cool, i get to start 2 caption threads in a row! otoh, this is captions, chapter 11. is this one going to be bankrupt? hope not. here's the new pic. it's a classic. (and, btw, the pilot is, imo, a gold mine of possible caption pics) see what you can do with it. have fun. Paul

Lois: Okay, well, I'll admit it, this is a lot of fun. But I still don't think Perry installing a trampoline in the newsroom is quite what those speakers at the 'Motivate Your People' conference meant!
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly. Aramis: Yes, sorry. Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Staffer #1: "How long have they been like that?"
Cat: "An hour, maybe two."
Staffer #2: "Are they stuck?"
Cat: "Looks like it."
Jimmy: "Should we call the fire department or something?"
Cat: "I'm torn..."

well, it's been a while. captions have been slower on this pic than i'd hoped. oh well. maybe it just wasn't a good one. in any case, time to pick. despite my usual efforts to not go with the person who just went, something about this one just hits the right button: Staffer #1: "How long have they been like that?"
Cat: "An hour, maybe two."
Staffer #2: "Are they stuck?"
Cat: "Looks like it."
Jimmy: "Should we call the fire department or something?"
Cat: "I'm torn..." so, i'm going to have to go with lncroxmysox. you're up! Paul

Slow, maybe, but they all made me laugh this last time around. Very clever ones, guys! Ok thanks to the inside information regarding that screencaps-galore website, I've found a picture that amuses me much. Have funnnn... Oh yeah, and I seriously hate this episode. But all feelings aside... Oh and PLEASE let me know if I'm running one that's already been done. I went back and looked at a lot of the older posts, but I'm still paranoid. Ems

okay, i shouldn't get political, but this looks like a press conference, and i can't help it... "do not doubt me. i am going to win this election. i starred in 'total recall.' think about it. besides, look... my muscles are bigger than superman's. watch as i flex for you. you see? next to me, superman looks puny. when i am governor, i will use these muscles to crush the bad things like the pollution and the crime and the traffic." (that's all i've got for now. if i think of more... i'll be back. ) Paul

(Reporter framed by L&C's heads) This is not my good profile!
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Ohhh this was tough, but I'm going to have to go with this one... Originally posted by WandaDetroit: [Looking up at a news ticker which proclaims: "Poll results are in: BATMAN is America's Favorite Superhero!"]
Clark: "Grr!" Lois: "There must be some mistake..." Clark really does look like he should be growling here, doesn't he? Hehe. Okay, your turn, Wanda...

YAAAYYYY! Go for it, guys... This one cracked me up! I hope no one's done this before. If so, let me know--I've got more where that came from!! -Wanda Edit: I didn't edit the post; I simply resized the pic. Elena And to give credit where it's due, the original screenshot can be found on this site .

yes, that is a nice costume you have there. the thing is -- and i want to make sure you really think about this -- just because you have a nice costume, it doesn't mean you can fly. so, i'll carry you down nice and easy, and you promise you won't try to fly anymore, okay? ... whew. bad enough when kids do that, but he looked old enough to be my dad!
---
how do i hide the boots? oh, i just take them in my hands like this and use my super strength to compress them into tiny little balls. then, when i need to change back, i just streach them out again. sure, i go through boots fairly quickly, but i don't see that there's a better way, really...
---
how do you get a 900 number? you just have to call the phony company and register it. the important thing is to shop around. sure, the customer pays for the call, but you still have to pay to have the line. go to the wrong phone company, and you'll get a bill this big! ... say, what do you need a 900 number for, anyway?
---
so you ran into lois lane, huh? well, let me tell you... the key to surviving an encouter with lois is to know when to be amused. when she's just babbeling along, learn to find that funny. but, and i cannot stress this enough, when she is ranting at you -- not just babbeling, but outright angry -- don't laugh. no matter what it is, don't laugh. i don't care if your skin is as invulnerable as mine. lois gets angry, the best thing to do is to fly out of there as fast as you can.
---
you're an orphan? really? and the people who raised you never explained...? oh, foster care. they all assumed someone else had told you. okay, well, here's how it works. when a man and a woman love each other very much...
---
well, the key to it is... you've got to learn to trust your invulnerability. every part of you is invulnerable. that includes the eyes. so, even if you're flying at supersonic speed -- actually, especially then -- you have to remember that you don't have to blink.
---
"... so, if you've x-rayed the bomb and you still can't see how to disarm it, the next thing to try is freeze breath. sometimes, that will slow down the timer, and it'll even stablize some explosives enough that they won't detonate. if that doesn't work, just remember this one basic rule of bomb defusing -- if all else fails, eat it."
"you can do that?"
"yeah, sure. just pretend it's a spicey meatball or a tasty hoagie or something. oh, yeah... that reminds me. they actually don't taste that good. so, after it explodes, get something better to eat. i suggest ice cream. nothing gets rid of the taste of that annoying smokey c4 aftertaste like a nice banana split."
---
... so then you use your heat vision to cut the door's control wires. you getting this so far? ... good. so, now the door's open. first thing you have to do is use your freeze breath. that will confuse the heat sensors on the missiles. then you can dash past them through the blue archway, and that takes you to the level four boss. he pretty much goes down like the last two, and when you beat him, you get the second half of the red key...
