(Lois is leaning over her desk and
Clark glances up)
Clark starts to lower his glasses for a *better*
look.
AngelCK: No! That's wrong!
DevilCK: Come on...just one little
peek!
AngelCK: Clark. What would she think if she knew what you were
doing?!
DevilCK: She won't know!
Lois turns around and smiles at
Clark. He grins back embarrassedly.

Maggie's Mouthful --parting is such sweet sorrow edition
by Maggie
(Maggie13@bellsouth.net)
Sorrow--deep distress and regret (as over
the loss of something loved)
Sweet sorrow. What a concept. Never quite
got it till about
5 seconds ago, when I had to think of a subtitle for this
column
and it just popped into my head. How could sorrow possibly
be
sweet?
Well, after a lot of pondering and very little actual column
writing
I have decided to turn in my inkwell, hang up my hat, and give
in
to the inevitable. This is it. My last hurrah. I *think* I know
how
Clark felt when he was leaving for New Krypton with no clue as to
when
he would be back, if ever.
I've been sitting at my computer, staring at
the screen for about
ten minutes now, trying to find a way to put into
comprehensible
words what this experience has meant to me. I have *loved*
writing
this column, looking for superlative quotes, babbling about
everything
super under the sun, and being a part of the FOLC Central
staff.
I feel sorrow because as one cycle of my life begins, this one
ends.
It is sweet because I remember all the fun I had coming up
with
signs of folcness, going Lois and Clarking on Halloween, finding
the
*perfect* quote to write a whole column around.
Before I go, I would
like to take a moment to express my gratitude:
to Molly for being the best
editor/publisher/
and Cyber friend a girl could ask for--I
remembered how
much I love writing
thanks to you
to Cristin for being my soulsister :o)
to the Diva for her fashion sense
to our beloved Fanfiction Writers
for
awesome stories and super quotes
to Mary who named my column
and to
*you* for reading this now.
And since I'll never get all the great quotes
out of my system,
here are a few to savor as the Mouthful
closes...........
Clark: Hi.
Lois: Hi. Oh, god, this is exactly why we
shouldn't go out.
Clark: All I said was hi.
Lois: Yes, I know, and a dozen
thoughts went
through my mind: You know, how's my makeup?
Do I smell
good? Do I have coffee breath? See,
and all that was just with you saying
hi.
What's gonna happen when you start
saying words with more than one
syllable?
--Season 2, Episode 13: "The Phoenix"
Lois (rolls her head
and smiles) "What am I going to do with you?"
Clark (smugly) "You're going to
love me for the rest of my life."
Pam Jernigan "Crazy For You"
Lois:
Well, what he can't do, it doesn't matter. It's the idea of Superman.
Someone
to believe in. Someone to build a few hopes around. Whatever he can
do,
that's enough.
--Season 1, Episode 3: "Neverending Battle"
Lois
watches Clark sleeping and ponders:
"You could be anywhere in the world
right now, you could be doing anything
in the world right now. Yet you're
here, with me, in this little
apartment, on a cold, rainy Tuesday and all you
wanted to do was to watch
a basketball game and eat some pizza.....You are so
amazing, Clark.
You don't even know that, do you? You don't know just how
amazing you are."
--Chris Mulder, Dimensions of Loving
Lois: Zara,
stir the fudge, and turn off the popcorn.
Zara: Which is which?
Lois:
Finally, someone worse in the kitchen than me.
--Season 4, Episode 2:
"Battleground Earth"
I don't know how to say goodbye, so I
won't.
--Maggie, the last Mouthful

Hey FoDCs! Do you crave for Dean as

ENOUGH?! Well, I know how you feel. So I have the perfect antidote for you all.

not know, it's a movie starring Tia Carrera, Bryan Brown, Sean McCann, Ken
James, Richard Chevolleau and (who else?) the one an only DEAN CAIN! One
Showtime at the following times.

Both are in Show time. (Sorry
only Eastern Time Zone) I know I am going to stay up late to watch it. And those
of you who do, Send me reviews. Rate it: 5 stars being the best Dean movie and 1
star being the worst. Also send in opinions. The best one(s) will be posted on
the next column. So send in those ratings to Ranjet13@aol.com.

Letters to FC
* * * * * * * * * *
I was wondering if you could ask all of the folcs that read
your
newsletter if they are on icq and would like to talk to other
folcs.
Would you then be able to print those icq numbers in a newsletter?
Would that be possible? Thanks.
--alicaz
* * *
Great idea! So, how about it,
FOLCs? If you are on ICQ, send me your number and I'll put it in a future
newsletter! That way, you can get to know new FOLCs:)
