Wow, more FDK! That must mean you're on vacation.

Does that mean we'll get more parts of the Man who would be King?
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/s045.gif)
I actually have to work on the one for which I bid on Corrina’s beta skills. Umm…have to get started on that one, actually…

(I saw it only had 2 in the TOC and you mentioned unposted parts).

Definitely only after it’s done. /looks for mojo-at-home assembly kit/
Perhaps I should have mentioned that this was also pre-S1.
Oh.

I feel like I'm taking three steps back for every step forward on that one.
ANOTHER LOIS: I *knew* it! I *knew* there was madness to the method.
It could have been worse. She could have been wearing an anti-Superman pin.
MAYSON:
Quote:
He looks good enough to score on the first date?
LOIS: Yes.
CLARK: Thank you, but that's not what I was thinking.
LOIS: So, he’s flattered but won’t go for it? Darn. Another gay one.
Ever since that visit to Gotham and me getting res- erm helped out by that black man in tights, who’s so obviously gay, all I do is attract gay men.
So, in this dimension Bruce Wayne isn't a multi-millionaire CEO Philanthropist but a human rights lawyer.
BRUCE: Nobody would suspect a lawyer to be a hero.
DAREDEVIL: wave
Well…Bruce could have done an undercover stint in Nepal and didn’t want to tell his reporter friend that he’s really Bruce Wayne?
BRUCE: And they think having *one* secret identity is hard to maintain.
Exactly. They trade that for 3 squares a day, a roof over their head, and a mat on the floor.
REFUGEE: Paradise!
Well that was a switch from hot to cold quickly, Lois.
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/e045.gif)
Is the EW suggesting something?
ER: No, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the current moon phase.
LOIS: No, I can handle it. Just jump in if it decides to go off, will ya?
But she doesn't like his human side.
CLARK: Not perfect.
Quote:
LOIS: wave
CLARK: Yes, she'll do.
LOIS: Do? mad Do what?! You? Never!
CLARK: <confused at his frigid, non-perfect girlfriend>
Maybe he should show her a photo of himself in just a towel?
LOIS: We're in Metropolis. In the city, us civilized people use sheets. And that's not why I came.
Umm…a…umm…
Who said that there were two dates? Did I say that? No, I don't think that was written anywhere.
Oh no you don’t! You stated perfectly ambiguously that Clark/Lois where wearing the red carnations. This could not have been a continuity mistake. Not from an EW routinely jumping around dimensions and times and not losing her breakfast along the way.
PREGNANT LOIS: No, that breakfast would be mine.
Quote:
By following him and planting bugs in his apartment, like any normal person would do?
LOIS: That's the second date.
So this is the interrogation equivalent first, second, and third degree to the dating-scheme of getting to first, second, and third base?
Let’s see…
First date is first degree is verbal interrogation.
Second date is second degree is intensive observation.
Third date is third degree is manually enhanced interrogation.
Fourth date is fourth degree is execution of the convicted.
Quote:
Hmm… so, it really was Lois who was set up with Clark?
They both can't be set up?
ACKBAR: It’s a trap!
To start with.
LOIS: Sometimes, I finish with it just to keep things fresh.
In case he gets fresh but isn’t looking too dangerous so she can take her time with the incapacitation?
Quote:
Huh. Her original date already left?
So, you doubt that Lois and Clark could actually be set up together?
There’s reasonable doubt.
Lois's POV. The Source most likely said that he had discovered that he had been wrong.
LOIS: Potahto. Tomahto.
Oh. Duh!
HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER: No, Clark, I didn't say JUST come in with a red carnation.
What if the HRL was actually female? What’s Batgirl’s occupation again?
Why would Lex have a human rights lawyer?
Alibi? So he has someone who can explain to the judges how it’s okay to keep his overseas-workforce in their pens like he does?
Quote:
Maybe some string tied to his foot?
So, he shouldn't have worn the loafers?
CLARK: But they make me think I’m walking on air!
CLARK: They also said you were nice!
HRL:
That blonde bombshell took me to her cabin in the woods on our second date!
Bruce Wayne buys Daily Planet and hires Clark Kent to keep Lois out of Gotham City.
Quote:
Maybe if he put out first?
CLARK: Say, what?
MARTHA: So, honey, did you get the job?
CLARK: I'm working at the Daily Planet, and I don't want to talk about it.
Quote:
Did he just offer to recompense her for her time during an amorous outing?
He said that he owed her a favor, not vice versa.
No, actually, she provided an amorous service to him, and Clark stated that he now owns her compensation. That it’s a favor and paid after the fact only means that Lois isn’t very experienced (yet) in that line of work.
CLARK: She brought it up first.
But she can also bring him down with one knee-jerk reaction.
CLARK:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/frech/g025.gif)
LOIS: Clark, what do you think of my new shiny green ankle bracelet? I bought it on a recent trip to Smallville when I did an expose on weed-farming that is apparently going on in the Midwest.
JOKER: /points at Batman/ If that's not what happened to him, then the jokes on me.
CLARK: I can't win, can I?
CAT: You can take me for a spin, big man.
CLARK: That would be a ‘no’ then.
CAT:
Quote:
Because she second-screened him during their first date?
She did it under the table so it wasn't overt.
Yes, but what if Clark had done it?
LOIS: That’s what filled-up wine glasses are for.
Quote:
ER: /no comprehendo/ A *politician*? Next he’ll believe an armed robber that he’s just doing a charity collection at the bank foyer.
CLARK: That's what the Invisible Man told me, Officer.
LOIS: Perry! I want a new partner. Someone a bit more experienced.
RALPH:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/g042.gif)
LOIS: Sure, D.A. Clemmons. I'm not buying that.
CLARK: But, Lois...
LOIS: Give me a break, Clark.
Quote:
Traditional ones with locusts inside?
Say what?! shock
WAITER: No comment.
Yep. I can’t re-find it right now, but there’s quite a different palate in Easter Asia to what we are used to. Colleague of mine went on an South-China tour once and got to taste fried spider legs.
CLARK: Change in temperatures never really bother me.
LOIS: <happy her man can keep up with her mood swings>
Yeah, he’s a keeper.
RALPH: Door mat.
CLARK: Hey, at least I get some!
LOIS:
CLARK: Okay, maybe not tonight, but still…
Quote:
That’s our Lois. Always ready to bite off more than she can chew.
CLAKR: I’m pretty tough, so…
No biting?
No, more fun during the chewing?
LOIS: I wouldn't date Ralph. Actually, I don't date usually.
LUCY: Yeah. She interviews.
LEX: /Still
but nobody's paying attention/
Apparently American women (in general) aren't as promiscuous as they are portrayed in movies and television.
CLARK: So, according to that morning talk show I accidently watched, Lois Lane isn’t dating anyone. Even her best friend Linda calls her frigid. Now, if even that is an exaggeration, does that mean I will not have to worry about giving her the curse? Ever?
Yes, but the optimist in him says calling her opened minded is more likely to get that result that calling her the opposite.
He thinking that you catch more Loises with chocolate than with Lex?
Not a lie.
Did he say he was human? No, just male.
Hence the ‘not’
CLARK: Well, no, but if I kill her off on the first date there won't be a second date.
LEX: Yes, I often serve Fugu at the end of a date.
JAPANESE CHAP: Uncultured white guy…
So, SHE should have gone out with Mayson. rotflol What if Clark had been set up with Dan and Lois with Mayson.
BRUCE: What? I always thought how you ran away from every skirt that looked your way…?
LUCY: She really doesn’t like men.
LOIS: I don't usually attend church, but I think if I can go in a war zone I could handle one day at church.
CLARK: Um...
Did she just accept? Maybe Clark should hurry up to close the deal?
Quote:
I think she’d be mad if he told her on their first anniverasy.
First dating anniversary.
So, Lois wouldn’t be mad that she has to wait about three years until she finally gets to consummate her marriage with Clark?
LOIS: If Canon-Lois could wait three years, I can, too! Now, where’s the chocolate
LOIS: My mother told me that if I don't have sex for 3 years, I'll become a virgin again.
SAM: Ellen! That's not factually correct.
I always find it funny that you're predictions are accurate and you don't notice it.
I don’t want to presume and like to keep my options open in case the road traveled is not the most obvious one? Or the second most obvious one. Or the third… no, it’s usually one of the first two ten times out of eleven (sic)
Now, the gender-bender setup, that I might have made a joke about but never expected
In this story. In a romcom setup dating story, OTOH,
LOIS: I would have stopped him after the first one, so it wouldn't have been so awkward.
CLARK: Not until she told Dan to leave her apartment at once.
Quote:
See? Also, once he has a job in Metropolis, does that by default also make him the best investigative journalist in Metropolis?
LOIS: No.
That’s an…interesting logic.
JIMMY: Hey, Lois, look at this. /holds up DAILY PLANET CLASSIFIEDS/ "Single male hero looking for a woman to mend his heart. Lawyers, please don't apply." Oh, never mind. He wants someone who isn't likely to explode.
LOIS: This won't work. Your grammar is atrocious. Hey, I just realized. You're perfect for the Met Star. Have a nice life.
Interesting. I always thought Lois was the one without a clue for spelling or proper structure (e.g. “The FBI said” instead of “An FBI spokesman” – LOIS: Spokeswoman! – “whatever… said”).
CLARK: Awkward isn't the right word.
LOIS: Pulitzer worthy?
PERRY: Not if you sleep with the subject to get the story, Lois.
LOIS: Drat!
So, Perry would make sure she wouldn’t get recognition for exposing her boyfriend’s secrets? Is that the reason she flunked out of the Lex Luthor investigation?
