Revelation?
« on: June 30, 2006, 05:15:05 pm »
It dawned on me last night as another Geico commercial came on during the Boston Entertainment and Sports Presentation Network's 73rd broadcast of a Red Sox game:

Gecko speaks like a Brit.  Gecko works in the insurance industry.  Gecko is always on during baseball.

Gecko is Limey! Limey is Gecko!

I'd be willing to be that nobody has ever seen the two in the same room together...

I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

Limey is a different shade of green...

One of my golfing buddies is the gekko.  Not me.

Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it
Truth isn't easy, the easy part's shit
