women drivers

My daughter passed her DMV driver's test — the written one — today. So begins the behind-the-wheel years for my baby girl. (sounding old): Where does the time go? I know her so well, yet have no idea what kind of new driver she'll be. I suppose it's a great opportunity to learn even more about her ... while enduring a severe nervous breakdown in the process!


Being a child of 70s TV, my brain naturally flash-backed to this classic Brady Bunch episode. The one in which we learn our beloved Greg Brady is, in fact, a male chauvinist pig. He's about as lame as he can be during the entire show, so it's really nice when Marcia gets the last laugh at the end. (We all knew Greg would crush the egg in the obstacle course!) And what's with the icky stepbrother flirts with stepsister dialogue? Eww, Greg. Please, don't go there!

I'm gone, gone!

 Ralph: What do you know about fishing? When have you ever caught anything?

Alice: Fifteen years ago. I caught 300 pounds of blubber.

I love Ed Norton and what he did for my career. But the truth is that we couldn't have been more different. Norton was the total extrovert, there was no way you could put down his infectious good humor. Me? I'm a loner and a worrier.

Lucy vs. Bill Holden

Lucy: He'll listen to you, Ricky. You tell thim that I have a wonderful plan that won't cost him a cent.



Ricky: My scatterbrained wife has another half-witted scheme and if you listen to it you're out of your mind.



Lucy: Boy, did I suffer in that translation.
