My life is 10 times better whenever I'm waggin' in the wind and cussin' like a sailor.

How does Dick Whitman fit in with Walt Whitman and Walter White?

I don't see how this season, as a body of work so far, has hit the "Don is an asshole" notes any harder than previous seasons.  Maybe some viewers are just now getting hip to the fact, but Don's been an asshole from the beginning.  Ask Adam Whitman.  Or Sally Draper. 

It's also a mark of Ted's youth, progressiveness, and/or early-adoption nature, because 1968 was a time when the use of "black" to describe people of African ancestry was beginning to supplant "Nergo" and "colored" as the accepted term — but the issue was still in transition.  I don't know if Martin Luther King, for…

I imagine the strength of one's preference for Farm and Fleet or Fleet Farm correlates with the strength of one's disdain for Ford or Chevy trucks.  I have yet to see a bumper sticker of Calvin pissing on a Fleet Farm or Farm and Fleet logo, however.

You infer; Todd implies.  I implode.

Keep in mind that a lot of the American partisan ideologies of 2013 were being formed during the period depicted this season on Mad Men, so a lot of lines that we think today a voter wouldn't cross simply hadn't been drawn yet (or, at least, the concrete wasn't hard yet).  They've been showing the creeping feeling of…

I've never really been rooting for Don to "win."  He's much more interesting when he's afraid, cornered, and desperate (like when the firm was submitting for security clearances, and he thought some Defense Department guys were coming to his bachelor pad).  To use the metaphor from the show's opening credits, Don is…

Whoa, that's kind of a sinister coda there, @avclub-6ca57d2774f04ac8acf3d2b10f0338f4:disqus .  I'm not into killing, so just to be clear, I liked your post for the reading of encyclopediae for fun as a kid, and for winning lots of trivia contests as an adult.

Make it "schtupping," and you've got a winner!

I noticed the way Don kissed Sylvia's hand, quite similar to the way he kissed Peggy's.

When people live an unconventional lifestyle, particularly in terms of housing, dress, occupation, and sexuality, they are called "bohemian."  When people are from a region in central Europe that is the eastern one of two constituent areas (Moravia is the western one) that make up the Czech Republic, they are called…

I'd sincerely love more flashbacks to Don as Dick as a child (honestly, Don/Dick has been way more interesting in flashbacks than in the main timeline story for a while).  That whole sequence with the hobo (I think in Season 1) is still one of my favorite character moments: Dick learns that his father is not just…

The decent people on Mad Men who try to get closest to Don Draper end up dead…but they are still hanging around [maniacal Vincent Price cackle]

[ties napkin around neck, grabs fork and knife] What's this about fresh horse?

I don't even own a box.

Were the chickens able to provide a description of the perp?

Luckily, you don't have to worry about any craftsmen and blue collar workers, because decades of outsourcing and free-trade agreements have made them virtually extinct!  Plus, the ones that still roam wild aren't likely to frequent the same coffee shops.  Some natural habitats still exist, though, like windowless bars…

That comes later, @avclub-587b11d4d193d217aa603d0b4d34d95f:disqus .
