It would be nice to be pain free for awhile. /Yes, 2016, I'm eyeing you!/
ER: /There, there./
I'm Pain Free!
It's amazing what a little surgery can do (I'll spare you all the details). I'm back lifting heavy (for me) boxes and even my doctor said she doesn't want to see me for a year. Now, if I could just recall where I left my mind.
Thank you. I couldn't have been so long-winded without your encouragement.
ER: /has heard of guilt, knows he should probably feel guilty, but has decided to just Lois Lane it through the pain and denies it exists./
Don't worry, I'm sure there might be some lurkers out there who appreciate my inability to be concise.
(For some strange reason, my boss isn't pleased with my ability to be long winded. Strange, huh?)
SUPERMAN: Always. Just make sure you don't take any photos of me rescuing fashion models.
LOIS: Indeed. I did not see them wearing any…fashion on those photographs.
SUPERMAN: Apparently, the designers didn't want the models to leave the building with them on.
LOIS: The burning building?
SUPERMAN: /shrugs/ Creative types. Who can understand 'em?
EW: There's no smiling during an emergency then? Noted.
ER: I just figured. With death and mayhem abounding, it would be highly inappropriate to be in a chipper mood if you’re a superhero wearing tights.
BATMAN: What else would one wear? And I’m never chipper.
TONY STARK: /whistles innocently/ I don’t wear tights. And I’m always chipper.
So, it's the tights that gives one the dour disposition, then?
ER: Did she just come out to the newsroom?
EW: As a nice person? Or do you mean Clark did?
ER: As a couple.
JIMBO: /razz/
Yes, possibly. Also, why would this upset Jimbo?
EW: Actually, next part posts today. Dragons?... Wait, you weren't talking about my story were you? <behaves like Lois does when she sees Clark with a blonde> It's GoT season again, isn't it?
ER: Also, dragons are so cute while they’re still smaller than a fully grown T-Rex.
I wouldn't know. I've only just finished S2, Disc 2, people are still wandering around searching for each other. (And the dragons are babies).
EW: Is it a lie, if he doesn't know it's a lie?
OBI WAN: No.
LOIS: Yes.
CLARK:
We know who the final judge will be, now don't we?
CLARK: Superman says he pleads the 5th.
EW: Why do I suddenly see a hair shampoo commercial featuring Barry?
That would be great! Don't forget to check out Barry's new gig over yonder... (by groobie).
STORY: Glancing around, he didn’t see his favorite journalist as he paused in front of her desk.
ER: Cat? Did he forget she’s now in Houston?
EW: /agrees with that assessment/
LOIS: /does not agree/
ER: Oh but it is.
CLARK: I'm pleading the 5th again.
LOIS: He does that a lot.
LEX: Plus, I usually go with Lois as my daughter/paramour/2nd wife.
EW: Disturbing.
ER: It’s one of the alt-world fics out there.
Doesn't make it any less so when someone writes it.
LEX: Clearly, who she was before she married me is irrelevant.
ER: I think I know why so many of his relationships crash and burn.
Because he kills them?
ER: Our little raccoon is in the zone, huh?
EW: Is that a bad thing?
ER: No. Just funny and adorable.
CLARK: /sighs/ Yes, she excels in that.
CAT: You mean *I'm* the good girl in this story? /can’t believe this and now that she’s married, she can’t even top it. Outside her bedroom that is/
ER: She could try her living room and kitchen, though.
Cat's or Lois's?
CAT: I hope she doesn't do anything naughty in my living room or kitchen.
LOIS: Anyway, haven't other writers covered those rooms?
What? Lex knows how stinky the Met Star is. Do you think HE reads that paper?
ER: He might have a staffer mark up anything that requires follow up cut breaks?
Mrs Cox?
Except that Tempus has been wiped out of existence. Hmmm. Maybe it's time for a refresher course.
ER: What can I say? He’s handy. And once MLT wrote a story with Tempus being the main reason for their problems and yet, he wasn’t in the story at all. At least, till the very end.
Sounds like a good one. /eyes all the MLT I haven't had time to read since starting this epic and sighs/ Someday.
Yes, apparently all smart women have that problem. It's why so many of them fake being dumb.
LEX: What do you mean, ‘fake’?
Like they do when they’re in bed with him.
LEX: /confused/
Does he really care whether or not he pleased them?
LOIS: Well, he *did* think I really wanted to marry Luthor at one point.
ER: Wouldn’t that make her a gold digger instead of a whore? One could add the ‘slut’ if she still intended to have a Clark and a Superman on the side, though.
LOIS: Not a gold digger. I never intended to marry Luthor.
ER: Right. He might just start doing it to mess with them now.
JIMBO: /got a naughty idea on how to keep Lois alive for another 100 parts/
LOIS: /confused/
Yes, but how long would Jimbo last?
ER: And get birth control, huh?
EW: huh Because someone cloned Jimbo?
ER: No, because with a fake Jimmy, that’s it for Jimmy Interruptus and then Lois might end up in a situation that could get her preggers.
And that's not allowed?
CLARK:
Not yet.
No, but there's only one who's been called THE blonde, since Lois went into space.
LOIS: I'm NOT blonde!
ER: A bit selfcentered, aren’t we? Also, didn’t she use a blonde wig, too?
Oh, you mean at Cat's wedding. Yeah.
EW: Big Louie isn't bigger than THE Boss.
ER: He could be…
I believe we're using the word differently.
LOIS: Oh, no! Not that old nickname again.
ER: Well…now that the pregnancy is off, one does need a new pastime.
LOIS: So, either I have to be pregnant or a whore? No, that's not right. Someone call my agent!
