And it wasn't that the "raincoat" didn't work; they had a very specific dialogue; he couldn't afford to buy a condom, she allowed it and threatened to cut his dick off if he got her pregnant as a result.<br /><br />Great observations.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061313079120981794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35396555.post-25746759679404048062009-08-20T13:47:57.458-04:002009-08-20T13:47:57.458-04:00Nice to have you back.

I look forward to these writeups after every episode.<br /><br />While I didn't think there was anything revelatory or especially new in this episode, I enjoyed it. My only complaint is that wasn't enough Roger or Peggy, two of the show's most engaging characters.<br /><br />Also, it's interesting to me that the only subordinates Don treats as equals PeggyMarkhttp://feinsodville.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
