Once In A Lifetime.......

You meet someone who gets the big break, they get discovered, and soar to the top! Well guys & gals, it has happened to your ol buddy Geico! I get my own TV show!

I'm going to need an entourage, Geico groupies, and I think you guys would be the best groupies a caveman could want.

More like your replacement gets discovered.

You, lowly salamander, are relegated to late night reruns, and YouTube.

Phox, you may be partially correct. I am thinking only reruns...

I dont even think it will make late night reruns on the lowly cable channels...

I was speaking of the Geico commercials with the Gecko.

Caveman is getting all the prime spots, so the Gecko gets the cheap slots, I.E. late night inbetween infomercials.

As far as the pilot ever seeing airtime, I highly doubt it.
But, then again, there have been worse ideas put on TV.

I see the janitor getting promoted to driver... he could even stretch a CTD for you like a limo. No suspension mods needed to add the jacuzi either.

Come to think of it, I had a monitor once. It always did it's "duty" in the water dish. Made it easy to keep the cage clean, but I don't think I'd like to sit in the jacuzi with one.

"Sorry we couldn't get that to you sooner".

The only commercials I find more entertaining are the new cell phone ones (can't remember the company) the one's about dropped call etiquette?

Hilarious.

Oh.... so it's happened already huh!!!!! You waited until I spent all that money having a new sig. made, and put up! Well......you've already have gotten to big for your rock. Hey buddy, I remember when you were just a starving little unknown, standing on the side of the interchange, nothing but scales and bones, holding up that pathetic looking little sign "Will act for Crickets". HUH, lizards, who needs em!
