"Lucy"

Listen, I was a military dependent(*not* an army brat) for 18 years--I was friends with officer's kids, and no one--*no* one ever referred to their pop by their rank. Ever. EVER.
Granted, it was during the Vietnam era and stuff was different then but still--"THe General." God-- I just wanted to smack the crap out of her every time she said that. I liked everything else though, logic bombs and all. Silly episode yes, but just too pretty to be mad at.

I broke up with Smallville after S4, Ep 1. There were a couple of reasons. A) It wasn't possible for Lex to get any sexier than in that white-linen-suit-taking-off, nipple-clamping, bead-of-sweat-trailing scene before which all other sexiness in the world must bow down.

And B) I hate the death of Clex.

Lois and her dad, the exploits of Super!Lana, naked teen witches, cute dogs, and all the other shark-jumping tactics have only served to drive me farther away. I watched the episode where Chloe Finds Out, and of course I watched the one where Lex Has Sex and Is Therefore Evol, but otherwise? We've broken up.

I'm still sad. I miss my Smallville.

Actually...

I went out with a guy who had a father that was a colonel, and he and his siblings always referred to him as 'The Colonel'. Not to his face, of course! *g*

My father started out as an NCO and ended up as a Major. When he acheived his highest rank, we always referred to him as Major Dad -- not because of the rank, but because of an Erma Bombeck piece describing a family trip which was hilarious and the father in it (known as Major Dad) fit my father to a T.

So it does happen. Not often, but it does happen.

I could be totally, totally wrong, but I'm thinking it might be comic book canon that Lois called her dad that? I could soooooo be wrong, though. Seriously.

My Dad was in the Navy but mostly I just refered to him as "that asshole" but that may just be me
