Ken just may have different hoes in area codes! LOL!

I think George got the digits when her invoice crossed his desk when Ken expended it.

Ken = C.C. Baxter in "The Apartment."

I totally agree Dennis - it was an ah haaaaa moment for me. Now that I realize what the deal was in the latest episode, I remembered there have been at least three times in the past, including Season 1, when it's Ken that asks the out of town clients if they want to hook up when they get back to their hotels - he did it for the Belle Jolie folks, I think, and the Lucky Strike guys. Obviously with the Gorton's guy. It's his "job", and Roger, obviously, enjoys the perks of Ken's job. That's why he makes the big bucks.

whaddaya mean to hell with the blue egg, Dennis?!

Okay, Ken Cosgrove is the Fixer/Mixer of Sterling Cooper. You think that means that Sterling Cooper is paying him $310/week for his pimping services? Give me a break!

He may be bringing in more clients because of his "Ken 's Selective Executive Escort Service", hence the bucks in the paycheck, but Ken can't get a date? He works the girl over at Paul's party but doesn't score a touchdown?

Of course Roger got the number from Ken. Don't you think Ken just got a $25/week raise for that and his silence? Ken probably showed Roger his whole "catalog", and Roger said "I want that one!".

I peg Ken for a Hugh Hefner wannabe (missing the pipe and smoking jacket), but holy smokes - if Roger cardiacs on one Ken's "girls", goodbye raise!

And goodbye Ken, if Bert ever discovers it!

jamm-I think you are on the right track. Ken gets the big bucks because he is involved in so many aspects of the business. The commercial with Peggy, in the potato chip commercial he has the Utz couple with him, Ken is with Sterling when they tell Don, Ken is with Pete when they get the hooker for a client, etc, etc.

I believe he is the one person in Pete's pack that upper mgt trusts and is definately the smartest male. He made the observation about Duck being the best candidate and let's see if Cooper knows it. Also, he talked about Don having a noose with Duck's name on it when they were talking about how Don with deal with the Duckster. He has written short stories and novels.

Ken is definately the most talented in the pack and is paid accordingly.

This whole Peggy thing is a diversion from what I care about. Who cares about the blue egg? I want Don and Roger being themselves (basically alpha male sluts) and coming up with brilliant advertising ideas. I don't care about Peggy and her sister, really don't care about moral dilemmas (hell it's advertising there are no morals that's the point) and was clearly one of the underpinnings of season 1.

I want to see Petey being a little prick. I want to see more of Joan who's a very interesting character (actually I'd like to see lots more of Joan). Peggy, her pain in the ass mother, her poor pathetic sister, and for that matter herself (since I wouldn't bang her on a bet) are of no interest to me whatsoever. That's why to hell with the blue egg.

Well, Pete being a prick will carry more weight if he stays out of his tennis outfit. He ain't going to snag any ladies that way.

Okay, Peggy's blue egg can end up in potato salad for the next episode!

Ken's IS the most savvy guy in the group (Pete, Paul, Harry) for pegging the currents moving around the office, probably resulting in his success in the business. His story could be fun for romps.

Roger's at least making a comeback. I guess he's "exercising" with other ladies to get in shape for some romping with Red. Don't think you'll have to wait too long, Dennis.

jamm54, Ken's "catalog o hoes" and Roger saying "I want that one!" Funny!
It's not too far fetched, either. Ken would be just the type to actually make up one (a catalog) on that new Xerox and hand them out complete with phone numbers and pics...and even "menus" as Vicky put it!!!!
Loved it when Roger tried to get her to give him her cheapest rates!!!
