But I was totally expecting this not to surprise you at all - because I thought you knew it was coming. Hmmm... I don’t remember if you told me about the possible Tank Ending or not. Bad memory... <Giggles> Hmmm.... But now that I think about it more, I do have this vague recollection of you mentioning a Tank Ending. Hmmm.... Well, it must have worked because look at all this feedback you've gotten. Oh, and I wasn’t upset - just very surprised. But I did put a note! Shortly after posting it (and seeing the panicky fdk) I went back and added "NOT" to the end -- The End...NOT! <shrug> I guess I must have been in dense mode then because I just read it as there would eventually be another story coming - not that this wasn’t actually the end. When I read in the FDK thread that it really wasn’t the end, I was so relieved! I am fascinated by the way TANK has become a Genre in herself ... Hehe... Tank might take exception to being called a her. (But how would you know if you hadn’t actually seen that somewhere. Interesting though how we sometimes see people.) DJ, you made me swear, outloud (there were no witnesses, thank goodness), but you made me swear! NO! James swore? I’m devastated...

![[Linked Image]](http://bffc.net/icons2/hide.gif) How long has it been since I've left feedback? I've been horrible about it. I'm still here and loving this story, though! That was so, so evil! This better get fixed, and it better get fixed quick! I'll be waiting Jessi

I am fascinated by the way TANK has become a Genre in herself ... Were you in confusion as to the gender of Tank, or the gender of a genre, which would probably be itself? But, yeah, Tank is a guy, and undoubtedly deserves his own genre. Just checked, and nowhere in the profile does it ask for gender, so you could fool everyone if you wanted to.
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.

Laura said: I was getting more and more frantic as I read, watching the scroll bar get smaller and smaller as I read down the page That's exactly what I was doing! I read this part after the 'not' was added, but if I had read it before, I don't think I would have been mad, just confused, because I have a hard time imagining either of you ending a story that way. So I'm very glad this isn't the end and that we have one more part coming. I'm looking forward to it!

Lois: You know, I have a funny feeling that you didn't tell me your biggest secret.
Clark: Well, just to put your little mind at ease, Lois, you're right.

Have been lurking and reading all parts of the story. Just wanted to pop in and say, "WOW!" Actually, I didn't catch part 23 before the "NOT" was added, so I realized it was not the end, but you left me a little worried there for a while. Now I want to know how (or if) Lois will get her memories back. Or maybe she is just temporarily blocking them due to being electrocuted (the brain would take a while to recover)? As a sidenote, but I did see the other one out at the same time (cannot remember title now but had Kate Blanchet and Jim Carey)... wasn't that "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", with Kate Winslet? It came out in 2004. malu

I wonder what other rumors I could start about DJ? Did you know that she's expecting? Yeah, neither did she.  Sue (on-call tonight and currently sitting at her desk as she watches the server slowly circle the drain while she waits for the &*%^$ vendor to call her back)

It's the first male pregnancy. Oh my! (Who's the father/mother?)
This would have been cool on April Fool's

OH wait,... what would it be called... the BEETHOVEN?
LOL

I do hope this part was inked, typed, whatever, before I made that comment about making Lois forget Clark.  Can't wait for part 24.

<DJ stumbles into the thread feeling a bit of identity crisis...> Now let's see... did DJ stand for Donna Jane? Or maybe that was Donald James??? ACK! No one was supposed to know about that pregnancy! Now I'll be dissected like a frog... ROTFLOL!!!! ............ <DJ pauses for a moment and laughs some more...> You guys are hilarious! It seems while I was off in the land of the sandman last night that you all were in here having a party without me! <DJ checks thread again... eyes almost bug out of her head...> HOLY FREAKIN HECK!!! This thread is 2 pages long!!!! <DJ does happy dance> I've never had a fdk thread that went 2 pages long before!!! Heh.... Maybe I should shock and disturb you guys more often... ACK! I'm kidding! Kidding I say! Put down those pitchforks. Sheesh! But wow, seriously, I'm basking in the afterglow here.  Okay, okay, back to the reason I came in here - to answer fdk! Hi Jessi! I've missed you! I'm so glad you came to leave fdk this time. <g> Yes, it was evil. And yes, I will fix it soon. I plan to fix it sometime today. <g> Hah, Woody, yes... you can fool everyone if you wanted to... obviously <snort>. Hi Symbolic! Eeeek! You brought out the heavy guns! You sent a graemlin after me - eeeek! It's coming soon! Hi Lisa! I was missing you! I'm so glad you know us both well enough by now to realize we wouldn't have ended a story like that.... especially not that abruptly. <g> Thank you!!! Ahhhh... and I see this is where things went horribly, horribly wrong... <snort> SUE! You aren't supposed to be telling them my secrets!!! :p LOL! But I have to say, that was pretty freakin hilarious.  Hi Malu! I'm so glad you decided to delurk! Yay! You will find out very, very soon, just what exactly was going on. <g> And yes, I think that was the movie. <g> LOL! Oh Woody. <snort> Too funny. Sue! Ack! <DJ runs into the bath to do a quick pregnancy test... five minutes later...> Phew! You scared me there for a second <snort> Don't DO THAT! LOL! Sorry you had to go into work last night at like midnight! That sucks! But glad you seemed to be enjoying yourself <snort>. Oh no! Jen! Don't you dare suggest someone start a congratulations thread! Eeep! <Something tells DJ she should check the off top forum when she gets out of here...> <DJ dances again as she clicks "page 2"...> Woody! LOL <snort!> Ha ha ha! Yes, it would have been a cool one... maybe next year <g> Hi Beethoven! Oh, don't apologize at all... this has been hilarious! Hee hee... Hi Sammy! Yes, this part had actually been inked (in the form of an outline with blurbs and indecipherable chicken scratching...) since almost the beginning of the story. <g> Thanks! And part 24 is coming soon. WOW! Thank you for the additional comments everyone! And for the party in my thread!!! LOL! What a fun way to wake up in the morning! WOW! Part 24 will be up soon! <DJ staggers out of the thread still laughing and still in shock...>

 New genre: the METROPOLITAN (my Darling Jeep) RODEO Roller-Coaster... come ride the newest, fastest, meanest Roller-coaster in Metropolis... As the adds say: Sit in your Jeep-cherokee and enjoy the finest things metropolis has to offer, including " * twisting and turning through our Tunnel of LOVE, * death-defying drops, and ghoulish ghost-trains filled with villainous vampires THEN * when you least expect it.... the M(DJ)R appears to return to the Tunnel of Love- but in actuality...approaches the Hobbs River-Rapids Ride, the tracks actually run into the water (getting us all wet with angry blood, sweat, and tears) as we are soaked in TANK-water (which tank? you may ask... septic or rain water?.... that is up to your interpretation of what TANK water is) Until when we are about to give up holding our breath from fear of drowning in the TANK-water, THE M(DJ)R roller-coaster brings us once again up the banks of the river and through a shower of (something as of yet not judged as it is undetermined) back through the tunnel of love and finishing up clean and dry, basking in sunshine glittering in a warm glow off the Globe outside of the Daily-Plannet a.k.a. the PSEUDO-TANK.... Shorter Definition: One wild ride through literature, where the reader is thrilled to bits as they are given a twist in the tail before the tunnel-of-love turns into the UNEXPECTED Ghost-Train and then back into the Tunnel-of-love

For the last 10 years, I spend about 4 days a month, watching the pixels dance on my screen, telling me that yet another report actually finished processing and was being downloaded to the server. Oh, Joy! James

And was the line that did it... She connected with it and it popped up out of his hand... only to be caught by the other one. DANG! Whoops, sorry, it slipped out again ... James
