Mad Men Season 5: Predictions For Joan, Megan, Sally, Betty, Peggy Et. Al.

And so the moment AMC has poured untold thousands of advertising dollars into is here: the long-awaited premier of Season 5 of "Mad Men." As you swish by in your Peggy- or Joan-inspired frock at a premier party or hunker down in your circa 1999 Old Navy sweats to watch at home, we invite you to play a little game with us.

Until that occurs, probably none of these predictions will come to pass, but here's hoping.
