Okay, were you able to guess whose birthday it is? (I'll give you a hint; he's in the story)

This is just one way of thanking the gentle readers for all the support and encouragement they've given this old man over the years.

I know you would have perferred cash, but take what you can get.

Tank (who is psychologically 22, physically 82, and thus chronologically... you do the math)

It's Jimmy's birthday? Wow, guess you had a change of heart.

And Lois with long hair...Wow again!

Uh...then again.

Happy birthday, Tank!

Happy Birthday, Tank!

Oh, god, I am laughing so hard right now. I knew it had to be a nightmare (for Lois, I mean, not for you ... the other part is a given ) but I wasn't expecting the "twist" at the end. So, so funny.

How many drinks did you have to have before you could write this stuff? You must have been twitching the whole time, LOL!

Hope you have a good one,

Kathy

Oh my god, I would have loved to see you write this. The whole time I was reading I just kept laughing harder and harder. When Lois left the room I was sure something in was going to explode and kill Jimmy and the kids. The twist at the end was a perfect cap to a hysterical story. Quite a nightmare indeed. Well done, and happy birthday!

Annie

What Annie said! I was sure something was going to explode at any moment, killing the kids and Jimmy, and singeing Lois' hair.

This ending was much less violent.



Happy birthday, Tank!

LOL! Loved the kids' names And with that ending, it has to be a birthday present for yourself <g>

Happy Birthday!

PJ

Happy Happy Birthday, Tank!

Sherry

Tank

ROTFL!!! Just hilarious!
I couldn't stop laughing while reading this.

Happy birthday, Tank!

Tricia

Happy Birthday, Tank.

These boards are lucky to have you, and what's make-believe for if it can't send a short-haired Lois Lane to your home state?

Loved how you built this- layer upon layer, all the while I'm alternately chuckling and cringing because I *know* there's a wham up ahead. Very effective and very fun.

Happy Birthday Tank,

So, you're part of my generation! And Michigan's winters are close to those of Minnesota. No wonder I like your writing -- They come from a cold, old writer like me.

Thanks for all of your stories. They usually make my day, just as this one did.

Again, happy birthday.


Barb.

Happy Birthday, Tank!

this was a hoot!
Thanks, and happy birthday.

LOL! That's a new twist, writing yourself a birthday story. I was worried when Lois had long hair, and Jimmy was alive, but I thought you were just being nice because of someone's birthday. But then you turned it around nicely.

Happy Birthday, Tank!

LOL!!!

Didn't know that was anti-Tank, but what the hey!

What a wonderful birthday present for yourself, Tank! Thanks for sharing.

Hazel, still giggling at the kids' names

Oh...My...God...

I kept thinking 'I'm dreaming! Tank isn't really writing this!' Or maybe even George from Yvonne's story.

And then the twist... Hah! Very funny! But I liked it.

Happy birthday!!!!


Wendy

It's your birthday, Tank? You have birthdays?

Well... we can't let that go by unnoticed. And so if you go here and paste this code: 510-4102193-1203 into the box marked 'pick up a greetings card' you might find something you like. Or not. Who knows?

As for the story... Well, you have a very vivid imagination! Clark and I were... well, intrigued is probably a very good word.

Hope you have a nice birthday!



Lois

ROTFL!!!!!

I hope you and Lois will be celebrating in style tonight!!!

Happy birthday, Tank!!!

Missy

Too funny!

Even when I read this *very* early today I knew something was wrong. It started with Lois's long hair... then kids and Jimmy alive and well... I had to scroll up to check if it really had you're name there, Tank. But then the end came and it was very interesting. Should have expected it.

Happy birthday, Tank!

Saskia

Hi,

You are Bad!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANK!



~Liz

All right, Tank.

But I was surprised - and even a bit disappointed - that you didn't blow Jimmy up. That would have been an extra nice birthday present, wouldn't it?

Happy birthday, Tank!!

Kathy

Happy Birthday, Tank!

What a great story to celebrate the birth of one of the funniest LnC fans I know! Very cute - I thought at first that you'd had some kind of breakdown and were now writing next gen fic.

Keep them coming to us for many many many years to come!

Lynn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Pelican

Hilarious! Despite just having read Wendy's story, I was convinced that it was for someone else's bithday, as, like the others, I was convinced that there was no way that you would write something like this willingly. The hair, Jimmy and the kids! (Saccharine sweet comes to mind...)

Happy Birthday.

Loriel

Too evil for words, Tank!

Happy Birthday!!

Irene

Well, what they said!! I was thinking 'Geez, if Tank is doing this, it must be for the birthday of someone he *really* loves'...

Turns out, you indeed were.

It was a nice and LOLly story. I enjoyed it a lot.

Keep writing, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Tank,
sorry I'm late in posting
I am so far behind

very funny story
Happy Birthday
merry

Thanks to all for the birthday wishes.

Generally, at my age, I no longer acknowlegde birthdays, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity to create the ultimate 'Barry Stew' story.

Tank (who thinks that all writers should be required to write a fic for the boards on their birthdays)

Umm...pardon my ignorance, but who's Barry Stew?

It's just my male oriented version of "Mary Sue".

Tank (who couldn't remember if there is an accepted designation for the male Mary Sue story)

The one I've heard, Tank, is "Gary Stu" but I've no idea how "official" that might be.

PJ

My favourite was the red-headed Jimmy <g>. Tank, if we all wrote birthday fics for ourselves, the danger is that they'd all come out pretty much the same. Just think of all those Mary Sue and Gary Stu stories we'd get...

Yvonne
(who confesses she once wrote half of a story subtitled 'The Ultimate Mary Sue')
