Hey, I've been low-carbing it for about 9 months, so I might have some ideas for you.  I've been trying to eat a lot more salads, and yours sounds great.  For a long time, I've been doing fried chicken chunks in panko served over salad greens with a creamy dressing (usually ranch, because it's awesome), so your…

Don't know what I'm having yet for lunch today, but yesterday I tried the new salad place downtown.  I had an amazing cobb salad and a bowl of so-so broccoli-cheese soup.  All for about $9.  Kinda pricey, but it was, I remind you, an amazing salad — and it kept me feeling great all afternoon.

And remember that Peggy was horrified at Abe's scathing indictment of the advertising industry when they first met (what was his hilariously hyperbolic title?  "Nuremberg on Madison Avenue"?).  He was always more critical of the corporate culture than she was.  Her words to Don once were, "I want what you have."  Not…

"GM was grossly inefficient, with brands like Oldsmobile, Buick and
Chevrolet all producing similar vehicles with similarly-sized engines
that were developed completely independent of the other."

I hope so.  Don has gotten so boring this season and last that the only thing still interesting about him is his past.

Those divisions runs deep.  My Irish-Catholic mother was for McCarthy from the get-go, and never forgave Bobby Kennedy for jumping into the race and weakening McCarthy's campaign.  Interestingly, she still is sore at Obama for denying Hillary Clinton the White House.  She even said something about 2008 being…

They might have been there on a Sunday, or other time when absolutely no one else could be expected to be around, due to the secrecy of their scheme.  I remember one or two episodes of The West Wing where the crew was working on a Sunday, and the only way we could tell was that they didn't have ties on.  Joan's hair…

If I remember correctly, Peggy was sort of mystified as to why Joan got made partner, and it was kind of like the last straw for Peggy (though after she had already decided to jump ship, I think).  Peggy doesn't know the exact circumstances of Joan being made partner, so she might have just thought it was a general…

The men's interior design stuff fascinates me.  When Don had his own divorcee pad, it looked like it fit him: dark, old-fashioned, full of wood and leather.  His place with Megan is still dark, but there are more colors than brown on display, and the furniture and fixtures look long, attenuated, and emphasizing the…

I can't remember: does Lane's widow still have a partnership stake, or did Don buy her out when he visited her after Lane's death?

Thanks for pointing that out!  It's the first name joke like that I know of since we met Bert Cooper's spinster sister, Alice, in an early season.

Not just the devaluing of the work, but the fact that Don's already a millionaire, probably several times over by now, while Pete and Joan are not.  They've been busting thier asses (and Joan even got high praise on her bookkeeping) to secure a spot for themselves on the top of the capitalist mountain, while Don…

When I think of the Irish mob, I think of names like Pacino and DeNiro — just like when I think of delicious pizza, I think of names like Murphy.

@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus I much prefer diluting the effect of sexual comments made about female celebrities by increasing the number of sexual comments made about male celebrities.  It's a much less paternalistic way of dealing with it than the heavy hand of moderators shutting people up, since it's essentially the…

How come the first one gets fewer "Likes"?

We're so quick to assume it's rape, just because it's deviant.  What if she really likes the octopus?

Only to a very specific subset of the population, @avclub-500e75a036dc2d7d2fec5da1b71d36cc:disqus .

I think he looks like Michael Imperioli's kid brother.  Considering that, before The Sopranos, Imperioli was most noted for playing a character named Spider in GoodFellas, I think @Scrawler2:disqus 's invocation of The Very Hungry Caterpillar is quite apt.

The beard is underway in that picture, above.

"DRAPER!"
