2. the actual mating call

...of the Gecko sounds very much like "Fuck YOU! Fuck YOU"! This was noticed by G.I.s who found the call unnerving when patrolling in the jungle...personally, I think that is exactly what the insurance agency is tryinf to tell us.

The current one with him on the bridge makes me want to scream. I bet insurance premiums pays that little fucker's salary.

I like the one where the gecko is line dancing at the big nightclub in Texas. I think he's kind of cute.

Jan 2012

On a youtube video, doing a standup routine before she was "discovered"...I think it was in the '80s. She looked like a real starving artist, she was very funny in a heartwarming way... she was joking about having toshop at the dollar store, and taking items home noone else would buy because they asked her to "be their special friend"... Flo is one of the 99%. I feel sorry for her having to work for pricks like Progressive. Look, they are already trying to replace her with a "Flobot"!!!

he will be mine.

all mine.
and we could do the two-step all night long

after eating steaks

and drinking beers.


I would even do the big hair thing just for my little gecko

and Grovelbot could come too.

what a party that would be.


oh dear.




perhaps, I have shared too much
