Stupid cat! I finally found my reading glasses. No one else but Linda and my family know that I have to wear them. I've managed to hide them from everyone else so far.
Stupid cat. I found them wedged behind the couch, right next to my cell phone. Stupid (The following passage has been deleted by Linda Park West due to its explicit material.) That's it, I'm sending the Dark Cat from Hell to Bruce.
By the way, Bruce still hasn't gotten me back for the underwear thing. I'm starting to get really worried.

Aren't you going to get Wally back for the underwear thing? I thought that you would have gotten him by now. (And the waterballoons from Dick don't count.)

I am getting him back. I figure that the longer I wait, the more worried he'll get.
It's called mind games John. They work well with Wally.

Still nothing from Bruce. I finally called Terry to ask about it, but the kid didn't know anything. He just said the Bruce clams up when he asks about me.
Bruce is planning something.

I can't take it anymore! Bruce is giving me the silent treatment! I wish he'd just get it over already!
Stupid Bruce.

Excerpt from Wally West's Telephone Conversation with Bruce Wayne
Wally: Bruce, I know you're planning something, but it won't work.
Bruce: (silence)
Wally: You're not still mad about the underwear, are you? I already told you, it was Ollie's idea.
Bruce: (silence)
Wally: Uh…
Bruce: (silence)
Wally: I can't take it anymore! You evil, sadistic rat with wings! Just get it over already!
Bruce:…All in good time Flash.
Wally: What the…it speaks! What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Bruce: Click.
Wally: Bruce? Dammit! He hung up on me! Stupid Bruce.

Wally finally figured it out. You might as well do whatever you were planning to do.

Well well, so you wear reading glasses do you Wally? I'll have to share that with the rest of the League. Oh and you can keep the cat, I don't want it.
By the way, stop calling me Stupid Bruce. I'm intellectually superior to you.
Sincerely,
The Evil Sadistic Rat with Wings
