Luke came back to Brad and Chris after conducting reconnaissance on the new guy.
Chris so called it.
He was all the same age, from Massachusetts, also an underwear model like Brad and Chris, and in the middle of a shoot as a body double for Macho Man the movie. He was playing the construction worker for the stripper scenes as the actor can’t keep his weight in check. Of all things, his name was Harry.
Brad then said he thought it would be almost funny if Harry’s last name was Lucille or Spotter.
Two a m a z i n g women were born today.
The other is my older sister. (Happy Birthday!)

69 years ago today (October 15, 1951) the first episode of I Love Lucy starring Lucille Ball was released.
It’s hard to argue that Lucille Ball left an immense impact the entertainment industry, and even current American culture as a whole. She was the first woman to head a television program, and she was brazen in her commentary about the societal norms and traditional gender roles at the time. Her show was an instant success and won over 25 awards, including 5 Emmy awards. She eventually became the first woman to own a major production studio.
It’s important to remember influential women like Lucille Ball, to not only remember what she did for the world, but to remember that it is possible to challenge these societal norms with media. Her legacy isn’t only encapsulated in what she did for the world, it is also in the inspiration she gave to others wishing to do the same.
