Galas are hard work

[neverontime]

I've decided something ...and instantly realized I wanted to make it into a decree....which led me to realize that no one makes decrees anymore, and that's a shame.

There's something so royal about a decree, something that declaration yearns for and yet never really attains.

And here it is:

It's almost impossible to fall asleep during a board meeting

Try taking Tylenol PM about an hour before the meeting.

[neverontime]

How will that balance my chairing the meeting with my need to sleep through it?

[dl_greenarrow]

It will make you sleepy enough that you'll appear not to care.

Brilliant idea, but it doesn't help me forget that you offered to give away my pen.

I actually went out and picked that specific pen just for you, Oliver Queen. And you didn't even have the decency to keep it for more than 24 hours.

Do I have to kick your ass?

[not_myfather]

I don't have a pen, Brucie.

I want a pen.

That is my decree.

[neverontime]

You're not old enough to make decrees yet ... or have a pen.

Sorry, Harry.

[not_myfather]

You have hurt my feelings.

I'm pouting in a corner.

I still look good, naturally. But I thought you should know you have destroyed a boy's dream.

[neverontime]

Pout all you want. Just remember -- that's what causes wrinkles.

We can't have your skin matching your hair, can we?

[wingedvirtue]

I'm curious to know.

What is your style, Bruce Wayne?

[neverontime]

Why, Warren Worthington the III -- you should know better than most that being Bruce Wayne is a style.

Would you like me to teach it to you?

[wingedvirtue]

Last I heard Bruce Wayne was a hangover and a never-returned-phone call.

I'll have to turn you down, I'm afraid.

[neverontime]

Ouch, WWIII. That stung a little but oh wait -- my billions made me feel better.

I've invited Pepper down next week. You should come, look at my new Porsche. Only one in North America. You might be able to get one in a few months.

All that money is wasted on you morons.

Why can't you actually EARN your paycheques, instead of discussing how to look like you don't care?

[not_myfather]

If it isn't Lois Lane.

The sweetness and good nature, it can be felt even through the internet.

Truly.

[reporters_lane]

If it isn't Harry Osborn.

I can feel the sting of your many STD's.

Truly.

[not_myfather]

See, you said that last time.

What happened to originality, Lane?

[no_roadmaps]

Annihilation of all those who oppose you? It tends to work for me. Kind of a 'Solve everything' button.

I'm kidding, of course.

[neverontime]

Of course you are, Lex.

But somehow, I doubt I'd get the results I wanted -- after all, I do want someone to say "My god, Wayne! What a brilliant idea!"

We all want a little acceptance, don't we?

[no_roadmaps]

I've heard acceptance can be important.

I will get to work on shifting my work ethic immediately. I can't argue with results, after all, potential or otherwise.

Did your therapist tell you that too? Amazing people, these psychotherapists. I've broken five this month alone.

And shatter the very foundations of LuthorCorp? I'd be morbidly intrigued to see that.
