Fellow Leaguers,

The last transmission was not authorized by the Council. While the culprit has not yet been caught, we do have a list of suspects. We are watching you.

Also, as tonight is Halloween, the Watchtower will be on special alert for any "tricks." This alert not only includes supervillains on Earth, but also any members of the League that feel they may have to creatively express themselves tonight.

Have a Happy Halloween.

Leaguers:

We have received information that a clone of Virgil Hawkins may be running loose among the population of Haiti. Static Shock, Gear, and War Hawk please report to the council room.

Also, the Council asks that whoever has programmed all of the computer terminals to play The Spam Song from Monty Python's Flying Circus to please delete your program.

Severe repercussions may result if this song is not terminated with all due speed.

Who the hell would want to clone Virgil of all people? I mean…why not me? I'm insulted.

By the way, Richie's the one who programmed the computers to play the Spam song. (Which apparently is driving the Council crazy.) They asked that the song be stopped or "Severe repercussions may result if this song is not terminated with all due speed."

Richie, being the nice guy that he is, stopped the Spam song on the computers. However, now he has the League's intercom system playing The Lumberjack Song from Monty Python.

I don't see why Clark hasn't given up yet. He can't win.

I also checked out the new website for the Green Arrow movement. I'm still trying to figure out who made it. Ollie says that it wasn't him or Dinah.

I have to get going. I'm supposed to take the grandkids trick or treating. I was going to put on my Flash suit, but Linda said no. I decided then that I was going to dress as Batman. I think Ollie's going to go as Superman when he takes his grandkids out.

Last night was great! I ambushed John behind his house. It was great. I think he's threatening to kill me now though. At least Shayera was nice about it. She liked my costume. She also gave the kids plenty of candy.

I took the kids just about everywhere. We hit the Kents, the Stewarts, the Queens…heck, we even hit Helena and Vic's house. Question may not like Halloween, but Huntress sure gives out a lot of candy.

I also introduced Terry to the great art of oreo stealing. I distracted J'onn while Terry made off with all the oreos. Of course, he did get us back later. The League has a tradition that someone, I think it may have actually been Barbara, started about twenty years ago. The League picks a handful of people to entertain a bunch of kids and pass out candy.

Guess what Terry spent his Halloween doing.

Dick and Tim also got me as well. I was trying to sneak up on Babs when they jumped out from behind her door and sprayed me with shaving cream.

My grandkids pretended not to know me.

Also, when I got home, I found out that someone had TP'd our house. I'm not sure who it was, but I'm sure that it was someone in the League.

I also hear that members of the Green Arrow movement painted the Council room green. I bet Clark's pissed about that.

By the way, Kara told me that Helena's the one who put up the GA Movement website.

Helena, why are you helping those idiots?

Are you doing it just to irritate Clark? If you are, you're doing a damned good job. I do have a suggestion though. You should add a message board onto the site.

Barbara

P.S.

What does Vic think of all this?

I'm doing this because it's funny. I can't let the boys have all the fun. How could I miss an opportunity to piss off Clark?

The message board's a good idea, I'll get one up. Dinah also has some sound files that she wants me to upload onto the site too.

As for Vic, he thinks it's all a conspiracy to subvert the government. He's afraid that the GA Movement will become a proto-Communist third party. He doesn't believe me when I tell him that the whole thing's a joke. (At least I hope it is.)

By the way, how's Wally's Crusade against Bruce going? I haven't heard anything out of them for a while.

STUPID BRUCE!

He sent all those dirty magazines over to me! And Linda found them!

And boy, is she pissed.

I gotta go, I'm supposed to be banned from my computer. That bastard's going to pay.

This "war" is really starting to grate on my nerves. Apparently Wally (at Ollie's suggestion) put Bruce's name on the subscription of several pornographic magazines. Now, Bruce has sent all of them (plus some in Wally's name) to our house.

I banned Wally from the computer for the next week. I know this won't stop all of the mischief, but it should hopefully cut down the level of intensity.

I swear, I married a monkey.

As for Clark (no offense Lois), I'm going to kill him simply because he keeps encouraging the Terrible Two (Wally and Ollie) with his stupid Daily Service Announcements.

Stupid Bruce, this bites. Linda's banned me from the computer for the next week. That damned Bastard is going to pay for this. If only I had my computer…

Hey! I just had a great idea. Well, sort of. I can write the letter on paper, it's just getting it to the location that will be the problem. The Amazons have this dumb rule that men can't go on their island. That's okay, I have two granddaughters.

Hmm, what should I write? I guess I should do a rough draft first. Let's see…

Dear Diana…

Fellow Leaguers,

We are glad to announce the capture of the Virgil Hawkin's clone. Please congratulate Static Shock, Gear and War Hawk on a job well done.

Also, because of Gear's involvement in solving this case, the Council has voted to overlook his questionable music playing on Halloween if no such further instances occur.

And also, the Green Arrow Movement MAY NOT meet in the mess hall. The Council has requested that all current members disband the group. There may be unfortunate consequences if this fails to happen.

On another note, the culprits who painted the Council Room have been placed on probation.

Have a nice day.
