Nice one, Bag of Hammers.

Chin up, Fran: it is funny watching someone who essentially agrees with you go out of his way to bite at your ass.

But a fine employee.

Prejudice it most certainly is, since the posts are in no way in defense of anything except maybe perspective.

I read Greg's actions in THIS scene as entirely loving and competent; I also like how his "birdnest" ploy dovetails with Joan's complaint to Lane about being treated like a little girl: sometimes we all need to be treated like children. As for the joke? This woman was Roger "Blackface" Sterling's paramour for quite…

Um, that should be "would have TO SAY 'rape.' "

The Clue thing is funny—I'm always amazed at how reverent we are expected to be about rape while murder, a far more final crime, is treated as fodder for a children's board game.

I think Joan does have an office at SCDP, just not a big one.

It makes me realize how sweet a deal I have with my stripper girlfriend—I pay for drinks and meals and her cigarettes and duke her sixty to eighty bucks for the sex itself, a little more if she's in a jam and I have it to spare.

Accounts men expense prostitutes all the time—Pete said he'd call the actresses from the ham stunt whores so he could expense them.

Yes, El Gordo, Anna is quite hot indeed. When Don was putting her to bed, I could just imagine how sleep soft and sleep warm she must be.

Time out of Joint is a fine book, just not one of the dozen or so books that I'd hail as true masterwooks. Now Wait for Last Year is and, in the hands of someone with the right approach, would make a wonderful film.

I though the half that was about the soldierboys was good. The half that was about universal armageddon were a bit much.

END TIME SPOILERS

I agree that Melfi doesn't want to be rid of Tony
(And thanks for the shout-out!)

I'm a huge PKD fan and i think Blade Runner is a far better film tha Androids is a book. I'd put Androids in Dick's bottom third of novels—it's not Vulcan's Hammer, Dr. Futurity or The Man Who Japed bad but it isn't good, either; I'd put most of his mainstream efforts ahead of it, as well as minor works like The…

Maybe Miami Vice—I did watch that show from time to time. I was super-enthused by Max Headroom's pilot, that I do remember. "Love those blipverts!"

Now that I think about it, it was probably on opposite some other show I liked.

I remember wanting to like this show…
…more than I actually did. I tuned out early, sad to say. Maybe I'll search it out and watch again.

I'll bet these girls have more fun at work than most of us do—I hate my job, and I'm a schoolteacher.
