Road Runner Posted December 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted December 2, 2018 Why was Ethel best friends with Lucy? Lucy was always dragging Ethel into her plans and schemes and they were always designed to benefit Lucy, never Ethel. Not once did Lucy cook up a hair-brained scheme to help or bolster Ethel's desires. And Ethel was married to Fred. I'm pretty sure Ethel's life sucked a whole lot more than Lucy's. Lucy could have come up with a plan for Ethel to kill Fred, collect his insurance and become the new apartment building owner. Even if Ethel had gone to prison, it would have been better than being married to Fred. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in the 60's and 70's, you had to wait for an attendant to come out and pump it for you. They would slosh gasoline all over my just waxed finish. Bastards.

No there were other good shows. There was this documentary about these people stranded on a island after a disastrous three hour tour and another about this family that lived with dinosaurs and drove foot powered cars.

Both the ones I have to deal with in the morning are miserable fucks. I miss the one good-natured, upbeat, friendly one from a station that is oot of the way now.
