Episode Nine "Men Are Messy" First Aired DECEMBER 3, 1951

I apologize ahead of time that I haven't been up to date with postings. I have been really busy and on vacation so I haven't really had much time! Especially during the school year you will also find the inconsistency of the blog postings as well.

I really like this episode!!! It used to be one of my absolute favorites.

It starts out with Lucy getting the house in such a clean manner, nothing out of place, but when Ricky comes home things drastically change.

1. Takes newspapers and magazines out of drawers and scatters them around
2. Takes off his Cardigan sweater and throws it on the ground
3. When he eats nuts and fruit the remains he tosses on the ground as well

When Lucy comes in to find the house a once again shamble she decides to divide the house in two LITERALLY! She took some tape or string (Couldn't tell which) and marks a line down the room. Everything on Lucy's side is clean and sparkly and everything on Ricky's is......well......."A Pig's Pen" After watching this episode yourself you will see the difficulties of the house divide like.....

• Answering the phone, when the phone is "on the line"
• getting out the door when the front door is on the other person's side
• eating with the kitchen.......you get the picture

They keep this up for about a day I assume, but when Ricky calls from the club and says that a photographer from what Lucy thinks is from "Half Beat magazine" but is really from "Look" magazine he tells her to get the house all clean. When Lucy and Ethel hear about this they have other plans.

 I am really sorry I can't find any short clips of this episode from YouTube like I normally do, but if any of you find any from "Men are Messy" let me know so I can post it.

Enjoy!
