Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance struggle to keep up with a chocolate conveyer belt in a candy factory, in a 1952 episode of "I Love Lucy". Considered one of the series' most iconic moments.

At 21 and with only a few hundred shillings in his pocket, Schwarzenegger started a bricklaying company with a friend in California. Only they didn't market it as a bricklaying company; they used the term specialty European bricklayers. That way, the group of muscular supermen could pretend they were some sort of rare gourmet business and charge more, when they were actually no different from any other bricklaying business. That was the same year California suffered a rash of mysterious roof cave-ins. He combined that money and what he'd made from bodybuilding competitions to create a mail-order business where he sold T-shirts, books, supplements, and pictures of his biceps. The profits from that were invested and put into property. By the time he appeared in his first movie, at 22, he'd been in the U.S. for only a year and was already a millionaire, which was pretty lucky, considering that the movie was Hercules in New York.

This is the day we were shooting Suicidal Tendencies’ album cover and what would become the collage of kids wearing their Suicidal shirts. Black Flag were doing me a favor by playing, in an effort to get all the kids there for the album pic along with Spot. The gig was at a Suicidal roadie’s grandma’s garage in West L.A., right off the 10 freeway.
