Thanks for your patience.

That was easy. I found the FDK-FDK ready for when I woke up this morning
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
Apparently, kids expect their mom to spend time with them instead of writing during the winter holidays.
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
That’s what the giant heaps of presents are for?
![wink wink](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)
Again... no pressure there.

Firstly, yes, of paper. Secondly, Gfic boards, so no.
Also, why we only get descriptions of the photographs. That and it’s a written story anyway so, never mind
![wink wink](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/wink.gif)
Good thing you meant Batman, because it would be difficult for Clark not to know if Lois cheated on him with Superman.
CLARK: I keep my two personalities strictly separated.
Oh. Did I forget to mention it was set during the end of S1? Oooops.
![[Linked Image]](http://expert2.be/smilie/pix/tapfoot.gif)
Yes. Clark repeating Lois's words to him.
Maybe in italics?
To be fair, had he spoken the truth about *other* things, she might have listened to these truths as well. So, it’s kind of his own fault, isn’t it?
OBI WAN: From a certain point of view.
LOIS: /points at Luke/
LUKE: From a certain point of view?
![cat cat](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/cat.gif)
Clark likes a challenge. Also, he wanted me to let you know that he wasn't first-hand familiar with the concept of make-up sex.
CLARK: I did not say that! /Hopes to keep the image of being a very patient man. It has worked so well for Lex and Lois./
LANA: Let’s see…barn photos…
Let's just say, he's trying to avoid a certain topic of conversation.
CLARK: Lois's stupidity in her choice in men?
LOIS: I can’t be *that* stupid. I didn’t chose Clark, after all but I did chose Superman.
See? Even Clark thinks she’s sleeping herself to the top.
MINDY: My hero!
No. Clark thinks she's earned preferential treatment by her fiance`.
By sleeping with the Boss.
LEX: It’s much safer that way.
CLARK: True, if she's able to investigate, she might discover what a scumbag her fiance is.
LEX: Lois, my darling. I’m not trying to manage your office, but you should really reconsider that Kent fellow. He doesn’t seem to be able to grasp more than the obvious concepts.
I'm sure there can't be dog shows every week in Metropolis.
LOIS: No, there's also cat shows, car shows, boat shows, and graduations.
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
She isn't allowed to manage her boss.
LOIS: /makes a note for their first marriage counseling session/ Boss?
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
LOIS: Plus, I’ve now got my own stockpile of chocolate in my own office.
LEX: Susan, you're fired! My fiancee has gained 10 pounds since your hire!
Yes. That one
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
LOIS:

It’s unprofessional and Lois is nothing if not a professional.
PERRY: /thinks his former top reporter has sold out, too/
CLARK: See? Even Perry agrees that you’re exchanging sexual favors for personal gain.
NUNK: And I’ve got the classifieds ads from her college days to prove it!
LOIS: Let me see those! *Linda!*
LINDA: What? I signed them Lola Lane. Wouldn’t use my *own* name while making money.
Huh? Yes. Mood swings. She must be on drugs. /checks google/ Yep, she’s doing Meth, all right.
When would she have the time?
Well…given that Meth is a stimulant, she’d have the extra time to pop some now and then. They used it excessively during WWII.
It does, if she is engaged to a billionaire and the baby was conceived by an infamous superhero.
BRUCE WAYNE: I swear, if I catch her again with Batman, I’ll…I’ll…
SELINA: …marry me?
Why would Bruce Wayne marry Selina if Lois was pregnant with Batman's child?
![huh huh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/huh.gif)
To shift blame? No idea. Apparently, it worked better on paper.
ER: She wants the creep caught, not eviscerated?
EW: Well, then, she'd have to admit that that outcome was possible.
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
NUNK: With what I’m going to get from Lane for not sending those classifieds to her fiancé, I can retire in the Carribean.
EW: There's no photos in classifieds.
Different blackmail.
He does have Mrs. Cox for that.
LOIS: What?
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
LEX: I always outsource.
Willing isn't the problem.
LEX: A-Ha! I happen to know a pretty little Assistant D.A. who can't stand Superman.
SUPERMAN: No, that's not what EW... What? Someone doesn't like me?
![clap clap](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/clap.gif)
Purrfect!
There's the reason Paul dumped Lois so quickly for Linda. She was too much effort.
Likes them quick and easy, huh?
LOIS: And apparently, the ‘easy’ part was more important.
LINDA: Huh?
LOIS: Case and point.
ER: Yes, taking risqué photos but not going all the way? Smart girl.
EW: Actually, that is better, isn't it?
That depends on the sort of proof you’d like out there.
CLARK: Nudie pics of Lois!
Clark pictures headline: CLARK KENT WINS LOTTO!
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
EW: That's exactly what I wanted you to think. /is an EW/
Okay, that one kind of was self-referential.
NATIONAL WHISPER: The MPD is looking for the person who is trying to sell these photos of an anonymous woman. Please take a good look at the photos and if you know who might have the negatives, please contact Henderson at the MPD.
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
Wouldn't they just steal an extra set of prints?
To better sell them later on?
Yes, but what everyone will say and assume based on those photos would be.
That she’s a little sex kitten?
CAT: Copyright!
Clark's a smart cookie. Kryptonian chip.
![laugh laugh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)
He just needs to watch out that Lois takes the Kryptonian chip brand and not the store brand Kryptonite chip. They put them in the shelves right next to each other.
EW: No, no. I mean, she isn't concerned because...
LOIS: I know I look good.
EW: No, no!
LOIS: /Doesn’t like thinking about how she looks in the morning/ I don't?
![clap clap](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/clap.gif)
BENDER: Before you walk down the aisle, my dear, can you just sign this pre-nup, saying that Mr. Luthor can see with whomever he pleases, but you can't even look at another man? Thanks.
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/boese/a090.gif)
BENDER: Can have some ketchup with that, please?
Actually, it's much lower than that. In NYC, it's $1000.
Oh? So, Lois stealing a laptop with secret files on it would land her in the Big House?
LEX: Oh, she won't be working after the honeymoon. She'll be too busy getting the nursery ready.
LOIS: I don't garden.
OFFICE PLANT:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/traurig/d020.gif)
EW: Ooooh! Low blow. /hides mind in gutter/
Thank you
![smile smile](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)
ER: He’s evil.
EW: No. He's addicted.
To Lois?
CLARK:
![huh huh](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/huh.gif)
Even if it will cost him his sanity?
I thought that was elementary school.
LOIS: And the difference being…?
LOIS: What part of "I didn't sleep with Paul" did you not understand?
CAT: The one between then the quotes.
The shirt was long enough to cover everything Clark hasn't seen before.
From the way she behaved during the Pheromone incident, likely even less.
You mean you think CLARK has the negatives?! Now, that's a twist I wish I *HAD* thought of!
That *would* have been fun!
Oh, you mean the blackmailer... or did you mean, Clark after he got hold of the negatives or the blackmailer?
The blackmailer.
I'm not! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
![smile1 smile1](/ubb/images/graemlins/default/1syellow1.gif)
(Also, I'm afraid I'm out of bounds with today's lingo. What does "shipping Lois and Clark" mean? Or is this another Autocorrect fail?)
‘ship’ is short for ‘relationship’. ‘Shipping’ is making two characters into a couple, either because they’re on screen or because the audience wants them to be. E.g. Lex/Clark shippers (they are few and far between on these boards, though. But I think there’s more of them over on fanfic boards concerned with Smallville). So the entire office waits for some kissing noises to come out of Perry’s office. Like they did when he and Rahelia where alone during the Pheromone incident. It's also often related to cutesy couple-names for the respective ship, e.g. Clois.
CLOIS: Ribbit! Ribribit!*)
*) Hey, that name and ship is taken!
