We've had a lot of fun with the corrupted wishes game, but it seems to be winding down, so I thought I'd see if people were up for another one. This one is taken from that most excellent radio show I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue -- "the antidote to panel games," as it describes itself. The idea is simple: players alternate statements beginning with "Good news" and "Bad news"; obviously, the statements have to be connected, making a sort of plot (connected to L&C, one would hope), and preferably funny. I'll give you an example: "Good news! Lex Luthor's dead." "Bad news: it was only one of his clones." "Good news: it was the last of his clones." "Bad news: he can make more." "Good news: he's run out of frogs and can't get any more of them." "Bad news: he's discovered how to use leeches instead." "Good news: leech-clones are easy to spot, because they're all covered in slime." "Bad news: that still means he can clone politicians." ...and so on. I think you get the idea. Up for it? Let's start right from the beginning, shall we? Good news: Perry White just made Lois and Clark partners.Over to you, FoLCs! Phil, who'd have suggested "Mornington Crescent", but the Infinite Crisis is warping the Metropolis Subway network again. Blasted reality shifts...

Good News: But it is only the result of a misunderstanding.

Bad news: Clark won't talk to Lois about the misunderstanding because he can't hear (let alone say) the words "Luthor," "wedding," and "love" in the same sentence.
Good news: I just saved a bunch of mone -- oops. Never mind. Not my turn.
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Good news: A lovely woman by the name of Mayson Drake happened along and has no trouble talking with Clark and taking his mind of Lois and Lex.  Ya know, I'm not sure if this qualifies as good news. But I think I'll leave it anyway. ~Kristen
Joey: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."
Rachel: Have I been living with him for too long, or did that all just make sense?

Good News: Lois spills the beans about Lex, and being the most eligible bachelor in Metropolis again since Lois is out of the picture, Lex is swarmed by guys who want to be with him. Since he is otherwise occupied, evil kryptonite master plan is off and Clark is free to be with Lois. Long, I know.  Sorry. ~Kristen
Joey: If he doesn't like you, then this is all just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah, it's like a cow's opinion, you know, it just doesn't matter. It's "moo."

Bad News: Luthor's favourite rare book shop just called -- they finally found a copy of that ancient Indo-Aryan tome 101 Things To Do With A Friendly Elephant Or An Elephant You'd Like To Become Friendly With (it's more succinct in Sanskrit). (I'm beginning to think this thread will need to go to the nfic folder.... ) Phil

Good News: Clark had Lois' elephant ram raid the shop and had the elephant chew the book up before giving it to Luthor so now all that's left is a tiny piece of the cover. Oh and did I also mention that Luthor can't read Sanskrit?

Bad news: Luthor got so depressed because of his confusion over his being gay and yet loving Lois that he killed himself and ruined our little soap opera. And there are no clones, he can't be bought back and he had no children as he was in his words "the only gay in Metropolis....."

(Wait, why is that bad news?)
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.

Bad News: Clark is suicidal with guilt now....
Good News: You get to "help" him trhough it.....
And an extra 10 points for the first person to tell me who DT is, and his first name, and prove that you didn't use the internet to find the answer, although any other means of research is fine. Just a small challenge for you all......
