I met the Geico Caveman today. Actually he is one of several cavemen on those commercials. His name is John Lehr and he was really funny. He said last year Geico called him and asked him to go to the Academy Awards as the Caveman. So he went and the women were all over him. One even gave him her card and said "Here's my number. Call me later." So he said the message is for all men to grow facial hair and stop brushing their teeth and the women will be all over them.

He also talked about his TV show Ten Items or Less. It is filmed in a real grocery store and he told a lot of funny stories about people shopping for groceries while they are filming the show.

Here he is with his brother and his mom and her husband.

I will have to keep my eyes open for that show on TBS.

7. Is it on TV?

I thought ABC bought the show, then spiked it.

I'd been waiting for it, too.

5. My God! The teeth totally transform him!

Don't they?

[Aristus]

6. Based solely on those teeth, I'd guess that he was the caveman in therapy.

Is that right?

"It's my mother. I'll put her on speaker..."

9. Oh, yeah. I'll bet you're right. nt

8. I have seen every episode of that show

it is funny. I have been a little bit disappointed with this season, but the turkey bowling was funny.

14. I missed the first season

My favorite show was the one about the illegal alien. I about fell out watching that one.

And if you ever left your house you could do weird shit too. :o

15. That explains it.

And I do weird shit every day I go to work.

[proud2BlibKansan]

But people throw away your weird shit. :)

[evlbstrd]

17. Kind of a futile existence, isn't it?

You're weird shit is admirable and useful.
