vindictive, but this was going to the extreme. “Lois,” he warned. “Let it go.”
ER: /still confused/
Does it make any more sense with my explanation or was I not obvious enough with what Lois meant?
“No. Others will learn not to cross me by her example,” Lois replied,
LEX: /knows that his little love muffin will wait for him while he arranges with his lawyers to have all the charges dropped/
I'm sure in some dimension somewhere, Lois and Lex lived happily ever after. Just not in any of my stories... well... not yet, at least.
LEX: She really adapts fast to being a business owner! /smile/ I want her back!
Would Lex ever admit to losing her?
Really? She’d get fired like *snaps finger* that.
Not if she was a really good passive aggressive.
I wonder if she should maybe talk to a shrink.
Well, Mayson did give her the name of a good one..
Nah! She was sooooo Another Lois.
You mean like saying that one could not only travel through time but also through space and that there are infinite universes out there? That kind of insanity?
HERB:
LOIS: I wonder if I can get Stern fired for this…
Since Stern OWNS the company, probably not. Unless she could prove it was a breech of their contract.
Oh my, is her paranoia kicking in again?
It depends on what you mean by paranoia.
So, Cat fight between Lex’s exes?
No. Cat is in Houston.
JIMMY: And there's no Jell-o.
Oooooh! Cat fight it is! /hyper/
No, not really. I wasn't in the mood.
LOIS: No, not really. I mean, "yes, Yes he did!"
Oh, *now* she’s been engaged to Lex?
Officially, she WAS his fiancee. Just not a very loyal one.
What…? What…? How…? But… Madame Ex…? Does this mean Clark will meet his new love interest before Part 200?
MAYSON: /wave/
Times, they are a changing...
But does it extend to the afterlife. Say, when the contract-holder gets clobbered to death by a Superman mug?
LOIS: Nah. She was fired. I feel better now.
I’m not sure this is a thing.
BENDER: I’m sure we can sue over this.
Uh-oh. Does that mean Ari isn't really gone?
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/e020.gif)
Gretchen’s going to revive a clone? /laugh/
Who said that the one in canon was the real deal? Maybe that's HOW they revived Lex, by cloning him.
Do I smell a hint of fresh pee in the air?
Well, since Lois has proven how easily she can get a person fired, perhaps.
So, Cheryl’s another spy of Lex’s?
Who knows?
To be fair, that might have been the one true thing that ever came out of his mouth.
Actually, in this story, Lex truly loved Ari. He just wanted more of a Brenda in the sack than an Ari.
Like seduce a super hero?
LOIS: Well, if he had just told me the truth from the get-go...
Won’t she be exhausted after strangling for more than 20 minutes?
Who says she didn't find any green rock shards in Smallville while she was there?
How's that for tying up A-Plot threads quickly?
/Michael dizzy/
I hope you've recovered by the time I post the next part.
