Silly and Tasteless Episode 7 Predictions
This is only for silly or tasteless predictions of how the show will open in the very first scene. Sadly, no prizes unless your silly or tasteless prediction actually happens, at which time voting for what kind of prize will commence, and you will be covered in praise by your fellow Maddicts for being silly and tasteless enough to actually have thought of something Matt would actually use...











Let's see...silly and tasteless...
1.) A few of the usual idiots (i.e. Ken and Harry) limp around the office as if mocking poor, footless Guy....generating lots of titters and giggles from the secretarial pool. Don, of course, will scowl in disapproval.
2.) (Do we get to make more than one prediction?)
Anyway, Joan is lying flat on her back in bed, staring into space, as Greg attempts unsuccessfully to make love to her. After this, yet another failure, Greg leaves the apt. never to return (because he "offs" himself in a hotel room later that afternoon).
3.) Sally is busy making the new Barbie into a voodoo doll...who is her victim? No, it's not baby Gene (that would be too tasteless).
4.) Pete and Peggy succumb to their pent up desires and make love in the elevator in front of poor Hollis who has inadvertently stopped the elevator in the "stuck" position. (Hollis will ultimately be fired for the goof while Pete and Peggy resume their careers).
PS: this is my new screen name. I took off StephanieJo.
How tasteless is this?
Betty realizes at nine a.m. that she hasn't heard Baby Gene crying since last night, and finds him not breathing in his crib.
"Of all escape mechanisms, death is the most efficient."

Betty catches Sally having the Barbie doll doing the nasty with two Ken dolls. (That tasteless enough?)
Hmm... Would that be better or worse than the typical Barbie doll decapitation by little brother Bobby as Sally watches, not interfering? (So she gets to blame him for the doll's destruction.)
Jolie10... Good Post! Silly for sure, but I especially like the tastelessness.
I predict that Don Draper comes home to find his wife's lifeless corpse in the oven. The show then becomes a half comedy focusing on his adventures as a single father- kind of like Different Strokes.
Whatcha talkin' 'bout Draper?
Good Luck
Bobby in Don's den sticking Barbie's foot in the pencil sharpener....
Great thread, Zab, as usual...you are always so creative and original when you post a thread..you never repeat yourself or beat an idea into the ground until the bright idea becomes merely a big bore.
Did anyone else think "caterpillar" when they saw Baby Gene swaddled and wriggling on his back?
Hmmmm.... feeling a similarity to Dick Whitman in the Korean war zone scene when he lit the cigarette...whew! (ref: first post on SJ's S3-Ep7 predictions thread)
All: some lovely spoofs here!
Mesdames Z et Z.... lovely to see you here
(Off topic... Zerelda, I've been waiting for opportunity to thank you for turning me on to J.P. Walsh/DLS -- have both books and am savouring them...)
PS Zerelda~I wish you'd change your avatar!!
wow!! get over it! This is a completely different thread
NMY-who r u? of course it's different, it's pathetic!
I predict Sally will be shown, but not caught, cutting all the black hair off her new Barbie. She will then try to glue some of her own hair on the doll. This is when she will be caught. Betty will notice a huge hunk of Sally's hair missing.
How's that?
BT -
We got invitations to two parties. This one sounded like more fun. Yours reminded us of a Sara Lee frozen cake.
LOL!
Some very funny stuff here, and Ritt1, I loved your comment on the main thread about Lois and the chainsaw.
Sab4ever, I can actually see your little scenario happening. My sister cut the hair on all her dolls and once cut a huge long hank off the dog's tail and tried to glue it onto her Barbie 'cause she wanted it to have long hair again.
Walking through the office upon arrival at Sterling Cooper one morning, Pete spies something strange looking over in the corner....walks over to see that it is....(Jaws theme).....Guy's severed,big toe! He picks it up with his handkerchief, puts it in a jar of formaldehyde and keeps it in his lower (locked) desk drawer to take out and look at sometimes.....you said you wanted tasteless and silly...this one being more tasteless than silly. Urp...
Hi SCfan!
Toooo funny!! Pete could hold the toe for ransom to get a promotion...
SCfan-- A terrific toenail sketch!
What's with all the violence against Barbie? LOL!
Ritt - Yours reminds me of times I played with my younger brother and his action figures would always get in a fight-to-the-death with my Ken doll, and poor Ken would always get decapitated.
I want to see the show opening on Hooker cleaning out his desk and handing over the keys to Joan, who would be standing over him. Something would be said about there NOT being a going away party.
Speaking of "SILLY & TASTELESS".......
Fifty two.... toenail sketch?? Priceless!
NNT... Now that really would be a great opening!
Perhaps at some point: camera to breakroom, bulletin board: (Notice) For sale: Golf Clubs, excellent condition: Contact G. McKendrick.
Are you all delirious? Really!
Hanna--I remember those Barbie/Ken/Stacy/Francie/Skipper fights. Someone ALWAYS got decapitated.
And NNT--that's not a tasteless opening, that's a great opening!
We had a Ken doll whose arm kept popping off. We gave up trying to keep it on, so just pinned his sleeve up and gave him an eye patch, a la Basil St. John in the Brenda Starr comics. He was a dark-haired guy with an air of mystery...
I remember Francie. She was the teenaged Mod cousin, wasn't she? Seems to me she wore granny gowns and glasses?
Isn't it great-- we can talk Barbies and still be on-topic?
Opens with Lane, and consequently Hooker, (hard upon his heels) walking into Lane's office.
Lane insists the cobra be removed and Moneypenny obliges, only to be bitten in the nether regions, never to return again.
He and gGuy are seen at their new office, on the Island of Spare Parts, in the vast and once great vast land of the Fallen Golden Boys. .
Betty is pregnant....again.
If Betty is pregnant again, maybe it will be Don's this time, instead of the guy from the bar!
I think the JFK assassination happens right around Roger's daughter's wedding. Wow!
"Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee!"
Obviously, they don't like Sara Lee, they're all here.

Thanks Rich!
Complete idiocy, obviously.
Thanks, SCfan, for the link...I think I loved Paul's reaction the most....as Roger would say, what a sissy Mary!
My Barbie was "mauled" by our guinea pig. She lost 2 fingers and part of her lipstick. Boy was I upset!
Hi z! Yeah, I love the way Paul's arm flies up...a definite sissy Mary!
Love everyone's ideas!
Hi SC... great link... way MAD cool!
Starting my countdown to Sunday... the mystery 723...
Jolie10 - Mauled by a guinea pig! Hilarious! Okay, one last Barbie story - After decapitated Ken one day, my brother fed my favorite Ballerina Barbie to the dog, who bit her hand off. She was thereafter known as "amputee Barbie". Poor, tragic doll.
You have opened an awful door here...maybe a hideous portal, even.
FP--that reminds me of Being John Malkovich. There was a portal into John Malkovich's brain in a bleak office in NYC. Maybe there will be a similar portal in one of the offices into Bert Cooper's brain.
There was a website that sold "different" barbies (I can't find it right now, but if I do, I'll post it).
They had Trailer Trash Barbie, Rabbi Barbie, Sister Mary Barbie, 12-Step Barbie, Birkenstock Barbie, Homegirl Barbie, Cougar Barbie, MILF Barbie, etc. Ambutee Barbie would fit right in.
@Melba: JOLLY GOOD re bulletin board.
@Fifty-Two: I was in LOVE with Basil St. John!
@McTwisty: Good to see you back.
wasthere.. thanks love, and good to see YOU! I wondered where you were...hoped you would return!.
