FDK: Four Lever-Pullers (find 'em all) - Lois & Clark Fanfic Message Boards

Okay... first you had me worried, Mary!! Especially since you said, "Here's something less depressing." ;P~~~

Then I laughed out loud!!

A lever puller? Really?!?

Eventually I realized you must mean this.

SPOILERS BELOW!

“She loves me?”
“Yep. You know, you should be glad!”

Quote

Help! I need *somebody*!

Here comes the sun!

Did you want links to the actual lyrics?

Okay, back....

Here are my feeble attempts at guessing:

"raining cats and dogs"

“I’m a man who’s lost his only love.”

"Help! I need *somebody*" (Hah ha!!!! I thought that looked a little odd!

)

"The rain was over. Here comes the sun!"

Okay... I know I got one, and like I said, the rest are feeble guesses. Now... question is... do I let everyone else in on the clue? Or was i just blind in the first place?

Well... good luck everyone else.

Sara

Mary. I have a vague memory of hearing about lever pullers, but I'd entirely forgotten. Great job.

Fun story.

I think I spotted more than 4, though...

Yesterday, it was all just an easy game to play, and now all he wanted to do was hide. Lois had left Metropolis. Why, he didn’t know. She wouldn’t say. He’d just said something wrong, apparently.

Yesterday

Quote

He sighed and turned the corner, walking down a small road lined by shops. The first was a small barber shop. The barber---someone he knew personally---had a photograph of just about every customer he’d ever had displayed in his window. Normally, Clark would stop in and say hello, but today he just didn’t feel like it.

At the corner on the other end of the street was a small apartment building. One of its residents, a bank employee, was getting out of his car. Clark absently noted that the man didn’t have a raincoat on, even though it was raining cats and dogs. Some nearby children apparently found this amusing and were snickering behind the man’s back.

Penny Lane

No matter how hard he tried, Clark couldn’t get her out of his mind. Maybe he should go somewhere and try to clear his head---there was this one place in Central Park where he could just close his eyes and pretend that nothing was real and there was nothing to get hung up about. It was so peaceful, he could stay there forever!

Strawberry Fields

Quote

“She said she loves you.”

Clark was stunned. Lois loved him? He grinned. That couldn’t be bad! “She loves me?”

Jimmy nodded. “Yep. You know, you should be glad!”

“I am, I am.” Clark was still dazed, and his sloppy grin threatened to consume his entire face. “She loves me?”

Jimmy smiled at his friend. “Yeah.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah!”

She Loves You

Quote

“Wow.” Clark still couldn’t believe it! Lois loved him, and that was all he needed. Well, that, and a little help from his friends. “Thanks Jimmy!”

A Little Help From My Friends

Quote

Suddenly, his super hearing picked up a desperate cry. <<Help! I need *somebody*!>>

Help!

Quote

Here comes the sun!

Here Comes The Sun

Now... do not all of those count for some reason, or did you just try to pull one over on us poor innocent FoLCs?

Oh, and did I miss anything?

Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Paul

"And I said, 'What about "Breakfast at Tiffany's?"'
She said, 'I think I remember the film, and as I recall, I think, we both kinda liked it.'
And I said, 'Well, that's one thing we've got...'"

Well done, Mary!!!!

Here are two more:

She'd only given him the situation - You Never Give Me Your Money

Every day in every way it's getting better and better - Beautiful Boy (Darling Boy)

At first I thought it was "Getting Better", but after singing the entire song to myself, I realized it wasn't. <g>

Editted to add:

Four Lever-Pullers: Ringo Starr in the movie Yellow Submarine ("I can't help it. I'm a born lever-puller.")

Well, the lever-puller stuff has gone straight over my head, but it's a sweet story regardless

Well done!

PJ

I loved it Yeah yeah yeah, I said I loved it and you know that can't be bad! Laura

Well, okay, I see what you mean now, Mary, but I have to tell you that 'lever-puller, said with an English accent' (quoting Sara) means nothing to me!

Cute story, though, even if I did think the resolution was a bit too easy - I mean, Lois forgiving Clark over the revelation as easily as that?

Wendy

I had to think about it but I did get there...

I'm now risking humilation from my family, because I'm walking round saying 'lever puller' in a Liverpudlian accent to see if that makes things clearer.

To be fair, scouse or not, it works better with the UK pronounciation than the US of lever...

Helga

Hi,

Cute story.

Too bad is so short.

MAF

I still am not quite sure what a lever-puller is, but I still find this story lots of fun!

See ya,
AnnaBtG. (who has been listening to 'The Beatles 1962-1966' on an everyday basis since her father installed again the old record player... her brothers love it and she does, too

)

P.S.: The song playing right now is "She Loves You".

Lever-puller is a play on words. The Beatles were from Liverpool, England. (The pun plays better when 'lever' is pronounced with an initial long e.)

- Vicki

Nope, doesn't work at all to this former European.

Besides, someone from Liverpool is a Liverpuddlian.

Wendy

Gee, all these years I thought that was the joke.

Well, if that isn't what they meant, then I don't know what a lever-puller is, either!

- Vicki

I still feel stupid because I don't understand...I might, but I'm not sure. LOL

hi

I loved the story.
Great one.

But I feel stupid too ´cause I dont understant that "lever-puller" Thing.

But great story....see you
