I think you're a little strange. Not that being strange is bad, you understand. "HEY KOOL AID!" indeed. A video of Kool-Aid coming through the wall.

 This has got to be both the funniest and the most bizarre L&C crossover I have ever read. Thanks for making the start of my day as bright as a certain beverage. Joy, Lynn

I shouldn't have read this while drinking, 'cause now I have to wipe water off my monitor and keyboard. That was hilarious!

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.

  Totally unexpected. What a follow-up to Homecoming, Shayne! Yes, explaining this to Lois would be a conversation worth hearing.

Oh my! That is the funniest vignette I've read in a long time. Thank you, Shayne!
But why does Clark have to be the one to explain to Lois what happened? Wouldn't it be obvious? Lex Luthor is not the law-abiding citizen that he portrayed. He broke the law and paid the ultimate price.
Brava!

The monster stared down at him confused. Emil Hamilton had tried cloning Superman using a solution of his DNA mixed with simple sugars and other chemicals to provide food for the process. Something had gone wrong, and he’d been forced to place the resulting mass of red sentient goop in a practically indestructible container.
A janitor had drawn a simple face on the container, and the creature had been able to force pseudopods out in several places, which it used to propel itself through Metropolis.
No one knew where it had gotten its love of breaking through walls; some commentators had joked that it must be genetic. The only being in Metropolis that caused nearly as much wall damage was its genetic donor, Superman.
It must have imprinted on the first television commercial it saw; no one could understand why it would use super hearing to respond to that call, and only that call. GUFFAW! ROTFL! :):):) This is the best explanation ever for that weird mutant large pitcher of Kool-Aid. Although perhaps the mutant was in Berlin: ![[Linked Image]](http://evilsquirrelsnest.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/berlin-wall.jpg)

LOL! Too funny!

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

This was brilliant! It was both original and funny. I loved this line: Lex paled a moment before the wall behind him exploded. Lex must have known what was coming.  Bob

Of all of the ways I have imagined Lex getting killed, this one never occurred to me . Probably because I had blocked those silly commercials from my mind so thoroughly that I had to really think for a while before I got the premise and I am definitely old enough to have lived through the commercials...

Hi Shayne! Gasping, Clark tried to crawl away from the green glow from the bars. Weakness sapped his strength even as his skin felt like it was on fire. Ooooh! HoL Arc “You’ll never get out of that cage. I’ll close this room off forever as Lois and I begin our new life together.” Read too much Poe, did he? “HEY, KOOL AID!” he shouted, with all the strength he could muster.
Lex paled a moment before the wall behind him exploded.
“OH YEAH!”  Did he get a Jimmy sidekick? A janitor had drawn a simple face on the container, and the creature had been able to force pseudopods out in several places, which it used to propel itself through Metropolis.  No one knew where it had gotten its love of breaking through walls; some commentators had joked that it must be genetic. The only being in Metropolis that caused nearly as much wall damage was its genetic donor, Superman. It had never uttered a single word other than its catchphrase, and it was now illegal to play Kool Aid commercials within a two hundred mile radius of Metropolis. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d050.gif) In Metropolis, yelling “Hey Kool Aid” was considered legally the same as yelling fire in a crowded theater. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d020.gif) Explaining all this to Lois was going to be a nightmare.
He felt strangely thirsty.  That was psychedelic  Michael EDIT: Thanks for the link to the commercial. Now I get the cultural references, too.
