Rest Insured
Facebook ads are obviously designed to target individual users. I'm not sure what this one is trying to say.

Going by the picture, I'm guessing that guy does not qualify for the $49 a month rate. Also, it occurs to me that Geico could lower rates even further if they stopped spending $16 billion a year on ad campaigns.
Trivia Rescheduled
For fans of Happy Hour Trivia -- the approaching third end of the world has forced us to reschedule Happy Hour Trivia for Feb. 10. We're pushing everything back two weeks, to Wednesday, Feb. 24. If you want to keep your reservation (or need to change the size of it, etc.) be sure to e-mail trivia@dcstandup.com as soon as possible. Thanks!
Hammerin' Hank
Let's take a minute and think about the amazing career of one Mr. Hank Baskett. He was the fourth receiver on the Philadelphia Eagles. He somehow started dating Kendra from "The Girls Next Door," eventually taking her away from Hef. He knocked up Kendra and became a (sort-of) reality TV star, but he was also cut by the Eagles. Somehow, he ended up on the Colts roster, specifically on special teams.
And then he opened the second half of the Super Bowl by falling into an onside kick like a drunk toddler lunging at a coffee table. Armless people could have looked more graceful trying to catch the ball in their teeth. The Saints go on to win.
Hank, you have lived the hell out of your 15 minutes. May basic cable always have a place for you.
