No. I really didn't come to Zepplin, or Zep if you are cool, until my 30s really.

This column was a bit like the first week of university when everyone is blasting the music chosen to display themselves in the most favorable light amongst their peers.

John Houseman. Those scenes were filmed with the feeling one was receiving a special gift, like the Kate Hepburn scene in Love Affair. The emeritus actor and the towheaded upstart.

Ricky, Rick? (Deborah Gibson?) and I share the same birthday.

Perhaps the passing of Irving Thalberg drove Norma Shearer into a fellatio-laden manifestation of grief.

I think it was because my friend called me an asshole for using exsanguinate during the Boston manhunt.

There has to be a Slim Whitman joke in there somewhere. Ken?

Only because I cannot stand Mickey Rooney do I bring this up (except his fabulously racist performance in Breakfast at Tiffany's) but how in the hell did people like him? As he bitterly reminded us on Larry King, "I was the number one box-office star!"

This is indeed correct. And I so adore Stan.

I am very against hot dogs with ketchup. First consider the aesthetic. A condiment's color should be in contrast with the food. Second, a hot dog is technically a sausage, which receives mustard.

Someone earlier said that Ted ordered an Old Spanish, which is a fictional drink from 30 Rock. I responded this couldn't happen because of all the hoo-hoos who just wait for some anachronism like when everyone went ballistic over the IBM Selectric models.

Despite popular convention, support for the Vietnam War was high even through the Fall of Saigon in 1975. A strong case can be made that support was over 50% in 1968. The fashionable view that everyone was protesting is actually not true.

It is also reminiscent of when Peggy fired the oh-so-dreamy Joey Baird in the spirit of sisterhood and Joan basically said she made her look like a bitch.

When I was in high school, I bought a pair just like Bert's (the sixties were back as well as the whole Preppy thing in 1987). They were $10, which is $20 today thanks to our central banking system.

Seriously? Given Mad Men's vaunted attention to detail and all the hoo-hoos crowing about the debut of the IBM Selectric in the first season I would think they'd want to avoid upsetting the basement dwellers.

I love the jiu-jistu of the writing on the show also for the reason you described. Which was more difficult to handle: Harry hauling off on everyone or the fact that Harry was right? And despite his behavior being cringe-inducing, you never called bullshit on it.

Most credits are negotiated during their contract renewal irrespective of their appearance in the episode.

Best line reading of the show: "Eighteen years!"

The only enthusiastic fat person who doesn't ruin anything is Santa Claus.

I know this is late, but the Earl Butz reference was hilarious.
