kusuo is a smell autistic. the most important sensory thing for him is the way things do or dont smell.

New Addition (Maxwell x MC)

A Maxwell and MC fic. I haven’t written for Maxy boy in a while so...this’ll be fun.

I usually don’t put a plot for One Shots because I like the suspense and the surprise of it for you guys so...Enjoy lovely people!

“Uh oh! I think I hear the....” Maxwell draws out the last word, hand raised with fingers spread out above a wriggling body on the bed.

“NO!” the little girl yells through her giggles, but Maxwell only nods, a grin splitting his cheeks.

“TICKLE MONSTER!” he screams, his large hand falling and covering the girl’s tummy with his fingers tickling her sides. 

The little girl shrieks, laughing and screaming, and takes in gulps of air whenever she has the chance. Maxwell pulls his hand back up to give her a break, but not for long. He glances at her bare feet, an look she doesn’t notice as she finishes off a round of laughter.

“I think the Tickle Monster is hungry for...feet!” he shouts, hand now going to that part of her body. She can’t even yell out for him to stop in time, falling into yet another bought of insane giggling and screaming laughter.

A toddler crying in the next room brings Maxwell and the little girl to a stop. They look at each other with wide eyes. The little girl’s mouth forms an “O” shape and Maxwell puts a finger against his lips. They stay quiet for a moment, hoping the crying will stop. When it seems like it does, Maxwell lets out a breath of air.

“Whew, that was close!” he exclaims, a bit too loudly, and the crying starts up again.

“Maxwell!” he hears his wife yell as she walks down the hallway, toward the upset baby. He grimaces at the sharp tone of her voice and the little girl laughs at him.

“Oh, you think that’s funny, do you?” he asks, hand raising once more. She shakes her head wildly, eyes even bigger than before. “I guess I should really give you something to laugh about,” he says, as he dives down to tickle her again, receiving more giggles in response.

A throat clearing in the doorway forces him to stop and look up, sheepishly. His wife is standing there, a red faced toddler rubbing his still tired eyes resting on her hip, with a brow raised at him. He swallows and looks to his daughter for help, who avoids his pleading gaze.

Looking back towards Daisy, he tries to explain. “We were just-”

“Just waking up your son who’d finally fallen asleep after being up since 3 a.m.?” she finishes for him, halfheartedly glaring at her husband.

Maxwell rubs the back of his head, “It wasn’t on purpose,” he mumbles.

She sighs, “It never is, Max,” she tells him and steps into the room, walking over to him. “Here, since he’s up and you’re the one that did it, you can watch him.” 

Maxwell reaches out to take his son and then points at his daughter, still avoiding him. “She woke him up, too!” he exclaims and Daisy rolls her eyes.

“She’s also only 4 and a half. And I need her for something anyway,” she replies, giving their daughter a wink. Maxwell’s eyebrows crinkle in confusion at the action.

“What do you need her for?” he asks and Daisy shrugs.

“Nothing important. But we do need to get out of here soon, so,” she claps her hands, “Go get your shoes on, peanut. I’ll meet you downstairs in just a minute and we can go. Okay?”

“Okay!” their daughter replies and starts wiggling to get off of the bed. Daisy reaches out and helps her, grabbing the top parts of her arms as she slides to the ground. When her feet touch the hardwood, Daisy lightly taps her bottom and she runs out of the room, nearly hitting the door frame as she passes it.

Daisy shakes her head and turns back to her husband, who’s blowing raspberries back and forth with their son. 

“Okay, so, we have to go into town for a little while, but we shouldn’t be long. Archie, here,” she taps the toddler’s nose and he laughs at her, “needs a snack and a bath.” She scrunches her nose at him and he reaches out to touch it, a thing they’ve done since he was old enough to realize those things at the ends of his arms could do stuff. She grabs his hand before he makes contact and kisses it.

“Snack and bath. Alright,” Maxwell says, smiling affectionately at the interaction between mother and son.

Daisy looks at him, releasing their son’s hand and pushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “And there’s a load of laundry that needs to get done because it has some clothes in there that I want both of them to wear tomorrow.”

“What’s tomorrow? And don’t we have people to do our laundry already?” he asks.

She shrugs before answering, “We do, but I don’t want our kids to get used to people just doing things for them all of the time. They need to learn to fend for themselves and they will learn that by watching mommy and daddy do it,” she looks at their son, “Isn’t that right, Archie baby?” The toddler nods at her question, making his parents laugh.

“And there’s a birthday party tomorrow for one of the noble’s kids that I apparently RSVP’d to and don’t remember doing,” she adds, a moment later.

“Oh, right. Okay. Yeah, I’ll get the laundry done. Anything else?” he asks and she bites her bottom lip as she thinks.

“No, I think that’s about it. By the time you get Archie taken care of and the laundry done, Charlotte and I should be back,” she finally responds and Maxwell tries not to sigh in relief, although it’s clear in his eyes.

She smirks at him before leaning forward and kissing their son on the forehead. “Be good for daddy while I’m gone, okay? Put your food in your belly, not everywhere else. And rubber duckies go in the bath, not daddy’s phone. You got it?”

“Got it, mama!” he chimes and she ruffles the hair on top of his head.

Turning to Maxwell, she pokes a finger into his chest, “And no using regular dish washing soap in the washing machine. We have perfectly good detergent in there that you can use. I can’t clean up another mess like that again,” she tells him.

“That was one time! And you know those bottles look very similar in color,” he defends himself.

“There’s like a 2 gallon difference!”

Maxwell lifts up one shoulder, “In hindsight, I can see how that would be a good indicator that it wasn’t detergent.”

Daisy rolls her eyes and then kisses her husband, who uses his free arm to wrap around her waist and pull her closer to him. His hand rests on her lower back and, even though their son’s foot is wedged between them, it doesn’t stop him from deepening the kiss. When they finally pull away, because of their son shoving a hand in their faces, both of them are breathless.

“Come home, soon, okay?” Maxwell says, moving his hand to lightly cup her cheek.

She nods and he kisses her forehead before letting her go. She walks to the door, turning to wave at them, before going out and down the hallway. He hears her feet on the stairs and her voice as she talks to their daughter, too low to understand what is being said. Once he hears the front door shut, he looks at his son in his arms.

“Guess we’ve got a lot to do before mommy comes back. Let’s get started, champ,” he says, as he makes his way to the kitchen to find something for his son to eat.

A few hours later, Maxwell is lounging across a couch in the living room with a half asleep toddler lying on his chest. Some t.v. show is playing, but Maxwell isn’t entirely invested in it. His attention is on the little boy on top of him and the story he was asked to tell.

“And then, as the mean trolls attacked the party, the beautiful princess managed to escape. The jester found her the next morning, and he was so relieved. He’d spent the whole night scared that he would never see her again or hear her laughter as he made a fool of himself just for her. He was worried that she’d never know how much he cared about her. So, when he got the chance, he told her all about his fear for her and the love he had only, and all, for her. He proposed to her, right there on the forest floor and, to his great surprise, she said yes! He was the happiest he had every been and, even though it wasn’t always easy, the beautiful princess and the foolish jester lived happily ever after. The end.”

Maxwell sits still for a moment after finishing the story, wondering if the toddler really has gone to sleep. A quick, and careful, glance shows the boy’s eyes are closed and his breathing has evened out. Smiling to himself, he tries to turn his attention to the t.v., but the front door creaking open and a crashing sound following immediately after makes it impossible.

It also wakes the toddler on his chest, making him jerk and nearly head-butt his father in the chin, and Maxwell fights the frustrated groan in his throat. Tilting his head towards the noise, he hears a “shhh!” sound, followed by some whispering that he cann’t quite make out.

“Daisy?” he calls out, patting his son’s back in a weak attempt at getting him to go back to sleep.

More whispering and then small feet come pattering into the room. His daughter stops just in front of him and he raises his brows in a questioning look.

“Everything okay out there?” he asks her, and she nods.

“Is mommy okay?” Another nod.

“Does she need any help?” This time, she quickly shakes her head. 

Hm. “What was that noise earlier?’ he questions, shifting to a sitting position when it becomes apparent that his son was not going back to sleep any time soon.

“It was nothing! Mommy just knocked down a vase,” she answers, but the sharp way she says it makes him suspicious.

“A vase, huh? Maybe I should go help her then...” he goes to set the toddler onto the ground when his daughter hurries to him. 

“No! You can’t go!” she yells and Maxwell tries not to smile.

“If she knocked down a vase then there’s glass everywhere and she could hurt herself. I need to go help her,” he tells her.

His daughter shakes her head, “It wasn’t a vase, daddy! It was a...uh...a....”

He waits for her to come up with a response, but she only opens and closes her mouth a few times before giving up. He stands up, taking his son with him and starts heading in the direction of the crashing sound. His daughter runs after him, attaching herself to his leg and going limp just as he reaches the entrance of the hallway.

“No, daddy, you can’t go yet! You have to stay here,” she whines and he pauses in the doorway. He looks down at her and chuckles.

“I know you’re tough little peanut, but you can’t stop me. Maybe I need to call the Tickle Monster to help me get you off my leg,” he threatens, raising his hand up and her eyes widen in both amusement and fear.

“Not the Tickle Monster! I’ll let go, daddy! Don’t call him,” she begs, hands falling from around his leg.

“Monster!” his son yells, clapping his hands before using them to reach for his sister.

Maxwell laughs at him, “Not this time, bud. Looks like sissy gets a free pass for now,” he says, before he continues walking to the source of the sound.

He makes it to the door and, finding no evidence of anything having happened, he starts to search elsewhere. His daughter trails behind him, an apprehensive look on her face and a finger in her mouth.

After looking in a few rooms and coming up empty, he walks into the kitchen. He first notices the balloons floating throughout the room, blue and pink ones with a few pale yellows mixed in. His eyes then find his wife, standing at a counter with an open pink box in front of her and a tube of white icing in her hand. Her back is to them and he motions to his children to stay quiet. By some miracle, they do, and he inches his way in until he is right behind her.

“You can’t possibly think that I can’t recognize when someone is trying to stall for time,” he says, suddenly, and Daisy shrieks, quickly turning around. A hand comes up to her chest and she closes her eyes.

“Jeez, Maxwell, you scared me!” she says and then opens her eyes. “I thought you were busy,” she continues, giving a pointed look to their daughter.

“Monster!” their son pipes up and Daisy rolls her eyes.

“The Tickle Monster? You used the Tickle Monster to bypass our daughter?” she questions, turning her attention to her husband.

“I used whatever I had at my advantage to see what you two are hiding and I am not ashamed of it,” he tells her, leaning up to try to get a glimpse of the contents of the box before she places a hand over his eyes.

“It’s a surprise! You can’t see it yet, especially since we had a little accident and it’s currently one gigantic mess. I’m trying to fix it,” she replies and he pulls away from her hand.

“In case you don’t know, I’m one gigantic mess a majority of the time. Me and whatever you’ve got behind you are two peas in a pod, I promise. Just show me,” he reasons and she sighs. 

“Okay, but it’s not that pretty,” she warns, turning her body to the side. He frowns as he steps past her, finally seeing what she had been trying to keep from him.

Inside the box was a layered sheet cake, with white icing covering it. In one corner of the cake was a baby stroller and diaper bag and another corner had a rattle and bottle, all made out of fondue. He can see where it has crumbled in places and been patched with thick globs of icing in others. None of that was what really drew his attention, however. It was the sonogram picture in the middle of the cake, a teeny tiny speck visible in the image with a box around the dot and the word “BABY!” typed out beside it. 

Maxwell takes a moment to process what he was seeing before turning to look at his wife. She’d put her the tip of her thumb in her mouth, faintly smiling, as she looked at him, worriedly.

“Is this for real?” he asks and she nods.

He looks down at her belly and back up to her eyes, “You’re pregnant?” She nods again.

“And it’s mine?” he asks and she hits his arm. “Ow! I was just kidding!” he says and she crosses her arms.

“You’re really pregnant?” he questions, one more time, just to be sure. 

Daisy rolls her eyes, “Yes, Maxwell. I’m really pregnant,” she confirms and he grins. He wraps his free arm around her and pulls her to him, squeezing her tight.

“We’re having another baby!” he yells and Daisy laughs. Their daughter, not one to be left out, joins in on the hug.

When they finally pull away from each other, Maxwell remembers something, “What was that crash from earlier?’ he asks and Daisy sighs.

“It was just this cute coffee cup that said ‘Dad x3′ but it fell out of the bag. I was going to give that to you first, watch you be confused, and then show you the cake. Didn’t work out though,” she answers and Maxwell looks around at all of them.

“I don’t know, I think things have worked out pretty well for us,” he tells her and she smiles at him, putting her arms around him and tucking into his side.

“Monster! Monster! Monster!” their son yells and his parents and sister laugh at him.

“Oh, you want the Tickle Monster?” Maxwell asks, lifting up a hand.

“Yes! Yes! Monster!” 

“Okay, but I think the Tickle Monster is hungry for....mommy!” Maxwell shouts, tickling Daisy and making her yelp in laughter and surprise. She retaliates by tickling Maxwell and their son, only to get tickled on her leg by their daughter. Soon, the kitchen is full of laughter and screams of mercy from all of the Tickle Monsters.

To some, it could be too chaotic, too loud, too much. But for Maxwell and Daisy, it was perfect and they couldn’t wait to add another one to their crazy fun life.

Slimer watched the sad clown join H.P. Lovecraft as he was chatting up Captian Marvel. Behind us, drunk furries chased each other. This is the sort of thing that can really only happen at ConCoction.

I got out of work later than last year but still had hopes that i could make the opening cermemoniesif I stepped on it. When I rushed into the Bertrem I saw to my dismay that the line for registration was almost out the door. A man worked the line with a bowl of choclates, handing out Dove mins to everyone.

“Long line triggered the candy bonus,” he explained.

I got my badge too late to make the Opening ceremonies so I headed back to the car to pull on my Ghostbusters coveralls. I shrugged the proton pack on and tossed the gloves and goggles into the monkey head. I noticed that breathing was difficult due to the poor ventlation in the large mask and didn’t want to get into it until I’d gotten inside the building. Knightmage sotted me as I was wandering in and headed over to greet me and look over the costume.

“Tracy the Gorilla,” he said shaking his head. “Man, that’s obscure. Did you just see the monkey head and think Tracy?”

“It was in the back of my mind,” I admitted. “But a gorilla suit is also one of those things you should just HAVE in your closet – like a little black dress.”

Tracy of course was the third member of the original Ghostbusters from the 1975 TV show  starring Larry Storch (Who I met a year or so ago) and Forrest Tucker. When Filmation made thier Ghostbusters cartoon, they stated that the characters were the grandsons of Storch and Tucker, but that Tracy was the same gorilla. I wanted to mash it up so I decided to up Tracy in a proton pack and coveralls from the ’84 movie (though I added a t-shirt with the filmation logo under it, one extra touch), integrating him into the  Columbia Ghostbusters as well. ‘Mage circled me to check out the pack as I pinted out the christmas lights and laundry detergant caps  that made up the prop. He laughed as I excused myself to head inside.

Living inside the Gorilla head was similar to wearing Mr. Freeze. I had to keep moving to keep circulation going in the mask otherwise air would get stagnant. I was right to make Concoction the premire for this suit though – it’s one of the few places that would really get the gag, and boy did they. I caught my buddy Jason as well as connecting with Nicole and spotting Annye and her husband Zeke on the other side ofthe hall. Wandering in to the art show I head Vanessa’s voice pipe up “I know who’s in that costume!”. It’s always good to be at Concoction. Much like Cinema Wasteland, it’s home. Even if there’s no familiar faces around, yo ucan talk to anyone. It’s one of those very few places where the words “Mind if I share your table?” dosen’t fill me with dread. I ate with strangers several times in the con suite chatting abotu the day and the goings on. In the corner, a rack full of battered old sci-fi paperbacks was available to browse. That’s one of those things I love about Concoction – the books. That heavy literary focus helps it feel a lot like the Star Trek conventions of the 80’s. Roger Zelazney ut it best in Nine princes in Amber – “It makes me feel comfortable and secure to have walls of words, beautiful and wise, all around me. I always feel better when I can see that there is something to hold back the shadows.”

I had my own book with me, a copy of my battered old “Dreams ofthe Raven” by Carmen Carter, but honestly, I barely touched it. During lunch, my table mate and I listened to the energetic conversation going on next to us.

“See, Scooby Doo dosen’t ever interact with anyone else on the team.  That’s because he dosen’t actually talk – it’s just that Shaggy is high off his gord the entire time! And anyone who thinks Daphne and Fred are together is nuts. Fred is asexual – he’s totally oblivious. Daphane is one of those spoiled rich girls – she’s just there to play with him and break his heart. He looked like someone she could manipulate like that. But man, she HATES Shaggy…”

The volume occasionally elevated to near shouting. I looked over at my tablemate. Like mine, her eyes were wide in disbelief behind her tablet.

“This is the best panel of the weekend!”

Back in the actual programming, I sat in on Knightmage’s Cosplaying for Charity panel. Halfway he paused to shake his head laughing at me, sitting in the back.

“The gorllia just keeps…STARING at me!”

“I can fix that!” I exclaimed and brought down the Ecto Goggles, covering the unblinking gorilla eyes.

“That’s not better!”

As the evening wore on I wandered over to the comedy showcase. Concoction is the only other convention I know of besides Monster Bash that includes stand up comedy and I always dig it. Two of the comics were late so the host kept us entertained with cat videos on  the projector. About twenty minuets late, the set started. I whipped out my camera hoping to livestream the set (So I could save it later) but once t he material began to involve graphic depictions of The Simpsons knocking boots, I thought better of it. The show started to slow down with the second preformer.

“You know what? Let’s talk about some stuff that you guys are intrested in. What do you want to talk about?”

He pointed at me. I comically looked behind me, making sure he wasn;t refrecing another gorilla. and then pointed to myself in exaggerated motions.

“Me?”

“Sure!” What do you want to talk about? Bananas?”

“That’s a very hurful stereotype,” I deadpanned. The room lost it.

Before I snuck out later the host walked by me and clapped me on the shoulder, telling me I got the biggest laugh of the night.

After five hours in the monkey suit I’d had enough and shed the Ghostbuster look before returning to catch the Confused Greenies do improv games. I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay fo the Saturday night show so I wanted to make sure I got to this one. They started out with a skit about aliens arriving on earth during Carnivale, then went into Whoose line type comedy. Close to midnight, I decided wisdom was the better part of valor, and popped out early, skipping the barfleet party to brave the hour drive back home.

I was back around ten the next day, this time clad in my cumbersonme Slimer costume.I always seem to do themes at Concoction. It’s something that was coincidental at first but now has pretty much become intentional. As much as I like Tracy, I didn’t feel good about entering him in the costume contest. He’s mostly assembled. It’s a wierd assembly, but other than the proton pack, feet  and googles it’s all stuff I bought. Slimer on the other hand, is 100% made from scratch -and he’s not been out nearly as much as I’d like. Still, Slimer wasn’t the costume I was really looking foreward to. I couldn’t wait to see my friend Annye’s Iron Marvel. She’d crafted the Captian Marvel suit out of foam insted of leather and the result was nothing short of spectacular.

We were stked to discover that Guy Allen was set up again in the Annex and headed over there to get some professional photos done (I so rarely get that opprutunity).

I managed to catch some of Jim O’Rear’s panel on horror before stopping over at his table and getting my Dawn of the Dead poster signed. He asked me if I was a Romero fan. I nodded. O’Rear expanded on how Romero was such an influence on him.

“Man, I saw Night of the Living Dead, and it changed everything for me. I was like – this. I can get into this.”

O’Rear ended up at the table with Jason, Tina and me for lunch.

Saturday consisted of the Doctor Who panel,  the costume contests and picking up dragons for the kids. I made sure to grab a photo with Mogchelle who was dressed as Sabrina – my daughter Maddie is a huge Sabrina fan and just discovered the old mangas coming off the new TV show. I found her an old Archie with Sabrinia in it as well. Even the Cat got something. I found an adorable catnip Cthulu for Sparky. It was to my great reluctance that I had to cut out early, but Clue was screening at the Cedar Lee at 9:30 with a live shadow cast and I couldn’t miss it. But I’ll tell you this much; I’ll be back at Concoction next year!

Cat Bed

Devoted cat proprietors will go to nearly any lengths to ensure the comfort and happiness of their expensive feline. As you may possibly envision, choosing the ideal cat mattress for these supreme creatures of comfort is an essential determination. Offering the right bed will not only make for a happier cat, it will also decrease the odds of obtaining your wonderful, long-haired calico napping on your favorite black sweater.

Lucy Buys a Boat

S1;E30 ~ April 29, 1963

Synopsis

Lucy talks Viv into buying a boat that's barely seaworthy. When they finally get it on the lake, it slips away from its moorings, trapping a seasick Viv and a bossy Lucy without a sail. Then the leaks start springing up!

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carmichael), Vivian Vance (Vivian Bagley), Jimmy Garrett (Jerry Carmichael), Ralph Hart (Sherman Bagley), Candy Moore (Chris Carmichael)

This was the last episode of season one. It was also the last episode filmed in black and white. It is, however, not the last episode aired in black and white as CBS declined to air season two in color.

This is the only episode this season to only feature the main cast.  

This was intended to be the last episode of “The Lucy Show.” Lucy only came back to TV because Desilu couldn't sell their other shows without a hit. This series was used to leverage the sales of other Desilu programs. Lucille Ball was also concerned that one season of shows would not sell well in markets that showed daily repeats (“stripping”) as the program would only be worth one month of daily viewings if shown every weekday. “I Love Lucy” would last a station nine months of daily stripping. 

The episode was filmed on March 28, 1963. 

The original airing included commercials for Lux soap, Pepsodent toothpaste, Wisk laundry detergent, and Jell-O gelatin. There was also voice over promo for “Password” (Lucille Ball’s favorite game show) which aired at 10pm Mondays. That evening, the guest was Arthur Godfrey. Coincidentally, during the early 1950s, “I Love Lucy” was promoted by “The Arthur Godfrey Show,” which aired in the time slot just before it. 

Ad in The Danfield Tribune:

Answer the call of the seven seas!  An unforgettable adventure for your whole family! For sale: 26 foot sailboat, sleeps 5, large galley, complete with trailer, only $100 down.  

Lucy and Viv normally take a cottage by the lake during the summer. Lucy says when she was a little girl she practically “lived on boats.” Lucy may be referring to Chautauqua Lake, which is adjacent to Jamestown, New York, Lucy Carmichael's hometown.

Lucy says she bought it with the hull in the water so she didn't notice the shape the boat was in.  She adds that she didn't have Lloyd Bridges with her. Lloyd Bridges was the star of “Sea Hunt” (1958-1961), a TV series about a scuba diver which featured extensive underwater filming. Bridges played a doctor on the season five opener of “Here’s Lucy” in 1972. He was previously mentioned in “Lucy and Viv Put in a Shower” (S1;E18).

Posing at the prow, Lucy insists she bought the boat from its original owner, Viv sarcastically says “I wonder if he was standing where you are when he discovered America?”  Viv is, of course, referring to Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), whose three ships are said to have been the first to travel to the ‘New World’ (aka the Americas) in 1492. Columbus's legacy continues to be debated. He was widely venerated in the centuries after his death, but public perceptions have changed as recent scholars have given greater attention to negative aspects of his life, such as his enslavement of the indigenous population and his brutal subjugation of the Taíno people, as well as allegations of tyranny towards Spanish colonists. Lucy Carter talked extensively about Columbus in “Lucy Competes with Carol Burnett” (HL S2;E24, above) during the Secretary Beautiful Pageant. 

Viv refers to a bossy Lucy as Captain Bligh. William Bligh was a real-life British Admiral who was in charge of the HMS Bounty when a mutiny set him adrift in 1789. His story was related in many films, including one in 1962.  

Viv references the fact that she was once a WAVE, a navy organization of women during World War II. This was first established in “Lucy Becomes an Astronaut” (S1;E6).  

Lucy gets a telephone call from a Mr. Hussey at the marina. This may be a reference to actress Ruth Hussey, who did the film The Facts of Life (above) with Lucille Ball in 1960.  Along with Ethel Merman, Hussey starred in a pilot aired as part of “Vacation Playhouse”, the summer 1963 replacement for “The Lucy Show.”  

Lucy says that Viv has brought enough seasickness pills for the Queen Mary.

Lucy is referring to the RMS Queen Mary, an ocean liner launched in 1934 for the Cunard Line. The ship was officially retired from service in 1967 and is now permanently berthed in Long Beach, California, serving as a tourist attraction, museum, and hotel.

When Viv dons her life jacket while still docked Lucy calls her “chicken of the sea.” 

Chicken of the Sea is a provider of packaged seafood, primarily canned tuna. Their television commercials were ubiquitous throughout the 1960s. In 1963, the year this episode aired, the company was sold to Ralston Purina.

While preparing her dinner on board, Lucy sings a bit of “Sailing, Sailing (Over the Bounding Main)” a folk song first composed in 1880 by James Swift (aka Godfrey Marks). The music (sans lyrics) was extensively used as underscoring during “Bon Voyage” (ILL S5;E13) in 1956 when Lucy misses the SS Constitution headed for Europe.  

Once again, faced with the boat's tiny bunks Viv gets claustrophobic. This was established in “Lucy Becomes an Astronaut” (S1;E6). In real life, it was Lucille Ball who suffered from the condition.  

Nautical Vocabulary!

VIV: “I’m afraid I’m just a landlubber at heart.”

Landlubber ~ Lubber is an old word (dating from the 14th century) meaning a clumsy or stupid person. The term landlubber refers to an unseasoned sailor.

VIV: “I’ll bet this is the first time anybody’s been shanghaied on a lake.” 

Shanghaied ~ force someone to join a ship lacking a full crew by coercion or other underhanded means. 

JERRY (to LUCY): “You’d better give us a rest, or you are going to have your first mutiny.”

Mutiny ~ an open rebellion against the proper authorities, especially by soldiers or sailors against their officers. The most famous in popular culture was in Mutiny on the Bounty, so Jerry is continuing the analogy of Lucy to Captain Bligh. 

VIV (to LUCY): “Oh, go shiver yer timbers.” 

"Shiver Me Timbers" ~ is an exclamation usually attributed to the speech of pirates in works of fiction. The word ‘shiver’ means “to break into small fragments or splinters” while the ‘timbers’ refer to the wooden support frames of old sailing ships. So the saying was most likely alluding to the shock of a large wave or cannonball causing the hull to shudder or split asunder.

LUCY (into telephone): “We’ve been working on her for days and she’s really yar!”

Yar ~ When a boat is trim, responsive, and in all ways lively in handling. In The Philadelphia Story (1940), Kate Hepburn’s character famously says about a boat “My, she was yar!” 

Fast Forward!

A scene from this episode was included in “Lucy and Viv Reminisce” (S6;E16), the series’ only clips episode. 

In “Lucy in London” (1966) Lucy Carmichael’s leaky raft sinks her and her Captain (Anthony Newley) right in the middle of the River Thames.  Instead of being filmed on a soundstage, the special was done on location in the icy waters of the Thames in London. 

In “Lucy Runs The Rapids” (HL S2;E4), Lucy Carter’s sleeping bag gets dragged out into the middle of the Colorado River and slowly sinks under the weight of the water!  Again, this was filmed on location, not in a studio. 

Callbacks!

A leaky raft also sank Lucy and Desi in the feature film Forever Darling (1956).

A leaky boat was part of the comic finale of “Lucy's Summer Vacation,” a 1959 episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” about a visit to fictional Lake Wotchasokapoo, Vermont.

The Ricardos and the Mertzes were also seen on a boat in distress in “Desert Island” (ILL S6;E8) where the group goes motor boating off the coast of Florida but runs out of gas.

The set for the boat was constructed on a gimbal - an elevated platform that could be manipulated for back and forth motion. The same construction was used to shake the set of One Oak Cabins in “First Stop” (ILL S4;E14) to replicate the shaking of the building as the train passes by. 

Lucy says “I don't know what's wrong with those bunks. We tried them at home and they're just fine.” This may be callback to “Lucy and Her Electric Mattress” (S1:E12) where Lucy and Viv slept in Sherman and Jerry's bunk beds.  

Viv also had trouble with the bunks when they were quarantined in a space capsule simulator in “Lucy Becomes an Astronaut” (S1;E6).

Lucy trying to fix dinner in a moving galley is reminiscent of a similar sequence in the 1953 film The Long, Long Trailer.

In this episode, Viv takes too many sea sickness pills and gets drowsy. On the “Staten Island Ferry” (ILL S5;E12) it was Lucy who took too many pills - resulting in her almost missing out on getting her passport!  To assure this won’t happen on her transatlantic crossing, during “Bon Voyage” (ILL S5;E13) Lucy’s mother gives her a jumbo sized bottle of sea sickness pills! 

This is yet another episode where Vivian Vance eats a banana!  Ethel Mertz also ate one during “Bon Voyage” (ILL S5;E13), snacking on the contents of Lucy’s fruit basket! 

Blooper Alerts!

Timing is Every...{crash}...Thing! When Lucy and Viv run the boat mast into a window in the French doors, there's obviously no glass in the window. The glass shattering sound is a bit delayed.

Ripples v Waves! Lucy says they are adrift on an inland lake, but unless there's a violent storm the severe pitching of the boat would be unusual for lake waters. If you look closely, you can see that Lucy’s plate of meatballs is actually on tiny casters. Naturally, meatballs were chosen because they are round and would roll!  One of the meatballs does fall on the floor (see above photo) but Lucille Ball either doesn’t notice or decided it was not worth trying to rescue, let alone stop shooting. 

Hats Off to Lucy!  During the stunt with the sliding deck chair, Lucy's hat falls off.
