Hey, FOLCs! Now that the season is changing, FOLC Central
is going to be changing a little bit as well. College is starting for me in one
week. Ick. So I'll be doing that full-time, plus two part-time jobs. I still
would like to be able to send out 1-2 newsletters a week. And I certainly don't
want to overwork
In This Newsletter...
What's New?

SUPERDOLLARS--yes,
you all should know by now how you can earn them. One way is to get your
question published in "Ask Cat Grant". Another way is to be the first person to
correctly answer our newsletterly (is that a word?) trivia.
Now there's
a new way! In most newsletters, we'll have a "L&C Questionette". Basically,
just answer the question. And if you want, be creative! I'll print as many as we
can in a future newsletter, but one (or two, or three, depending on how many
answers I recieve each week) lucky question-answerer (it could be you!) will get
35 superdollars each time! How will I pick the winner? I'll be looking at
creativity (mostly) and humor. If it's a serious topic, then I'll judge it
accordingly.
So now there are *three* easy ways to earn yourself some
superdollars! And guess what? There is some VERY cool stuff in the superstore

*A factory sealed
box of Lois & Clark trading cards!
*A 1999 Teri Hatcher
calendar!
*L&C Tattoos

Novel
*Superman merchandise!

Ask Cat Grant!
by CatGrant36@aol.com
Dear Cat:
Is it just me, or did anyone else
notice that in the episodes, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" & " AKA Superman",
the little remote control that Randy Good uses is the same one that Penny's boss
uses for sound-proofing his office are the same???
Perplexed in
Portland
Dear Perplexed,
First, let me give
everyone reading this a brief moment to consult their tapes of "Sex, Lies, and
Videotape" and "AKA Superman" in order to see that you are, in fact, correct.
Second, let me congratulate you on your astute observation. I, for one, was
unaware of that incosistency on the part of the production company. I have three
explanations for you, choose whichever one you so desire:
1) All villians
belong to a union. Villians belonging to this union purchase all of their
evil-doing tools at the same place, and that would explain why both Randy Good
and Penny's boss have the exact same remote control.
2) The Warner Brothers
Company was cheap. By the time "Sex, Lies, and Videotape" and "AKA Superman"
rolled around, Lois and Clark was in its 4th season. And by this time, the end
of Lois and Clark was certain. (BUT, remember it will always live on in our
hearts!) So, instead of dropping the extra $5 for a new prop, the people in
charge of props, or "prop people" if you will, decided that they would recycle
the remote from the previous episode. Little did they know that some FoLCs are
incredibly observant. But, in their defense--Recycling is good for The
Planet.
3) A certain "prop person" was placed in charge of selecting a
remote control for the use of Penny's boss. But due to unforseen circumstances,
whatever they may have been, this employee....forgot. In order to avoid being
scolded, he/she found the remote control from the previous episode and decided
that it would work well enough.
Thanks for writing! And don't forget to
send your questions to--- CatGrant36@aol.com
REMEMBER, the writer of the
selected letter will recieve 50 superdollars!

As Seen Through Lois'
Eyes
Part Three.........
by
Rachel M.
On Christmas Eve, we arrived home at a late hour, because we
had just gotten back from a Christmas party that one of Mother's friends had
thrown. She gave me the key to unlock the numerous locks on the door. She had
always said, "You can never have too many locks," and I believed her. As I
opened the door, the alarm went off, and as I was opening the door further so I
could go inside the house, it suddenly became jammed. I looked down and there
was the dog and the stick that we laid between the door and the end of the
doorframe (our door was a sliding door) for extra insurance against burglars. I
guessed the dumb mutt had knocked the stick down from its usual spot leaning
against the wall. So as the alarm continued going off, I went through another
screaming fit. Mother literally went hysterical, because when the usual beep
goes off for 30 seconds, it viciously turns into a wailing blare that I'm sure
must've woken up the entire neighborhood. We tried forcing the door. Didn't
work. Tried the front door. Didn't work. Lucy and I finally gave up and
retreated to the slightly warmer temperature and quieter conditions in the car
while Mother mirthlessly kicked away at the door, hoping that maybe if she
screamed loud enough, the door would magically open. Lucy jumped out of the car,
mumbling something about trying the windows. She managed to get a window open
(imagine us having a million locks on our door, but not locking the
windows...Ha!), and Mother practically went ballistic. When the police arrived
(which was about an hour later), they had their usual stoic faces on, and they
were even less amused than the incident before. I vowed to kill them when I was
older (naturally I didn't), but of course they went on their merry way, leaving
us with yet another fine. I told Mother to take it to court because *they* were
the ones that arrived an hour and a half late. But she said she didn't want to
go to all the trouble and paid it. I was about to go to the courthouse myself,
but Mother read my thoughts like an open book...she said that if I went to the
courthouse she'd take an ax to me. I never doubted her for a minute.
-----------------------------------------------------
And you know
what comes after three...everybody together now! "FOUR!!" Wonderful! We can all
count to four! That's great!......

Trivia
Last newsletter's question was:
>>What are
the names of the two famous actresses that talked about DEAN CAIN when they
hosted a night of "T.G.I.F." a few years ago? Hint: they're sisters, and they
currently star on a TV show together.<<
The answer is... Tia & Tamera Mowry,
of "Sister, Sister"! Now, maybe this question was a little too easy
This newsletter's question is:
Name the three
Lois & Clark guest-stars (the actors' names please) that also starred in the
1995 TV Movie "The Langoliers". (If you don't know all three, just name the ones
that you can. If no one gets all three, then the first person with the most
correct names will get the superdollars). Good luck!
50 superdollars to
the first person with the correct answer! Send your answers to
LoveLC@aol.com!
