County Fare

So, some of you who have been loyally following me have been wondering "Hey what happened to Phil and County Fare?" Well That's me up there. Drink in hand, cigarette, and I don't even smoke ! That's what addiction does to you!

You see, 3 weeks ago my lady friend introduced me to a terrible evil. It was strong, dark, and spell binding. it was delicious and even though I tried to fight it I soon proved too weak. I'm ashamed to admit it dear readers but I'M A MAD MEN ADDICT! I'm not proud of this I want to stop . I sit hour after hour watching episode after episode but I can't seem to get enough

It started innocently enough. Sitting with my Sweetheart on a Sunday afternoon. She offered me an episode to watch. I trusted her, what could one episode hurt. It was mildly enjoyable. Then she asked,"How about another?" "Sure" I said "why not?" Little did I know how its story was affecting me.

All that smoking and drinking, all that womanizing and misogamy, who could resist it I mean come on, I'm a read blooded American male. Who could dream of such a wonderful time when you could make crass, crude sexual jokes to women or cheating on your wife ( or husband) . It was just a way of American business. Drinking hard liquor at 9 o'clock in the morning, I mean whats not to Love right?

Don gets to sleep with every woman under the sun. Even weaselly Campbell is getting some and lets not forget Peggy. You go girl! I finished The first season in a week . I finished season 2 in a few days. Then I had to have season 3. We searched the internet for free episodes but there were none. If you wanted your Mad Men fix you had to PAY!!!!!!!. What was I going to do ? Where would I go? Blockbuster? Net Flix's?

Then we had an idea, the local Library! Yes! There they were! Season after season of Mad Men but apparently I wasn't the only one addicted. Copy after copy was checked out until,, there it was season 3! I had to have it and my lady was good enough to get me my fix.

While others did productive work I sat and watched episode after episode, disc after disc. Hour after hour. ignoring all other television, all other activities, even my poor old 85 year old mother. All i cared about was Don, Peggy ,Roger and Betty. Soon I was wearing grey suits and pencil thin ties. I was drink Scotch again and smoking Luck strikes, unfiltered. Yes,yes, more I needed more before Season 5 started I had to see them all! I only have season 4 to watch and soon I'll have that in my shaking hands. M,m,m,m,m, Mad men

I,I Love you.
