Too Much Christmas Cheer

OK, OK, I know many of you have been panicking out there, wondering what the hell happened to this blog that used to have a post every darn day. I know it's probably been hard getting yourselves to sleep at night this last week as you pondered whether "TODAY" would be the day that some fresh content appeared. I'm happy to say that your Christmas wish has come true. You can thank me later. Seriously, though I've been busy with family functions, last-minute shopping and all the normal things as I'm sure many of you have been, so that's why there hasn't been an update in a while. I won't make that a habit, I promise.
Now, onto other things.
I don't really have a theme in mind for this post other than to say I'm back so I hope this doesn't ramble too much. Does anyone like those Geico commercials with the caveman? I have to admit I didn't at first, but they have really grown on me, especially in comparison to the movie of long ago of the same name, sorry Ringo. The commercial I saw tonight with the caveman debating on a CNN-like talkshow was hilarious. You can see it below.

The caveman's comments are hilarious. And the lady at the end is pretty funny too, especially the look she gives the camera after she offends the caveman. It reminded me of some of the other great caveman-related comedy. I'm sure you all remember this Phil Hartman character on SNL. It was very simple classic stuff ("I'm just a caveman.") but somehow it always got a laugh. Also, does anyone remember Marquette men's basketball coach Tom Crean, not the Irish explorer? Crean the coach, top mug on the right, was often compared to having a caveman-like look (I don't remember if that was only an inside joke with us or if it was a well-held belief. Be the judge based on the mug shot). Also, there's Chris "Caveman" Kaman, who recently cut his hair and actually looks presentable these days. I don't know what it is about cavemen, but sometimes they're funny.
