Damn you, Allen!!!

Happy Birthday!!! :party:

I'm digging it too. In this episode I actually felt a little bad for Roger. That doesn't happen too often.

Bring on the scotch---please!

Damn that Letterman! If only it weren't for him, jazz would be as popular as rap.

...Or that multiple concussions can shorten your life span. Oh, wait, I guess they still haven't figured that out. Or maybe they just don't care.

I thought the dialog always had an artificial feel to it. Isn't it one of the earmarks of the show?

Going outside here is often not going to get you much sun (which may be a good thing for me, as I have the skin of an Irishman crossed with a Norwegian.) I started taking a Vitamin D supplement once a day, not because my doctor said to, just for the hell of it.

My wife actually likes some jazz, the rest she simple tunes out. She doesn't give a damn what I play, as long as I don't play it too loud, and frankly that's eminently reasonable.

I can't deny, the prostitute slapping Don during sex was a real "WTF?" moment for me. I guess Don has some serious self-loathing issues; perhaps even dislikes himself almost as much as Jazzbo dislikes him.

Loads of character-actors appeared on that show. Harry Carey, Jr. was on it, and June Lockhart (of Lassie and Lost In Space fame) played a woman doctor in a couple episodes, sort of an early Dr. Quinn I guess.

Well, what did you think? Personally, I thought the opening line couldn't have been better: "Who is Don Draper?"

I've watched that clip and I think I get around half the film references too, but I usually think for a second "Oh, THAT movie!" but can't think of the title before the next one comes along. As far as I'm concerned, that still counts.

The best of birthdays, to you (and many more!)--- :party: :party:

Indeed. What is this world coming to? To think that men will lie to women in order to have sex...I'm stunned. No--Shocked! Shocked, that there is lying going on, lying for sex!!

A couple of CD's I ordered online just came over the transom---Southern Scene/The Riddle (Brubeck) and the aforementioned Adderley Sextet in New York. About that last, when somebody mentioned it recently on the board I thought surely I must have the album, but a look through my collection proved that I did not, strangely enough. Newbury Comics soon cured THAT.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet In New York

Belated Happy Birthday!!

Triple-HA!

A very Happy Birthday to you!

"You Comb Her Hair" has to be one of the creepiest country songs of all time. George Jones sang the hell out of it though. RIP Hank.

Actually, in a weird way I kinda liked that.

I had no idea that Bourdain could write.

Same here. I just didn't think of him dying; guess I assumed he was good for another 10 or 20 years. RIP Harvey.

Oh no.
