LUCY’S DINING GUIDE
The Restaurants & Eateries of the Lucyverse ~ Part 1
Eating out brought Lucy to a wide variety of dining spots: Sit down restaurants, diners, cafés and lunch counters are all here - in Lucy’s Dining Guide!
The Corner Drugstore ~ “Fred and Ethel Fight” (1952) / “The Gossip” (1952) / “Redecorating” (1952)
Drugstores of the time frequently had lunch counters serving light fare such as ice cream sodas, milk shakes, egg creams, pies, and coffee.
In “Fred and Ethel Fight” Ricky orders a peanut butter and jelly sandwich while Fred orders a grape juice.
The drugstore is seen again in “The Gossip” Fred drinks coffee and Ricky just reads the newspaper. In “Redecorating” Fred orders a double malted from soda jerk Hazel.
Jubilee Club aka The Roof Garden ~ “Lucy Changes Her Mind��� (1953)
The restaurant specializes in steaks, roast beef, and chops (”Pork chops, huh?”) as well as...
...breadsticks! Lucy not only can’t decide where to sit, but what to order.
WAITER: “Now, let's see if I've got this straight. Lamb chops for you, sirloin steak for you, pork chops for you, pork chops for you, and a new eraser for me.”
Corner Coffee Shop ~ “Lucy and Fred Are TV Fans” (1953)
Lucy and Ethel duck into a corner coffee shop to make a phone call. The special of the day is Franks & Potato Salad and Tomato Soup.
The menu board says they serve such diner fare as waffles, corned beef, French dip, Pork & Beans, plate lunch, toasted cheese, pie, and cake. They serve a variety of sandwiches: Roast Beef, Ham & Cheese, Grilled Cheese, and Ham & Lettuce. Don’t forget cigarettes!
French Restaurant ~ “The French Revue” (1953)
Since nobody speaks fluent French, they all end up bluffing and stalling, finally requesting four orders of “closed on Sundays.” The only English on the menu is ‘Acme Printing Company’ (a Union shop, according to Fred).
WAITER: "La specialite de la maison: un petit roti, des petits pois,"
Translation: "The specials of the house are small roast meats, peas, and some sort of fried potatoes."
Italian Restaurant on 39th Street near 8th Avenue ~ “Equal Rights” (1953)
Ricky and Fred order meatballs, spaghetti, pizza, and coffee, with Fred ordering a green salad as well. Lucy and Ethel order steaks with spaghetti on the side. Lucy wants hers medium rare; Ethel orders hers well done. Ricky and Fred shave at the table to teach the girls a lesson about equal rights.
WAITER: “Something more for you? More coffee, dessert ... after-shave lotion?”
When Lucy and Ethel can’t pay their half of the bill, they are forced to wash dishes, giving viewers a look at the restaurant’s kitchen.
Bill’s Place / Little Bit of Cuba / Big Hunk of America ~ “The Diner” (1954)
The gang purchase a neighborhood diner but can’t agree on how to run it.
The Little Bit of Cuba special is a hamburger patty smothered in Tabasco sauce and mashed banana between two tortillas.
RICKY: “We're gonna have arroz con pollo, frijoles, paella, everything.”
Big Hunk of America serves up hamburgers, coffee, hot dogs, hotcakes, and of course pie!
Fred shares some diner lingo.
“Adam and Eve on a raft - wreck 'em!” (scrambled eggs on toast)
“Walk a cow past the stove and don’t cry over it!” (a rare hamburger without onions) or - as Ricky interprets it - “Bring the bull in the ring and laugh in its face!”
“There’s a gambler in the house!” (hash)
“The Diner” and the “The Black Wig” (see below) had their filming and broadcast order switched so that set for Bill’s Diner ended up becoming the set for Tony’s Restaurant. The wooden ice boxes were used in both sets, as well as in “Equal Rights” (see above).
Tony’s ~ “The Black Wig” (1954)
When Ricky doesn’t recognize Lucy with her new wig, she arranges a date with him at Tony’s, a small Italian eatery, bringing along a disguised Ethel as a date for Fred. The telltale signs of Italian American cuisine are the checkered tablecloths, breadsticks and chianti bottles. The waiter at Tony’s is played by Louis A. Nicoletti.
One Oak Cafe ~ “First Stop” (1955)
Driving through Ohio on the way to Hollywood, the gang are famished and forced to stop at One Oak Cafe. Their outdated menu offers such mouth-watering fare as steak sandwiches with French fries and coleslaw, roast beef with baked potato, and fried chicken with biscuits.
Unfortunately for the foursome, all he has are stale Swiss cheese sandwiches wrapped in wax paper, which he buys from a salesman when he comes around.
The Hollywood Brown Derby ~ “L.A. at Last!” (1955)
The real-life Hollywood Brown Derby was founded by Wilson Mizner in 1926 on Wilshire Boulevard. Its distinctive exterior resembled a large brown derby to attract tourists and passing motorists. A second location on North Vine Street (not shaped like a derby) was opened in 1929. Due to its proximity to movie studios, it became the place to do deals and be seen. Clark Gable is said to have proposed to Carole Lombard there and rival gossip columnists Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper were regular patrons. Its walls were decorated with hundreds of celebrity caricatures all drawn by resident artist Jack Lane. They are faithfully reproduced on the “I Love Lucy” stage as are their distinctive derby-shaped wall sconces. The restaurant was destroyed by fire in 1987 but was licensed to the Walt Disney theme parks where you can still enjoy the original Cobb salad.
William Holden orders a Cobb salad and coffee. The Hollywood Brown Derby is the ‘birthplace’ of the Cobb Salad, which was said to have been hastily arranged from leftovers by owner Robert Cobb for theater owner Sid Grauman. One story says that it was a chopped salad because Grauman had just had dental work done, and couldn’t chew well!
Lucy and Ethel order spaghetti and meatballs. Fred orders the veal cutlet Marco Polo. In the original script he ordered the turkey Marco Polo, simply because it was the most expensive item on the menu, but the line was cut. Lucy gets spaghetti and meatballs with extra meat sauce, which was a specialty of the house according the the 1949 Brown Derby cookbook. Lucy also orders a tossed salad from the menu which the waiter explains is a mixed green salad with an oil dressing.
The City of Los Angeles Domeliner Dining Car ~ “The Great Train Robbery” (1955)
On the way back to New York, the gang takes the brand new Union Pacific Domeliner, which has a dining car with a view. Vivian Vance and William Frawley were sent to the actual train to film location footage, but it was cut before the episode aired due to problems matching the sequence of events with the studio footage.
ETHEL: “I heard they had wonderful food on this train and I want to get in there before it's all gone.”
The food served, however, shows up on their wardrobe!
La Porte Montmartre Café ~ “Paris at Last” (1956)
In Paris, the gang enjoys sidewalk cafés in all three episodes.
At La Porte Montmartre Lucy orders Escargot Bourgogne (aka snails) and - much to the chagrin of the chef - covers them with sauce tomate (aka catsup).
Café Du Monde ~ “Lucy Meets Charles Boyer” (1956)
ETHEL: “Oh, boy, this is good French pastry!”
Café Restaurant Le Plaisir ~ “Lucy Gets a Paris Gown” (1956)
The sidewalk café provides a perfect viewpoint for viewing Jacques Marcel’s models parade down the sidewalk after a fashion show.
Martinelli’s Pizza ~ “Visitor from Italy” (1956)
To keep Mario from being deported, Lucy must substitute for him as a pizza chef.
Hansen’s Café ~ “Off To Florida” (1956)
When Lucy and Ethel share a ride to Florida with a suspected hatchet murderess (Elsa Lanchester), they make a pitstop at a roadside cafe.
They want more than coffee - they want HELP!
Meeghan’s Chop House ~ “Lucy’s Night in Town” (1957)
Before the theatre, the gang goes to dinner. Lucy and Ethel order roast beef (medium) with mashed potatoes and Lima beans.
LUCY: “Everyone should chew their food 25 times before swallowing, just like the animals do, because hot food is bad for the stomach. You also should peel Lima beans to get the most out of them because the nutrients lie underneath the upper epidermis.”
The Westport Country Club ~ “Country Club Dance” (1957)
It’s strictly buffet fare when Grace Munson introduces her beautiful young cousin Diana Jordan (Barbara Eden).
Snow Valley Lodge Café ~ “Lucy Goes to Snow Valley”
When Lucy is photo-bombing Fernando Lamas by taking over for the waitress, she douses his sandwich with coffee.
HONORABLE MENTIONS
Schraft’s ~ The famous ‘ladies who lunch’ spot was mentioned in “Lucy Does the Tango” (1957) and “Housewarming” (1957).
LUCY: “Well, I thought it'd be fun to have a fancy girl-type luncheon, you know, like we used to have at Schraft’s in New York.”
21 ~ Manhattan’s iconic nightspot and restaurant was mentioned in “Vacation from Marriage” (1954), “Mr. and Mrs. TV Show” (1954), “Lucy Wants a Career” (1959), and “Lucy Goes Duck Hunting” (1963).
ETHEL: “We’ve been to 21 four times. That’s 84!”
Romanoff's ~ was mentioned in “The Tour” (1955). The episode opens with Lucy begging Ricky to let her accompany him to Romanoff’s for lunch with Richard Widmark. Romanoff’s became known for their chocolate soufflés, strawberries Romanoff and Noodles Romanoff.
LUCY: “I'll be as quiet as a mouse. I won't eat very much, just a little piece of cheese. I'll even pick up the check for the whole lunch.”
Lindy's ~ a Manhattan deli and restaurant first opened in 1921 by Leo "Lindy" Lindermann was famous for it's New York style cheesecake and sandwiches named in honor of celebrities. Ricky takes everyone to Lindy’s when he hears about getting the part in Don Juan during “Ricky’s Contract” (1954) and then again in “Milton Berle Hides Out at the Ricardos” (1959).
BERLE: “Lindy promised to name a sandwich after me if I gave up my table by the door.”
The Golden Drumstick ~ In “First Stop” Mr. Skinner tells the gang about a restaurant down the road that serves a turkey dinner with all the trimmings - dressing, cranberry sauce, green salad, and homemade peach shortcake - for only one dollar! But then dashes their hopes by telling them that they went out of business due to the low price.
Don’s Beachcomber ~ In “Lucy Goes to Grauman’s” (1956), Lucy takes stock of her souvenir haul, including chopsticks from the Beachcomber, a South Seas meets Cantonese style menu that exceeded the menu of most standard Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles at the time.
SEEN BUT NOT HEARD
Restaurant au Mont Cenis ~ While Lucy and Ricky lived in their first apartment (Seasons 1 & 2) a painting by Maurice Utrillo “Restaurant au Mont Cenis” (1922) was hung prominently on the back wall of the living room above the piano, or the desk.
The actual print was gifted to Lucille’s costume designer Elois Jennsen and auctioned off upon her death.

Six months and counting by Kevin Cavanaugh Via Flickr: IIRC it took five sets of equipment to cover the rotations of the City of Los Angeles/Challenger over the UP/Milwaukee Road between LA and Chicago. Here, are two of the five, meeting at Colton, CA on the Santa Fe's Third District on October 4 , 1970. Eastbound train #104 behind E8A 926 is about to cross the SP while a somewhat tardy train #103 passes by on the adjacent main. #103 was due at San Bernadino straight up at 11:00 AM while #104 was to stop at 2:40 PM. Assuming the e/b was close to on time, this meet should have taken place somewhere between LAUPT and East Los Angeles. Oh well, my win....

TRAINSPOTTING!
Lucy and Railway Transportation
Before America was ruled by the automobile, train transportation was the way to go. Lucy makes tracks for the railroad in these unforgettable moments on the (laugh) tracks.
As a young girl, Lucy would take the train from Jamestown to New York City, hoping to fulfill her dreams of becoming a performer. The train station is now part of the National Comedy Museum.
1933 ~ Lucille Ball joined the Goldwyn Girls on a train headed west to Tinseltown. Left to right are Katherine Mauk,Rosalie Fromson, Mary Lange, Vivian Keefer, Barbara Pepper, Theo Phane, and Lucille Ball.
1943 ~ Lucille Ball and other well-known stars set out on a Union Pacific special train to cross America promoting the sale of War Bonds. It began in Washington DC and went through 16 American cities before ending in San Francisco 21 days later.
Fancy Pants (1950) ~ Lucille Ball and Bob Hope pose atop a railroad handcar.
“New Neighbors” (1952) ~ When Ethel is looking through the O’Brien’s belongings, she holds up a bronze of a man on horseback. She deems it “early Pullman.” Pullman refers to railroad sleeping cars that were built and operated by the Pullman Company from 1867 to 1968. The cars were often decorated with inexpensive items that sometimes found their way into travelers’ suitcases!
“Tennessee Ernie Visits” & “Tennessee Ernie Hangs On” (1954) ~ Ford sings the train-themed song "The Wabash Cannonball” waking Lucy and Ricky from a sound sleep, and then again just before Lucy enters as the 'wicked city woman.' The song’s first documented appearance was on sheet music published in 1882, titled “The Great Rock Island Route” and credited to J.A. Roff. A revised version was made famous by Roy Acuff in 1936.
Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar As she glides along the woodland o'er the hills and by the shore. Hear the mighty rush of the engine hear the lonesome hobo's call As you travel across the country on the Wabash Cannonball.
“Getting Ready” (1954) ~ Thinking about how to get to Hollywood, Lucy considers the train. The brochure Lucy reads has the Union Pacific Railroad’s logo redacted. In reality, the Union Pacific did not operate East of the Mississippi, betraying the show’s Southern California roots!
LUCY (to Ricky): You know, on the train, you can see the country you're passing through. This is little Ricky's first chance to go across the United States, so don't you think you ought to get a chance to really see it?
“First Stop” (1955) ~ On their cross-country road trip, the gang takes refuge at One Oak Cafe and Cabins. Their rundown cabin is near an unseen (but loudly heard) railroad - which causes the entire building to shake!
“Ricky Sells The Car” (1955) ~ In this episode we learn that the gang will return to NYC by train on the Union Pacific Railroad’s new Domeliner service on the City of Los Angeles train. A rift develops between the Ricardos and Mertzes when there aren’t enough tickets in the same class. Don Brodie plays the Union Pacific Railroad clerk.
Before he entered show business, William Frawley (Fred Mertz) worked as a stenographer for the Union Pacific Railroad.
Frawley was featured in the 1945 Deanna Durbin film Lady on a Train. The Universal release also featured future “I Love Lucy” cast members Elizabeth Patterson (Mrs. Trumbull), Edward Everett Horton (Mr. Ritter), Allen Jenkins, Fred Aldrich, Joseph Crehan, Mike Lally, Sam Harris, and Sam McDaniel, who played a train porter, just as he would in...
“The Great Train Robbery” (1955) ~ Returning from Hollywood to New York, Lucy wreaks havoc on the City of Los Angeles train.
As set up in the previous episode, Desilu had a partnership with Union Pacific Railroad. The line operated the City of Los Angeles train from 1936 to 1971, when Amtrak took over national train service in the USA. Although it is not mentioned, the train route terminated in Chicago, where, presumably, the foursome got a connecting train to New York City, perhaps the famed 20th Century Limited.
To simulate the emergency braking of a speeding train, Desi wanted more than just actors reacting to a jolting camera, so sets were built on a spring mechanism that was triggered by the emergency brake itself. When Lucy pulled the handle, it caused the entire set to lurch forward in a sudden movement. All this is demonstrated in the special features section of the DVD release.
As part of the partnership with UPR, Desilu was granted permission to film aboard the real Domeliner train. As there was a nearby train station, Vivian Vance, William Frawley, Kathryn Card, Frank Nelson (the conductor) and Sam McDaniel (the porter) were all featured in the location footage on the platform and doubles were not used. Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, however, do not appear in any of the second unit location footage. This is the only time principal cast members (instead of doubles) went on location during the half-hour series.
Footage of Fred and Ethel enjoying the Domeliner’s dining car and lounge were cut when it was realized that movement outside the window did not line up with the episode’s continuity. Rare 16mm film footage of the scenes was discovered and allowed the cut scenes to be added to the 2005 DVD release.
The lounge, however, was recreated on the soundstage. The short scene of the Mertzes boarding the train on the platform (complete with sound), assisted by the Porter and the Conductor, was still included in future syndicated broadcasts.
“Lucy’s Italian Movie” (1956) ~ Opens in a crowded train compartment headed to Rome. Here Lucy meets a film director and thinks this is her big break.
Band manager Fred failed to secure proper train acommodations for the overnight trip - forcing the gang into some unusual sleeping positions!
“Lucy Hunts Uranium” (1958) ~ The hour-long episode opens in a train car headed to Las Vegas, where Ricky's band is booked to perform at the Sands Hotel and Casino. Establishing footage indicates that they are traveling on the Union Pacific Railroad. In reality, getting to Las Vegas by train from Connecticut would have meant many transfers and route changes.
On the train they meet actor Fred MacMurray, who also gets uranium fever and races the Ricardos and Mertzes across the desert on a railroad handcar.
“Lucy Visits the White House” (1963) ~ Lucy and Viv accompany their scout troop to Washington DC on the train. The episode features establishing footage of an actual train and station.
The train makes stops in Greenview, Middlebrook, Flint Ridge, and Scottville. Like Danfield, all are fictional towns along a fictional railroad line.
Frank Nelson reprises his role as the frazzled train conductor, first played in “The Great Train Robbery”.
When Lucy misses the train, she tries to catch up on horseback. This sequence was shot on the soundstage using a mechanical horse. Coincidentally, an early literary name for a train was ‘iron horse’.
THE ‘FOREVER DARLING’ EXPRESS
Lucy and Desi board a special car provided by the Santa Fe Railroad to promote the film Forever Darling in early 1956.
The train was dubbed the “Forever Darling Special with stops in Chicago, Detroit, Dallas, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, and Ball's hometown of Jamestown, New York.
Back in Los Angeles, with Desi Jr., they admire the train that served them on their busy promotional tour. Desi is proudly wearing the cowboy hat he’d been given in Fort Worth.
TRAIN DEPOTS
“Off to Florida” (1956) ~ When Lucy misplaces their train tickets to Miami Beach, she and Ethel must share a car ride to Florida with Edna Grundy, a woman they suspect might be a hatchet murderess. At the end of the cross-fade between the second unit footage of the “North Miami” train station and the studio set of the same location, Lucy and Ethel’s doubles can be briefly glimpsed walking down the tracks on the left.
“Lucy and the Loving Cup” (1957) ~ Unable to tell where she is, Lucy gets off the subway train at the Flatbush Avenue station.
LUCY: Pardon me. Can you tell me where the stairs are? STRAP-HANGER: Well, you'd better get off the train first. LUCY: I am off. STRAP-HANGER: You're telling me.
“Lucy Misses the Mertzes” (1957) ~ The scene at the Westport Train Station is in the best tradition of farce, with both couples narrowly missing one another in the same space.
“Lucy and the Mustache” (1960) ~ Disguised as Ernie Kovacs’ chauffeur, Lucy parks outside the Westport train station.
“Lucy Wants a Career” (1959) ~ Lucy and Ricky only see each other at Grand Central Station, one of the most famous train stations ever built. There is establishing footage of Grand Central.
“No More Double Dates” (1962) ~ At the Danfield Train Station, Lucy and Harry narrowly miss Viv and Eddie when trying to have independent dates. When Lucy and Harry lie about missing their train, Eddie notes that the next one only makes one stop - in New Rochelle. The real-life New York town has already been mentioned several times in the series, establishing that Danfield (and nearby Ridgebury) are similar commuter suburbs of Manhattan.
“Lucy Visits the White House” (1963) ~ Lucy gets off the train at the Greenview Station to hunt down sugar cubes to rebuild the cubs’ sugar cube White House.
“Lucy is a Process Server” (1964) ~ Charged with serving Mr. Mooney, Lucy tracks him to the Danfield Train Station.
“Main Street U.S.A.” (1967) ~ Lucy and Mr. Mooney arrive in the small town of Bancroft by train.
TOY TRAINS
“The Attic” (1949) ~ An episode of Lucille Ball’s radio series in which George and Liz (Lucille Ball) clean out the attic and get locked in.
GEORGE: Hey, look at that! My wonderful electric train. LIZ: Well, I haven't heard you use that tone since you proposed. GEORGE: Oh, gosh, I haven't seen this train in years. LIZ: Well, you certainly have no use for it now. Out it goes. GEORGE: Take your hand off that box! It stays! LIZ: Oh, George, don't be silly! GEORGE: Now, who's being silly? That train doesn't leave this house. LIZ: Now, that's being practical. There's nothing as useful as an electric train. In fact, we should get another one for me. We can race them every night before we go to bed! GEORGE: Yeah. I guess you're right. Out it goes. LIZ: I'll let you keep your train if you let me keep my corsage collection. GEORGE: It's a deal!
LUCY: “Look out for the Super Chief! Woo Woo!”
“The Ricardos Change Apartments” (1953) ~ Lucy fills the apartment with Little Ricky’s toys, including a Lionel Electric Train Set, to convince him they need a larger apartment.
“Little Ricky Gets Stage Fright” (1957) ~ Little Ricky is discovered playing with his Keystone Toy Railroad, a wooden train set made by the Keystone Manufacturing Company. The box is tucked under the bed.
“The ‘I Love Lucy’ Christmas Show” (1956) ~ Lionel Trains are under the Christmas tree for Little Ricky.
“My behind-the-scenes memoris are just the toys on the set. The writers, Madelyn and Bob, gave me a Lionel Train set and that was a real big treat for me as a kid.” ~ Keith Thibodeaux (Little Ricky)
“Lucy and the Efficiency Expert” (1966) ~ Oliver Kasten (Phil Silvers) sits in front of red blow mold locamotives at the Grantland Toy Factory where Lucy is employed on the production line.
THE SUBWAY
“Tennessee Ernie Visits” (1954) ~ Ernie explains the subway.
ERNIE: I asked a fella how to get to the Rickerdos'. Well, he said, "Take the subway." Well, he pointed over there to a hole in the ground with some steps a-going down in it. I went down in there, and do you know what I saw? A bunch of people a-standing there looking in a ditch. Well, here come two streetcars hooked up together. All that bunch of people come a-steamin' up there pushed me through that door, shut it up, and we took off like a scalded gander. Well, sir, we drove and drove and drove and do you know what? RICKY: What? ERNIE: That driver never got that thing out of that hole.
“Lucy and the Loving Cup” (1957) ~ When Lucy gets a loving cup stuck on her head, she must take the subway to Brooklyn to get it off. The episode features establishing footage of the New York Subway trains, although the footage was reversed.
The subway car was recreated on the Desilu soundstage in Hollywood.

ThrowBack 2012
ini bukan kisah tentang kiamat atau kematian peramal yang meramalkan kiamat.tapi hari ini,ngga tau kenapa tiba2 gua keingetan ama temen2 gw jaman SMP dulu.waktu SMP gw punya 3 temen yang membekas banget di pikiran gw,namanya panca wuwus gw biasa manggil dia panca atau pawus,trus ada anisa gw panggil muslim,dan yang terakhir yang ngga kalah legend.nya yaitu yulia gw dan yang lainnya biasa panggil dia liyutd,atau lieyutdh yulia,lia,ah apa aja lah.
pertamanya gua kenal ama yulia,gw kenal dia bener2 dari awal gw masuk kelas.waktu itu lagi pembagian kelas.gw ngga kenal siapa2 tapi waktu itu gw bareng ama neli,gw kenal dia karena dulu gw suka ikut pengajian dan sholawatan bareng dia juga.dia gw dan okta lagi cari kelas dan ya,ternyata gw kelasnya bareng ama okta,kita belum kenal tp pas tau sekelas ya langsung nggandeng aja gitu “yukk” gitu..wkwk....
gw dan okta masuk kelas 7C kita langsung menuju kursi paling depan dan di baris keduanya ada yulia duduk sendiri.,sumpah waktu itu dia masih kecil banget,duduk sendirian dengan wajah juteknya yang sampe sekarang gw msh inget.wkwk...dari situ kita kenalan dan jadi satu kelompok untuk mos.
sejak itu juga gw ama yulia jd bareng terus.,dulu kita juga kayak mengelompok gitu ama erva,mia,oni dan lain2 lah.,lalu,kita naik kelas 8.ke 8D,dan ,gw satu kelas lagi ama yulia.karena kelas itu berdasarkan rengking 1-5.,jadi ceritanya dulu gw rengking 1 ,rengking 2.nya namanya mira,rengking 3 oni,yulia gw lupa dia antara 4 atau 5 gitu .,kita satu kelas.,duduk di meja depan lagi deket guru,karena kita cuma bertiga yulia duduk ama oni dan gw duduk sendirian maka datanglah pawus.dari situ kita kenalan dan jadilah tambah satu temen yang asik.,gw kenal ama panca dia si langsung akrab gitu ama gw.,wkwk...
tapi sumpah sejak saat itu oni yang pendiem jadi jago lawak,yulia yg jutek jadi makin gile,dan ya yg jelas kita semua menggila.dulu itu kita suka bercanda bahkan saat lg pelajaran.dan dulu gw lah yg selalu jadi kambing hitam.,wkwk...yang namanya ngobrol mah ada lawannya ya tapi gw mulu dan gw doang yg domelin ama guru2.,tapi ah itu jd kenangan buat gw.di kelas 8 ini,gw yulia ama pawus ngga begitu bersinar dalam pelajaran karena di kelas ini emang isinya anak2 pilihan,jadi kita tenggelam.wkwk
waktu berlalu ga kerasa aja gw udh kelas 9,di 9C.cepet ya?iyalah orang gw cepetin ceritanya.tapi saat ini gw udah pisah sama yulia.,meskipun begitu kelas gw dan yulia tetep tetanggaan.dia di 9D.dan gw sama pawus bareng lagi.,.wkwk...dan lagi2 pas masuk kita milih kursi di depan lagi kali ini depan deket pintu di belakang kita ada cewe duduk sendirian,namanya anisa,wkwk...
btw gw,pawus ama anisa ini sebenrnya dah satu kelas dari 8D tapi dulu kita ga deket ama mbak mus ini,.,karena dia genk.nya ama anak2 yang pinter2.,tapi ya sejak saat itu kita kenalan deh ama muslim.awalnya sih dia kaya ngga suka gitu karena emang kita sama sekali ngga pernah ngobrol sebelumnya.
tapi ya waktu berlalu dan kita jadi temen yang akrabbbb....banget.lawakan kaya kok kamu ngejek sih??jangan ngejek dong,trus ada lagi tentang lalaban singa,mbele* singa,butakk,dan yang lainnya seakan jadi jargon buat kita.,wkwk...meskipun kita demen banget guyon tapi saat lagi pelajaran kita tetep serius dan justru di waktu inilah kita bener2 bersaing secara sehat dalam belajar.,bayangin .,kita main bareng,tapi kalo ada ulangan kita kaya ngga kenal satu sama lain.yang paling bersinar ya jelas muslim lah.,dia kan asalnya emang pinter,gw ama pawus sampe mikir ni anak salah kelas kali ya.,abis ngga ada lawannya.,dan muslim ini orangnya ambisius.kalo dia mau jd juara satu ya dia bakal usaha belajar dengan giat,kalo panca orgnya lebih selow sih dan dia realistis banget,intinya “sing penting dilakoni” “mangan mati ora mangan mati”wkwkwk....kalo gw,di masa ini gw masih labil banget..........pokoknya kalo lagi dengerin muslim ya semangat gw membara lagi,tapi kalo lg curhat ama panca ya iya yah hidup itu enjoy aja gituh.,wkwk
gw juga orang yang paling ngga punya visi misi dalam hidup.,gw ngga tau hidup gw mau ngapain.,wkwk..waktu lagi cerita2 muslim yang pinter bilang cita2 dia pengen jadi penari.gw ngga tau penari itu kerjaan apaaa...wkwk...saking polosnya gw waktu itu.”polos ya” bukan bego.tapi ya setelah lulus dia milih untuk jadi guru matematika,trus dia lanjut kuliah jurusan matematika.BOOM...jurusan yang jarang orang minat gaes.lalu panca .pas gw nanya cita2 mu pengen jadi apa ca?dengan jhiwa realistisnya dia bilang “ibu rumah tangga” trus dia ketawa..jaman dulu tuh ketawanya yg lagi ngetrend gini CEKAKAK...wkwwk...dan ya,sekarang cita2nya sudah tercapai dan dia skrg udh punya anak lanang yang lucu banget...kalo lieyutdh seinget gw dia emang dulu bilang pengen kerja di bank atau semacam kantoran yaa..sekarang masih proses jd sarjana ekonomi dia.,dan gueee...dulu waktu ditanya dinda cita2nya pengen jadi apa?gw bilang “nggak tauuu.,gue ngga tau” dan sumpah sampe sekarang emang gw masih ngga tau cita2 gw mau jadi apa.wkwkwk....
gw udah kuliah gw masuk jurusan hukum di salah satu PTAIN.tapi pala gua butak gaess,gundul gue lama2.,gua ngga mudeng ama ginian gaes.,.trus akhirnya gw memutuskan untuk pindah kampus dan yg jelas ganti jurusan.tapi tetep..gw masih belom tau gw mau jadi apa.,sambil mikir makanya gw sambil nulis ginian.,ya kali aja abis ini dapet ilham yea.
oke lanjut.,.
di kelas 9 ini gw pawus dan muslim bener2 fight untuk nilai.tapi tetep bercanda tiap hari .ngetawain guru IPA yang namanya bu *mbar yg kalo ngajar tanpa ekspresi,ngetawain guru matematika yg baperan,ngerasani guru yang SUKIRJO juga.,wkwk...
hingga akhirnyaa....di akhir cerita kita muslim rengking 1,pawus rengking 3 dan gw cuma rengking 5.
oh yaa..sebagai bonus gua mau ceritain juga dua orang LEGEND yang very very disturbing.namanya ciko dan kodiron.
ceritanya mereka bedua ini dendam ama gw.,karena dulu gw suka ngatain ciko “heh,dicariin yulia geh” atau “ekhemm..yuliaa”nah itu sama juga sama kodiron.,gw dulu suka ngatain dia “ciyee..panca ciyee....”yaa..dulu sunter terdengar bahwa kodir tu mantannya panca.dan yulia prnh dekat ama ciko.
sebenrnya sih emang iya,.,tapi laki dua itu ngga terima banget.mereka dendem ama gw.,eh ngga taunya pas kelas 9 gua malah sekelas ama dua orang itu.busett...dan yah.,perang dimulai,.tiap hari mereka jd nyerang gw mulu.mereka bedua sebut gw “kucel”wkwkkk....sumpah tp dulu gw emang jelek banget gaes.,gw aja ampe muakkkk sendiri kalo ketemu foto2 gw jaman dulu.langsung aja gw apus saking jijik.nya.bbhahaha...kalo perlu juga foto ijasah yang menjijikan itu pen bet gw bakar.,but ya.,puberty hit me.,keras banget,.,,.berkat mereka pas gw SMA gw mulai tuh yang namanya pake handbody,trus maskeran,ngga lagi panas2an,pokoknya belajar jaim lah.,dan yaa...gw yakin sekarang ini siapapun bakal setuju kalo gw udah ngga kaya dulu lagi.itu semua berkat mereka juga.,dan setelah lulus sih gw ama kodiron udh baikan tapi gw rasa gw ga akan pernah baikan ama ciko.wkwk...
