Summary: thefourthvine wrote, "I want the story where someone sits down and thinks that, and lists every single person in the canon (probably in some kind of database, with numerical codes and assigned weights for each category and stuff) and weighs all the pros and cons and finally, after a lot of careful deliberation, selects a candidate for the position of Significant Other."

This is the first step in that process.

Clark Kent: All American Boy

Clark Kent, wherever he is on Saturday night, listens to A Prairie Home Companion with the fervor and amusement that most people reserve for religious broadcasts.

This is perturbing to the denizens of Indonesia who have been pulled out of mudslides by Superman humming, "Has your family tried them, Powdermilk?"

The people who used to live in that building in Montmartre -- the fire damage is still being repaired -- were unedified by the words they heard as Superman blew it out, except for the English expat, who was still confused by "And all the children are above average." He figured it had to have something to do with Krypton.

Lois found him the fedora for his Guy Noir costume last Halloween, although she rolls her eyes if he's home for any significant length of time and wants to use a nearby radio to listen in. "You get better reception than it does, Smallville."

"It's the principle of the thing," Clark says, and turns it up.

He also convinced her to go watch it ("Watch a radio show? Why?") when it went on the road to Metropolis the first time after they started dating. After that, she said, "This is your thing, not mine," so he had to get Dick to go with him instead.

The phone rang right after, "Happy fortieth anniversary to Jonathan and Martha; you know how to make things superlative," and Lois had to answer it because Clark was smiling too hard, and also he was over Okinawa.

Jimmy has made a habit of taking a personal day on the day after the April Joke Show so Clark can get the really terrible ones out of his system on someone else for a change.
