You got me! You got me good! He's never going to get it back.

LOL! I love how you got Jimmy. I figured you wouldn't maim poor Lois, you're not *that* evil. Ah, to have a servant for life! hehe

Ooooooohhhh! Halloween Tank Treat!

So, *that's* where the Ice Queen comes from!

/imagines Jimmy imagining Lois in a painted on, open back halter top and a belt shirt dancing off in a halflit disco before taking one or two strangers home.

And on second read, of course. And not just because it's necessary for a happy ending! It is a *Tank* fic, so the joke *must* be on Jimmy! And wouldn't it be fun, if they paid the LL copy from Madame Ex to sleep with Jimmy and then have Lois tell him she's pregnant with his love child?

/pops popcorn, just about now.

Good props. Right? Right?

Uuuuuuuuuhhhhhh

I can just hear it and see it, Lois peeking up at him through one open eye.



Only thought? Nooooo!

/Expects Lois to pull off a wig. Despite this being a Tank fic and all.

Uuuuuuh, boy. So, now she and C.K. and get on to making little ones, since they have a free babysitter for life?



It's a gift that gives on giving. Hope Perry don't mind his slave getting misappropriated.

/whispers/ It's what we call a Tank ending around these parts.

Thanks for the great fun, Tank!

Yes, Michael, but wouldn't it be so Tank to Tank his own ending and surprise everyone by having Lois die and Jimmy have to live with the guilt? (And possible a criminal sentance for inadvertantly setting it up?) Especially in a Halloween fic? And poor Lois only getting a partial haircut?

Umm... no, I guess I should have pruned the quote a bit more. Lois ending up with both hands MIA, that's the Tank Ending. Lois ending up with both hands still attached, that's the cute ending

Michael

This was so much fun! Thanks the Halloween gift.

Awesome fun! Thanks for the Halloween treat, Tank.

I love to see Lois Lane not just taking risks, but doing her homework. She wouldn't be the best reporter in Metropolis if she didn't.

It's pretty sad when someone goes ahead and answers his own challenge, but I just couldn't resist.

Thanks to all who visited this little fic. Hope I caught a few of you.

I knew there might be a bit of 'conflict' with Lois' internal dialog during the 'set-up' of the final punchling, but I was going to dismiss it as Lois being method in her acting. After all I did need to try and fool not only Jimmy, but the gentle readers also. But Michael did point out one line that was specifically contrary so I removed it.

Thanks again for all the kind words.

Tank (who has an opinion of Halloween similar to Lois'... not a fan)

"Hope I caught a few of you."

You caught me, Tank. With any other author, I would have thought, "No, he won't really do that; there must be a twist coming." But with you, I thought, "You know, he might actually do it."

Jimmy, when will you learn? LOL!

Thanks for the laugh!

Haha! Loved it! I love Halloween pranks & being scared/scaring people! Great job on the turn-around!

I held out hope it might have been a set-up by Lois but you did scare me there!!

Good job!

That was hilarious! Love that Lois turned the tables on Jimmy. That'll teach him!
