I just want to say this:

I love being right.

That's all.

Carry on.

Funny thing is, I hadn't even been reading eaglesbaby's thread. Something just smelled off from the get-go.

Maybe we need to get Denise Swanson (she's an ASA and writes the Scumble River Mystery Series) over here to write up some real recruitment fiction.

From stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

The show is set in 1960 and features meticulous art direction that strives to make the show as historically accurate as possible. This veracity makes the show especially vulnerable to one of white people’s favorite activities on earth: finding mistakes. And as is always the case with white people, the harder someone strives for accuracy, the happier a white person is to prove them wrong.

Yeah! To prove the point, it drives me nuts when people on MadMen say "have a nice day." Total anachronism. That saying was not in use in the 60s.

Really? "Have a nice day" is a recent invention? Tell me more! It seems too blase to be a fad phrase.

Maybe with the smiley face? I think that was 80s. I mean, I'm sure people said "have a nice day" in the 60s but they probably meant it.

Upon further research, I've found that it became a cliche in the 70s through truckers on their CB radios.

I'm sure the phrase occurred in the 60s but it wasn't an off-hand way of saying good-bye like it came to be in the 70s so it bugs me when the writers use it in MadMen. The writers are really good about not being anachronistic even when it makes the dialogue sound silly to us now. Anyway, we digress...
