See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Not only that, it's the SECOND anachronism in two weeks!

Zimmer noticed yesterday that on Sunday's episode of Mad Men, sitting on a shelf behind Sterling Cooper's CFO Lane Pryce was the three-volume edition of The Compact Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, which, as everyone knows, was first published in 1987 — 24 years after the show's current season supposedly takes place. Explaining the egregious anachronism on his fake Twitter feed, Pryce says, "Regarding my office library, I was asked to hold on to those books by a nervous young man named McFly."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well that's it, I'm never watching this show again. The magic is GONE. GONE, I TELL YOU!

"Regarding my office library, I was asked to hold on to those books by a nervous young man named McFly."

HA! Awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Prop anachronism discovered in Mad Men! ZOMG!!!!

Pfft. They've been on shaky ground with me ever since they made a big deal reveal in the pilot on the latest in office technology and gave a loving closeup on the IBM Selectric II. (Which didn't come out until the seventies.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I know! That Selectric II.

I didn't notice the Zildjian, but I'm pretty sure it's because I found it physically impossible to look at the screen at that point.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Hardison's accent is awful!

Our wings are not tired.

Enthralled by the Leverage, and the Ice Man.

Well, yeah, his turn for the bad accent. Not quite as fun as the bad hair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

As bad as the guard's? Jesus Christ. Dear everyone involved with Leverage: Please stop having people talk with "Boston" accents until you get someone from actual Boston.
