I’m obviously dating myself but:
1) the contraption that gets Richie Rich dressed and washed in the morning, so we can all sleep while showering, brushing out teeth and getting dressed
2) Wonder Woman’s invisible plane
3) The wallpaper from Willie Wonka that you can lick and it tastes good!

and, from modern times:
Butterbeer and direwolves, no duh.

The real crime here is the “reporter” with the worst case of Reporter Affected Speech Disorder I’ve ever heard. Gross.

I don’t think we’re supposed to think it is a brave choice at all. She was lucky to have her job in the first place, as Peggy pointed out, and she married Don for his money so she could live the life she wanted. I think Don is figuring that out. He was really happy when he married (or so he thought) a mini version of himself–someone he could respect. Now, he finds himself married to a teenager, who goes to school and listens to music he doesn’t get. There was so much parent-child stuff between them in this episode–her asking for his permission to do something after the fact, her lying to him and sneaking out behind his back, her not accpeting his advice to take the safe career over the fun, certain career. He even had a “back in MY day, we wanted indoor plumbing” moment.

As for Joan, she likes her job and her career. I don’t think she resents Megan or Betty for that matter. She’s just kind of baffled by them.

GAME OF SPOILERS BOOK 2: A SONG OF ICE AND SPOILERS DON’T READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ UP TO BOOK 3

Yes, I meant Jeyne Westerling! Too many Jeynes to keep track of in this book. Game of Jeynes.

To those of you who have read the book: I don’t want to be one of *those* people, but is it just me or were there some big deviations from the book in last night’s episode? Who is the chick Rob is so hot for. Is that supposed to be Jane Poole? Also, the dragons–have I forgotten that they were stolen? Because I honestly don’t remember that, and dragon theft seems like a crime you would remember?

So girl parts are weak, gross, funny. Yawn. The uterus is actually pretty badass.

I think the Pete story is supposed to prove that charm never really goes out of style. Charming men like Don and Roger got away with a lot during the 50s, but they still do in the 60s or any era because they can. Even Lane has more charm than Pete. If Pete would have kissed Joan she would have slapped him. But she forgave Lane because he’s charmng–not in a sexy Don/Roger way but in a sad sweet kind of way. Pete has all of the ingredients that should make him a baller. He’s bringing in accounts, he has the house, the family and now even the bigger office, but he still can’t quite get there and never will because he lacks that charm. Last week we all saw Don talking to that teenager, and you just knew he could have gone there with her, but he didn’t. This week we see Pete longing for a teenage girl and it just seemed creepy. No matter what Pete does, he will never be fulfilled in that profession, the way Roger says you can be.

No study required. That he gives all women a hard-on is a fact. As the Dothraki would say, “This is known.”

I love that this was tagged Mitt Romney.

I guess that’s pretty cool. It’s pretty cool.

That story on TAL was so good. Even if it was fiction, you know it was based on someone’s true strory. BTW, if you love Ira Glass, did you hear him on the Savage Lovecast last week? He was great! Ira and Dan Savage together was like my Valentines dream come true.

This show needs to be called Top Bully because I feel like I’ve spent 123 weeks watching someone get bullied. Sarah is the meanest jerk ever. I’d also like to say for the record that rabbit with a slice of rabbit heart over saurkraut sounds revolting, and her explanation of why she made it “because it’s cold here so Northern Italy/Germany” was TOP NONSENSE!

For me it means 2/3 of the way there to being the perfect valentine.

I don’t know anything about food, so I guess that’s why I don’t get why someone got sent home over serving a large portion (gasp!) instead of the person who deliberately undercooked chicken (which can kill you!).

I hope the movie is as educational as the book for us poor, dumb women, “if you have a craving for a milkshake DON’T DO IT!!! Don’t be so selfish and reckless. Just blend up some cottage cheese and soy milk! It will satisfy your craving without damaging your unborn child. It’s not about you anymore!”

“Contrary to popular belief, guys are not attracted to “big racks” with baby’s attached to them.” Tell that to my husband.

Am I the only one who thought it was weird that Chris’ art was of naked ladies? Also, it cracked me up when he went on and on about how “modern” he furnished his apartment. It looked kind of normal to me. Relax Chris, you don’t even have a Roomba.

You really shouldn’t get so hung up about the plausibility of this show. It’s all about the characters and everything else is just a mystery that will never be explained because it isn’t necessary because characters something something.

You beat me to it. When I saw there were only a few comments I was sure no one had Baba Booey’d this thread. I couldn’t login fast enough. Good job.

Grayson didn’t get eliminated. I only know who she is because she has that pretty curly hair. Grayson was paired with scrunchie. Nyesha’s team mate’s name is Tatoo I think, but I”m not 100%. Also, not to be critical, but if we’re going to make fun of their faces, why haven’t we spent any time talking about Ed’s weird jaw hinge thing. his jaw is all over the place when he talks!
