Follies of the Mad Men #41

stpatme - The color codes aren't working, huh? Did you know that you can preview your post before you submit?

Oh yeah..the Other button....LOL

That way you can see if any type of code works before you submit. Modern technology...it's so cool. :coolhmm:

Jules, Sorry to dominate the thread, but nobody was using it, and this sure beats Caribo Barbie vitriol!

stpatme - no need to apologize...MM and I were discussing (joking actually, since we're not capable on serious conversations regarding WU) having the recent comment box all to ourselves on Friday so I felt the need to point it out, that's all 😊

Jules - I think you're jealous that you didn't think of it first. 😜

Jules, Max, the company is an honor.

Big Gary, I believe Vitriol was sold by Wildroot Cream Oil salesmen to barbers of the Burma Shave era.

Have you read the latest? Barbie got punked by two Quebecois radio prank callers. <u>She actually thought she was talking to the President of France!</u> :lol:
