Is anyone going to write that now, or do I have to do it? Too bad that Becca cannot be the one... That would have pushed the relationship between her and Lois to a whole new level. 
It's never too dark to be cool.

Well, as a matter of fact, I started on it. I just don't know whether it is any good. Want a peek?

Here's where I was going. If you really start to think about Lois "having an affair" with Superman (even though that's not possible since she's married to him, yet is she, since she's really married to Clark, you start to see Clark's problem with referring to himself in the third person) or even as someone mentioned, somebody thinking Clark and Lois were each having an affair with Superman, you end up with Clark having an affair with his other "person", which, besides being twisted, gives you a Me, Myself, and Irene kind of situation.  The way you have written this is SO funny… I actually read a story (I think at Anne’s Place) where Lois has an affair with Clark AND Superman - at the same time. Not exactly the same, but your description reminded me of the ‘menage a tres’. (Sorry, don’t know if I spelled that right or not.) Well, you have to wonder if something isn’t / hasn’t already happened to us. I don’t think time travel per se is possible (at least at this point), but Einstein’s theory of time being a loop is a darn good one… Well, as a matter of fact, I started on it. I just don't know whether it is any good. Want a peek? Me, me! I wanna peak (you know I do). Are you doing time travel or the daughter having a crush?

I think it's actually menage a trois. As for the Clark/Superman affair idea, you have to see why Clark laughs so much in those stories where Lois jumps to that conclusion. IF Clark were to have an affair with himself, he might ahve to kiss himself, which I believe to be impossible, though if someone wants to try, they can. But knowing what the viewer knows, that just is twisted. Actually that made me think of a weird story idea. What if Clark got complete amnesia, learned that he was close to Superman, and somehow got wondering what kind of relationship he had with Superman, if you know what I mean? Maybe he finds something in his apartment that makes him think they're closer than anyone knows? That could get interesting. No peek:__ Peek:
I think, therefore, I get bananas.
When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.
What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?
I don't know and I don't care one way or the other.

Not exactly the same, but your description reminded me of the ‘menage a tres’. (Sorry, don’t know if I spelled that right or not.) It's menage à trois, Nancy.  As for the subject of time travel--I like how in the show, there seemed to be an unspoken/unwritten rule that they could only go back in time once. Either Herb or Lois or Clark or SOMEBODY was always saying "We haven't got much time!" in those episodes where time travel was a staple. And they always managed to fix things the first time around anyway. I think, though, that unless the paradox cancelled the time traveler him/herself out, or it cancelled the reason for the time traveler to travel, then the universe would make sure that the time traveler went back in time to do what he/she wuold do so that events could precipitate so that back in the time traveler's own time he/she would then be prompted to go back in time to fix that same thing in one of those "self-fulfilling prophecy"-type things. What I like to call a GOOD paradox.

It's menage à trois, Nancy. Do I dare...? mmm.... Ménage à trois. with an accented e. Couldn't help myself, this is the only one subject where I actually have the right answers. Any other and I'm convinced all of you guys know more about it than I do.  Hey, Mellie - I want a peek at that, too!!

Batman: Clark, what the hell are good villains?

All in favor of a peek, raise your right Graemlin! Mellie sent me a peak. It’s good!! Ménage à trois. with an accented e. Okay… I thought ménage à trois was strictly a play on words for the Star Trek: The Next Gen ep: Ménage A Troi... as in Deanna Troi. Could be why I got it wrong… But then until I just looked it up, I thought her name was Trois... so something was clicking there.... Actually that made me think of a weird story idea. What if Clark got complete amnesia, learned that he was close to Superman, and somehow got wondering what kind of relationship he had with Superman I like how in the show, there seemed to be an unspoken/unwritten rule that they could only go back in time once. Really? Hmm… I never picked that up.

Ménage à trois. with an accented e. Thanks, Lara. I couldn't remember whether that accent was supposed to be there or not, so I left it off.

They were constantly saying "We haven't got much time!" You'd think that, if they had a time machine, and something got screwed up, they could just go back and try to fix it all over again. But that would put in another paradox. What was the topic of this thread again?

hehehe! Mellie, you've got a bit of the evils in you.  Great job with that "peek!"
