Does the guy in the picture look like John Candy or is it just me?

OK. That would suck. Thanks for the explanation!
Can someone explain why being run out of town on a rail is worse than being run out of town generally? Tarring and feathering, I get. But running out of town on a rail doesn't seem worse than, let's say, being chased with pitchforks and torches.
I've been doing that my whole life.
It was dentistry, not law.
We'll be back for you later…
Oh my gawd! Wicked awesome is from Boston, not Lawn Guyland.
Whenever I think of "Radio," I think of Eddie Murphy in Bowfinger - "I need to play a retarded slave, then I'll get the Oscar."
Myeaaah? Playin' a retard, huh? I'll give you a retard, see? Myeeah. Get me?
It's getting Harry around here. I foresee a long hot Sommer.
Bowl Cut Dick Whitman may have been awful looking, but self-perception affects reality. I know plenty of people who aren't much to look at but they believe they are and they get people out of their league.
OK. I thought Don said it during the late night meeting. My mistake. Thanks.
I didn't take Don's comment as flippant. I took it more as his life has been so screwed up since then that he no longer remembers. That or compartmentalizing. Remember, this is the guy who said, "it will shock you how much it never happened" to Peggy. He no longer remembers that life.
Hippie Margaret, please.
I agree. I think he's insensitive and sexist, but so are all of the other men in the agency ("You're as good as any woman in the business") and so were most men at that time. As far as the lie about the computer- they're in advertising! It's all about lies! He's just overly penalized for being a lummox.
No, it was Don
I don't think you, in 1969, would offer vegetables, grains, etc in lieu of a steak. Those are sides. Spaghetti was a main course. That and Megan can't cook.
In the days before ATMs, my father would go cash checks at the supermarket. I think that's why he still carries checks in his wallet. It's also why I always laugh at Letterman's line that Dr. Phil looks like the guy who OKs your check at the supermarket.
I was disappointed too. But I think that was Henry the nervous politician - his wife went off the reservation and he thinks he's going to get voted out. On some level though, it was good to see him be human and not just Henry the knight of infinite patience with two screwed up families.
Upper West Side in the late 1960s - he's Puerto Rican, maybe Dominican. It was that way until it gentrified. Even now, the Mexican population is in East Harlem and Brooklyn.
