      No cigarettes?

      How do you put Vermouth before Scotch/Whiskey? That’s just confusing.

      Only because of the character arc... Scotch/Whiskey was too drawn out. I liked the shock and awe role that Vermouth played.

      And cigarettes didn't make the cut simply because I loathe them... the same reason Ferg or Dennis would not have made my list of people.

      I can see that. Scotch/Whiskey did kind of just show up in every scene.

      We get it! You’re awesome!

      What about the Hippie Cigarettes? Loathe or no loathe?

      Acid could place pretty high if your looking for shock and awe.

      Roger did like the acid which is just one more reason that he should top this list.

      Since the readership of this blog is world wide, I tried not to touch on items considered illicit in the greater United States. International relationships are touchy... and I hope to travel outside of the country again soon.

    Damnit. I tried to do this ranking but I need pictures. I can’t keep em all straight. all I know is Roger is number 1 and Don is 2. After that I need a drink.

    What about Shirley??? "Hi 'Dawn'. Hi 'Shirley'." That exchange alone should put them in the top 10.
    Of course Roger is number one. I've been dipping in and out of the marathon since Wednesday, and he was HOT in the first season.
    And Pete is a monster, who deserves no future happiness. And Sal Romano in the top 10!!!!
    Bob Benson!
    Lane Pryce. I can't relive that heartbreak... but I'm looking forward to torturing myself with the horror that was Joan sleeping with the Jaguar creep, at 1:58pm today... watching At the Codfish Ball now.. this show was DARK.

    1) Roger Sterling
    2) Peggy Olson
    3) Sally Draper

    19) Paul Kinsey
    20) Anna Draper
    21) Bert Cooper
    22) Abe Ginsberg
    23) Glen (so memerizingly weird and off-putting)

      I am moving Peggy into position 2 and Don down to 3.

      Pete is easy to hate, but is a great character. He's definitely top 10.

      I don't watch in real time, what happened with Betty last Sunday?
