Hi Amanda!

but I still want to do as many of the challenges as I can and hopefully give my lazy muse a kick in the pants in the process.

FoLCs are always happy to help with that!

Don't be afraid to get creative with the items they have to find!

Green crystals! A kidnapped Lois Lane!

Quote
but last night (while I was SUPPOSED to be sleeping) my brain decided to play around with the idea a bit and came up with something.

Naughty brain!

Quote
“I hear what you’re saying, Lois. Reporters Without Borders is a great organization and they do help people by making way for journalists to report on problems worldwide. I’m just saying that Save the Children has a more direct and immediate impact for those in need.”

Also, Reporters Without Borders could also indicate a slush fund to pay for legal fees when a reporter gets arrested because she didn’t respect the borders of some property or other.

Quote
Lois rolled her eyes at her husband’s antics.

So, Season Four and beyond. Probably beyond. And I am surprised Clark isn’t also arguing against Lois wanting to deliver the donations personally, just like Ralph did last year on his work trip to Barbados.

Quote
Reporters Without Borders opens doors for journalists to show the world what is happening so that changes can be made.”

Except for those countries where the doors open towards Cell Bock D.

Quote
A few fancy dinners, shmoozing politicians to open those doors?

Well…if the politician accepts 5000 dollars to open a door, that’s a story right there.

Quote
Just that Save the Children can stretch the money a lot farther – feeding orphans, building houses, digging wells.”

Plus, you can feed a lot more children with the same amount of money than you can feed one Bobby Bigmouth.

Quote
“The paper won an award which came with a $5000 donation to charity. The suits told Perry to decide. He delegated it to us.”

Quote
“Point taken.” Lois stood up and began pacing around the room. “So, what do we do? They’re both good charities. How should we decide?”

Maybe the one who’s beneficiaries had fewer charges for Breaking & Entering in the past year?

LOIS: That’s an unfair trick. You *know* I’m a member of Journalists Without Borders!

Quote
“Scavenger hunt,” Lois corrected.

“With microfiche.”

“That’s right. We each have a copy of the list. First one to find all five items wins. And no cheating with super powers.”

Nice way to get this from a public contest down to a personal one. And nice job on not having underwear thrown into the mix!

Quote
1. A front page headline involving food
2. A wedding announcement with a double alliteration (can’t use ours)
3. A photo of Superman in his “shoulder pad” cape
4. An ad for space rats
5. A weather forecast for snow in April

Oh, cute! And does number two also exclude Lois Lane and Lex Luthor or is the ‘ours’ only for Lois AND Clark combined?

Quote
It would be pretty easy to pinpoint the time frame for that one – although there weren’t many photos of him in that particular suit.

/tries to remember if there was a thread on Discord about it/

Quote
Three days later, Jimmy stopped Clark on the ramp down into the bullpen. “Hey, CK! Is everything okay?”

“Sure Jimmy. Everything’s fine. Why do you ask?”

Jimmy shrugged. “I just noticed that this is the third day in a row you’ve been wearing a plain tie – no patterns.

So…Clark lost?

Quote
I think the only times I’ve seen you in a plain tie have been for weddings and funerals. So what gives? Did you lose a bet?”

Hey! Who slipped Jimmy the ginseng root!

Quote
“What would Lois have to wear if you’d won?”

“Shoulder pads – really big shoulder pads.”

/cocks eyebrow/ Doesn’t she always…? Oh, you mean, *only* shoulder pads devil

Adorable little comedy piece!
