"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, this was definitely my favorite episode of "Mad Men" this season and might be one of the top in the series thus far. I loved the looping back of references (e.g. the mention of the play being a tragedy that had a happy ending, the Twain, the weirdass snake gift, Don's mention of a snake), the unexpected humor. This fired on all cylinders. I think I'm going to watch it again right away which I haven't been doing.
I also kind of predicted some things that were going to happen (when I saw them running around on the lawn mower, I ducked my eyes behind my hands and I prayed for Joan and Peggy's safety).
(edited for clarity!)

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I liked the disclaimer that got thrown in.
You mean the one that Kenny shouted, or was there something else?

Damn, I missed what happened to Pete! My sister interrupted me with a job possibility. I"ll have to try and catch it elsewhere!
eta...I guess it wasn't Pete who had the horrible accident after all. Nevermind.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Best ep yet this season, even if I am still having sympathetic foot pain. shudder

Plus, Grampa Gene back from the grave, to threaten Sally!
Also? When my brothers were born, which was the same era, I was given "gifts" from my new siblings. And my reaction was much the same as Sally's: "Babies can't write! Babies can't go to stores!"
(Now in the age of the intertubes, even my cats can order presents.)

Yes, cracked me the hell up. I kept thinking about how the garbage disposal people got all up in arms over Heroes first season.
I also kind of predicted some things that were going to happen
Wasn't it Chekov who said if you introduce a John Deere mower in the first act it needs to run over someone's foot by the end?
(when I saw them running around on the lawn mower, I ducked my eyes behind my hands and I prayed for Joan and Peggy's safety).
Yeah, those are the two I was holding my breath for, but the way it played made so much sense, story-wise.

Yep -- held my breath, too.
