I loved it! Another cracker story from you! It was well written and a very very plausible way out of LnC's situation that Samantha put them in. Thank you! This was a nice way to kick off the morning, I can go do some work now with a smile on my face.   Cheers Elizabeth

 Ow. I think I pulled a rib muscle. That was an outstanding story with a perfect ending. In fact, it was so good, I'd like to borrow the Suit - just for a weekend, you understand, no more, and I promise no public appearances. And I'll stay away from the windows. How about it?

Brilliant! Loved it.  PJ
"You told me you weren't like other men," she said, shaking her head at him when the storm of laughter had passed.
He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."
"You can say that again," she told him.
"I have a...."
"Oh, shut up."

Oh, that was absolutely delightful!
(Though of course, due to my LnC illiteracy, I'm not too sure who the "Superman" in the fic really was...)
But it was hilarious, and your portraits of Clark, Lois and Superman were perfect!

Hi Ann
I assumed Superman was Clark/Superman from the alternate universe.

When I beta'd it, I was thinking....."Hey, this is really nifty! It solves multiple problems, it's totally believable, and it reinforces the belief that Clark Kent and Superman are two different people!" (Of course, one of them is the Alt-Clark, so they technically *are* different people. But you know what I mean.) And all within show canon. Plus a crackerjack last line!

Loved this story. Wonderful idea to say it was Clark then use Alt-Clark to "prove" that Clark can't possibly be Superman. I too loved that last sentence. The whole story was great, but that epilogue was just icing on the cake.  Great job!
Perry: (To Lois) Honey, this could be greatest story since Superman came to town. By-the-by, where is that husband of yours?

Great story! I loved this line
“I didn’t *just* dress up,” Clark said indignantly. “I gelled my hair and took off my glasses too.”
well done, and thank you!

Corrina, that was hilarious. And ingenious, having Clark officially dress up as Superman only to have Altman show up to make sure everyone 'knows' Clark is not Superman  Michael

AWESOME last line! It was the perfect end to a very fun story.
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.

Hi Corrina, I loved this. I never paid any attention to the fact that those two episodes were so conveniently adjacent to each other. This: Lois’s eyes travelled across the bulk of letters. “What do they want?” she asked.
“The Suit,” Clark said weakly. “They all want to borrow the Superman Suit.” was an absolutely, positively fabulous ending. Bob
