Still, it's troublesome unwinding the mythology of his goodness, working to find something new or dark in the guy who's seasoned Don Draper over the course of five long years as a literary amalgam, a survey of twentieth-century professional white male protagonists, transforming Draper from a swarthy Gatsby to the jumpy, half-defeated Babbitt who ended season four, and moving onward now perhaps toward a soused Henderson the Rain King. He has never wounded, libeled, bilked, conned, swindled, double-crossed, misled, counterfeited, fleeced, or shanghaied anybody. And there is nothing we do not know about Jon Hamm. Procrustes said "Knowledge is pain," I think. In truth, Jon Hamm returned to the audition seven times over several weeks. Contrary to popular belief, the audition was not the one in which Hamm repeatedly field-dressed a self-inflicted chest wound as show creator Matthew Weiner callously noshed on the rugelach Hamm himself had crafted for the occasion from a Pillsbury piecrust slow-baked in an earthen oven. In 2007, almost fifteen long, hardworking years after his arrival in Los Angeles by way of the Corolla, he won the role of Don Draper on the surprise television hit Mad Men. (Interesting tidbit: Jon Hamm has two index fingers on his right hand.) Everyone says it really no longer sounds like Hamm at all. Hamm is known to sometimes demonstrate the system by repeatedly jabbing the play button with his index finger. Reports say the primitive system featured three commands - "Get going," "Turn here," and "Better bed down for the night" - issued at specific intervals from the tinny speaker of a cassette player. The voice? Hamm's, of course, an ironic precursor to his current role as the voice of Mercedes-Benz commercials. What you may not know: This Corolla featured an incredible talking glove box that today is accepted as one of the world's first stand-alone nav systems.

In a letter to this author, Hamm described the departure thusly: Surely you already know this: After one year of teaching high school, Jon Hamm left his hometown. Reputedly, Hamm was known for reading-lists comprised exclusively of Ukrainian lit (leaning heavily on Prokhasko's The UnSimple and Volodymyr Drozd's Everything All Over Again) and for a grim insistence that students embrace a system of writing he developed called "think drafting," which was later adopted by both Otterbein and Bard. Partially true fact: Jon Hamm once taught high school English at the John Burroughs School in St. Incidentally, rumors that The Music Man was based on the early life of Jon Hamm are entirely untrue. Amazingly, in the twelve years Hamm's lived here, the same eagle has sat in the shadows on consecutive days only three times.
This puts the eagle that looks the least like Jon Hamm on a given day in shadow once the sun goes behind Hamm's enormous seven-story garage. The remaining eagles are also ranked by their resemblance that day, from left to right. Previously unknown: Every morning, these eagles are fed, then rotated by a robed assistant whose sole duty is to judge which of these regal birds looks most like Jon Hamm on that particular day before placing said eagle on the left-most perch. Four species of eagle: golden, tawny, Spanish Imperial, and short-toed snake. They sit on separate perches in his backyard. Little-known fact: Jon Hamm owns four eagles.
