I am sorry to inform you all that the lizard that played the part of the Geico Gueco has died. One of our computers just stopped working with an odd smell so we sent it to be repaired. I just got a note back from then will a bill of 35 dollars saying they had to change the power supply because a gueco crawled into the power supply and got toasted. :eek:

Do you think I can submit a claim to Geico for the damage done by the Gueco? :rolleyes:

That's the Cost Rican accent he's developed since moving there.

A gueco is a lizard painted by El Greco.

Those are really very annoying commercials. I prefer the caveman spots.

You would prefer otherwise I bet if a caveman tried to crawl into your powersupply.

Sorry for your loss. You will keep us informed about the funeral arrangements and the dedication ceremonies?

First Michael, now Gueco.

Forgive me, El Guapo. I know that I, Jefe, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be that once again, you are angry at something else, and are looking to take it out on me?

That is how it is spelled in Spanish my monolingual friend.

First Michael, now Gueco.

He was unceremoniously cremated. His ashes are enshrined in a place of universal power. (i.e. the old power supply)

Heck, my housemate looks like that Geico gecko. She is so tapped that my father and I call her Geic.

Do they pronounce it "gwecko"? ;)

At least it didn't fall into your cooking and jump out again and then turn black.

Shadiyah,
I blame you guys. Who's to say Gwecko didn't end it all when he found out you left CR? :)

Ah yes, so you remember it well. Pronounced Gecko, like English. The gue = gay and the co is a hard C sound.

My cooking is infamous and unappreciated. :o

That gecko is from England, you can tell by the accent. Yours was some Costa Rican doppleganger. :thumb::p
