Thanks for the translation, Jennie. I don't think I've seen code like that in 20 years! :)

I vote not OT ;)

Very interesting, and fun! Who'd have thought in this instance life would imitate fiction? I wonder if Weiner & Co. gets a cut. They should.

Doug, have you noticed that *many* of the old Mad Men board threads and posts are back now? Check them out! Not just here, either, on all the boards.

I hadn't noticed that, Cat.

Regarding the Heinz ad, I did notice I think that *seed* credit for the ad went to several folks formerly associated with SCDP.

Good for Heinz for having a sense of humor.

[–] doug65oh (205) 7 years ago

They had to. What humor, after all, is there in beans?

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

None that I can think of ;)

Exactly. Besides the "No campfires" ordinance in New York City. Makes things tough.
