A SPLAININ FOR "SPLAININ"

During one of their 'Warehouse 13' cases, former Secret Service agent Pete Latimer said to his partner, Mika Barry: "Lucy, you got some splaining to do."

I doubt there's a person on Earth who doesn't know the origins of that line. Cuban-born band-leader Ricky Ricardo would say that to his wife whenever he found out that Lucy had been up to her usual shenanigans.

We can keep the "Inner Toobworld" connected to 'I Love Lucy' and yet still remain Zonk-free. It's pozz'ble, just pozz'ble, that Ricky Ricardo eventually wrote a book about his "Life with Lucy", and he chose that phrase to be its title. Within the realm of Toobworld, the autobiography of a "Cuban Pete" might seem to be an acquired taste, but Pete Latimer is the type of guy who would acquire it.

Chic-chic-a-boom, Chic-chic-a-boom, Chic-chic-a-boom !

BCnU!
