aren't all the Hate Songs terrible? I think the concept has potential, but all the ones I've read have seemed pretty terrible to me

Really? The goodwills I go to run as cheap as 1.50 for a shirt - I actually bought a pair of shoes for 2.50 the other day. And 5 dollars dr pair of jeans is way better than 20, which is the cheapest I've ever seen them new. Besides, Goodwill is much better as a charity than Salvation Army (actual references would…

Yeah, basically. This isn't about ironically shopping at thrift stores, it's about "fuck you, yes I buy my clothes second hand, it's economical and awesome." His reading of it as being "ironic" is completely off base. Half my wardrobe comes from goodwill, partly because I really don't have the money to buy things new…

I think most viewers just enjoy spinning crazy theories for the hell of it, partially as a response to Matt Weiner's enigmatic-ness and Mad Men's extremely subdued nature, but there are a surprising number of people who actually take them seriously. People commit suicide and have surprise babies and Zou-Bi-Doo…

that sounds like a very boring life

There's a mash up somewhere of that song and Avril Lavine's Complicated from like 2002 thats hilariously great (if I wasn't on my phone I'd link it) There's a jukebox musical to be made from their combined oeuvra about a popular girl and a skater chick who fall in love in high school and I really want it.

@Tearintup:disqus - I remembered after I posted that one of the geeks found out that his dad was a cheater in Freaks and Geeks - I think it didn't hit me as much as Sally's discover did because Sally and I are both girls, and I think there's kind of this added level when you're a girl and it's your dad, that's like…

@avclub-3be42d8a3412057f79af152555e39bd4:disqus add that to the list of wacky Mad Men spin-offs I would watch

"totem of female self-sufficiency"

My cat has been known to try to gift me with snakes in the wee hours of the morning - as in he brings them straight to my bed. At least he kills the palmetto bugs for me.

And cats don't embarrass you by clapping too loudly for McCarthy in a room full of your conservative co-workers!

I've been waiting for/dreading the moment Sally finds out for seasons now - I don't know if I've never seen that particular adolescent… um… milestone I guess… portrayed in media before, the discovery of a parent's infidelity, and as I've already said it's one that hits particularly close to home for me. Make no…

Yeah, I think I can confirm this first hand. My dad was a serial cheater while married to my mom and mom was/is an alcoholic, but my older brothers racked me up way more therapy hours than my parents combined because at least with my parents I knew that they liked me - their biggest crime really was being too…

@avclub-62f48ca9ae7eb9715c070c1db1d6104c:disqus there was a bit of a callback to it last season when Joan came in with her newborn Peggy and Pete somehow wound up alone with him. There was a moment there where they shared this awkward look and then immediately went off in different directions to get back to pretending…

Bob's entire approach seems to be to smile his way to the top  whereas Don's never been concerned about being on anyone's good side, just so long as he can manipulate them effectively when he needs to. Bob gets someone to hire him by being indispensable and friendly, Don gets someone to hire him by getting them drunk.…

Who keeps nominating the Big Bang Theory for things and where do they live?

Definitely not - she's 14, she understand what death and sex are, she doesn't need an adult's reaction to figure out the gravity of what's going on.

Even his wife is privy to his Draper obsession - really Ted, you need to move on, you obviously have more invested in this rivalry than he does, it's kind of sad.

I'm wondering if he isn't estranged from his father, because of the gay-ness (my theory being that Bob is closeted in his professional life for obvious reasons and that he's out in his personal life), in which case his easy and frequent lying about his father is put into a different light.
