Geico Caveman
« on: March 16, 2010, 06:31:43 PM »
A bit of humor.  As reported in the Fairbanks Daily News Miner today. 

The Geico Caveman was in Homer Alaska this week shooting commercials.  As he walked around town in his make-up no one noticed.  He seemed to fit right in, looking like any other fisherman in from the sea.  Never know what to think about those folks down in Homer. 
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"
What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Just one of the guys, huh  Sourdough. Sounds like a sophisticated bunch there for sure!  :o

They've done something pretty similar in a research study before.  Took a guy, make-uped him to look like a Neanderthal (for which the Geico cavemen are pretty good approximations of), but then just dressed him in a wind breaker and jeans.  Everyday clothes.  He was able to walk all around at least a few cities without anyone paying any mind.

Kinda makes me wonder.  Just for the sake of matching I will do little things, like never wear a black belt with brown shoes (or vice versa), but if they don't notice a caveman, it certainly would seem that almost no one would notice even more minor things that were "off" about a person.

My wife, the Hen, has always thought I was a little bit Caveman or Western.

Heck if they'd put him on the docks in Kodiak or Dutch Harbor he'd probably get job offers.  We often used to talk about "Deck Apes". All you had to do was be able to push around 1000 pound crab pots 18 to 36 hours without a break and not eat too much. And if you liked herring for breakfast, all the better.  Just had to scoop some out of the bait box and throw it on the grill.

When you've got a monkey in the White House, why be concerned about what's walking around your town?

I've met a few cavemen here in Gawga.  They just moved out of the cave.

Yep and we got a cave woman working at the local Waffle King in town. ;D She's a pretty good cook but after digging through your plate of food to get the hair out.... Lets just say it takes some of the goodness away. :P :P

Up here, you can find them on Church Street in Burlington VT  or in Brattleboro.  They'd be protesting something, the more un-American the better.  In Brattleboro you'll see them out there protesting in the nude--and they ain't purty, either.
