The hotel where I'm having my wedding reception just jacked up the meal prices.  I understand that the price of food is going up lately.  And I understand that I haven't yet signed a food contract and can't do anything about it. 

But I did sign a contract and forked over a giant rental fee BASED ON THE FOOD PRICES THAT THEY GAVE US!!!

Why the hell does the GEICO gecko have a British accent?
G.E.I.C.O. - Government Employee Insurance COmpany...  as in the US Government.
 So, I understand they aren't solely for government employees anymore, but . . . a British accent? (no offense, Brits; I'm just asking)
 That's a phenomenon here that I wonder if it exists in other places. It seems here in the US, if a commercial has someone with a British or German accent; -oh man- we are SO totally all over that! Its GOT to be true; he has a British accent!!
 Does this happen in other places, in other languages?

For the same reason that the chick at my bank's talking ATM has a British accent, I suspect.  The accent lends an aire of credibility and bad teeth.

Yeh, I wonder if it's just an American thing, or that happens all over (different languages, of course).

Do I have a red x sig or no sig?  On my browser it shows nothing, but at Enrique's I get a red x.

Anyone want to host me if I can find my sig?

He may have changed with time, come to think of it.  He does seem more cockney these days.

That's what I've heard.

I think we're all forgetting a tidbit here though,

He's GECKO, not GIECO. So, since he is simply suffering a continual case of mistaken identity, it's entirely plausible that he could be a cockney tom who likes millwall far more than they deserve as a club, and lives a horrid life of identity crisis and self doubt.

So.. what about this Tempurpedic foam mattress? Is it Swedish, or did NASA develop it? They mention both in the commercial...
