    Re: geico.com

    Then my instincts were correct lol.

    I think those commercials are funny, especially the one where they are on the patio of a penthouse in downtown LA talking to his other yuppie caveman friends.

    Re: geico.com

    Did you hear the geico cavemen are getting their own TV series?

    Well its a pilot for now, but if it does well, it will get bought by a network and become a show...

    Re: geico.com

    I think he was ONE of the people claiming it could POSSIBLY be his.. but I didnt really follow the whole thing too closely....

    I found it amazing that it was such a big news story... only when she drops dead did she get the most fame... amazing...

    It's not moderator only - what you posted is not appropriate for the forums.

    * David Attenborough voice *

    You can see here ladies and gentlemen, a small group of forum moderators chatting amongst themselves in their natural environment. If we're very quiet, we can approach the group and attempt to pat one of them ...

    Oh but wait! One of them has seen the intruders. The Mods go on the attack chasing them down and devouring them in a matter of seconds! What a site! Oh the humanity! Oh the humanity!

    while no regular members can post or see it, regular member names are often in the subject line of the posts in the admin forum Sometimes along with the word banned, sometimes even with the words "banned again"
