	No. Wrong decade, wrong band. I usually try not to post much past 1985.

	The first was when the Ricardos wanted to be let out of their lease, and became obnoxious tenants. Ricky did a band rehearsal in the living room. (The Mertzes sold tickets to it.) When the Mertzes got home, Lucy recommended this dance- the Mexican Hat Dance. Between the 12-piece band and the crowd doing the stomps, the Mertzes ended up with part of the ceiling falling on them. One episode had Lucy being superstitious and into numerology. She blew a deal for Ricky because it was a bad day for his number. She contacted the client, and found out he was also into all of that, and was looking to have a seance performed. Lucy arranged for Ethel to conduct a phony seance in their living room. For a moment. Fred pretended Ethel's medium's name was "Rhea." Lucy pretended to have all sorts of problems to get sympathy. When Ricky caught her, he had a "doctor" (actor Hal Marsh) show up and examine her. She had a fatal illness- the gol-bloots, which travels on the hind legs of the booshoo bird. She should be fine as long as she doesn't turn green.... The gang of 4 got a freezer, and bought meat wholesale. They knew how big a side of pork was (half a pig.) So, they ordered 2 sides (that is, one entire cow's worth of meat.) They tried to sell some of the meat to people to make up some of the money. In fairness, they saved a lot by buying the meat wholesale, but it was a LOT of money to drop at once, even if it was an entire year's worth of meat. The boys and the girls traded places to see who had it harder. The boys cooked and cleaned, the women went to work. Ricky planned to make chicken and rice, and have Fred bake a cake for dessert. Fred didn't seem to know much about rice. Meanwhile, the girls went to work at the factory, wrapping chocolates on an assembly line. During a trip to Europe, a director wanted Lucy for a movie he was working on, called "Bitter Grapes." She decided to go work in a wine vineyard to learn about the role, and ended up stained purple after a fight with anoither worker in the wine vat. But the director had wanted her to play a TOURIST. Since she was stained purple and filming starts tomorrow, he asked Ethel to play the tourist. If you know the series, any number of those episodes will ring a bell... The Mertzes with a chandelier around their necks, the phony seance to contact Tilly, Lucy and the fake diagnosis, Lucy and Ethel with a pram in a butcher's shop, selling to the customers, the ill-fated cooking or the girls working on the assembly line, Lucy fighting in the wine vat.

	That's it. A lot of those were from famous episodes.

	"Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back." "I'm ready." "I brought my pencil! Gimme something to write on, man." "Oh man, I think the clock is slow, man." "What are you doing this weekend?" "I don't feel tardy." "Class dismissed!" "Ooh, yeah!"
 - 
	" 'El Breako the Leaso'?" "Introducing Rhea, the Medium. Well done, Medium Rhea!" "I got the golbloots from a booshoo bird?!" "We may have to remove her Zorch." "How can you sell meat so cheap?" "I'm glad you asked that. We rope, we brand, we butcher. We do everything but eat it for you." "What do you know about rice?" "Well, I had it thrown at me on one of the darkest days in my life." "It's going to be called "Bitter Grapes." I wonder what part they want me for." "Oh, you're probably going to be one of the bunch." "Babalu!"

	Taraji P Henson the Karate Kid Jackie Chan

	He handed it over to me since he was blanking at the moment. (He's also a little busy.) Since I don't have one in mind right now, I'm turning it over for a FREE POST. If I think of something before anyone else, I'll go immediately.

	Wild swing here.... "Django Unchained"?????
 - 
	A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
 - 
	IIRC, it's "Gorillaz" and not "THE Gorillaz", but if you counted the previous post as correct, nobody is counting! "Clint Eastwood", AFAIK, was their first hit. *checks* Get out, they also did a song CALLED "Dirty Harry."

It's unquestionable Human's turn. -

"Russian Chick," by "I Don't Know." - 
	kakourgoi vs. lestai Victor himself said all robbers are criminals but not all criminals are robbers. He solved his own contrived problem. There is no contradiction. It's a word choice. _________________________________________________________________ IIRC, vpw never solved it. He brought up the useless point of all "ROBBERS" being "THIEVES" but not all "thieves" being "robbers." (A thief steals. A robber is a violent thief who accosts you with violence or the threat of violence. A burglar sneaks in and steals. A pickpocket sneaks and takes what's in your pocket. A cutpurse is similar to a pickpocket, but cuts a purse's straps or cuts a hole in the purse. So, all of those are "thieves". Only robbers commit assault and battery, and possibly murder. So, the guys being crucified weren't pickpockets, they were threats to public safety. So, the thieves (who stole by robbery, if anyone actually cares) were, by virtue of criminal actions. "evil-doers" or "malefactors". It's not inaccurate to call them either. It's like calling vpw a plagiarist (which he was) and a thief (because all plagiarists are thieves.) So, duo lestai, two thieves, duo kakourgoi, two evil-doers. If another Gospel had called them 2 robbers, we would have people teaching 6 crosses were up there on Calvary surrounding the main cross. Ultimately, it's NOT IMPORTANT. The cross in the middle was important. The shape and construction weren't the important parts, either. Obsessing over either is missing the main point.
