Frankly I am creeped out and disturbed, but maybe the commercials really aren't at fault. 
------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I have no idea who or what the prog auto insurance chick is, I did find this cute biker chick though...
 We have Iggy Pop and Alice Copper advertising car insurance in the UK. ------------- What? |

Sleep with her, you'll probably get car insurance for free

Free auto insurance is not a bad thing these days with the global economy. |

Well, Oscar-winners have done greater efforts to look worse in movies, so maybe Flo here deserves a People's Choice (or...Proggers' Choice!!) for her role.

Progressive Insurance isn't specific enough for me. Do they have Zeuhl Insurance or Neo-Progressive insurance. I would probably have to do more doughnuts and wheelies to qualify anyway. But not too many, Tech/Extreme Progmetal Insurance has really high rates. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

I love her.

| If she's progressive, why isn't she here? Is she one of those auto insurance chicks that are progressive, but not prog? |
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:09
Dude! It is up to you to send her an official invite. -------------
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:13
^ Why me? As much as I love her, she's a bit . . . creepy. 
|
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:18
Creepy? No way. Goofy, Hellz ya! I think you are the perfect candidate to ask her. -------------
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:19
| What exactly should I ask her? |
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:21
|
Since she is Progressive, would she consider being part of this website. Maybe she could bring her writers too. -------------
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:22
| As an artist or as some kind of a mascot? |
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:30
As a member. Of course, she could do YouTube videos for the main page. We could have her talking to Robert Fripp about Prog. -------------
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:33
| Oh! I think I'm too shy to ask her... What if she says no? |
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:39
|
You can do it! I have complete faith in your powers of persuasion. She won't say no to you. -------------
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:42
But . . . I don't even know how to contact her. Besides, I can't just ask her, can I? She'd think I'm some kind of a weirdo! (I'm not.) And . . . how am I even supposed to talk to a girl? 
|
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:55
|
OK, here's a rough sketch of how I would ask her: Dear Progressive Auto Insurance Chick! I'm a great fan of your work. It reminds me a bit of Bela Lugosi. Say, have you ever considered becoming a member of a progressive rock site? I sure wish you were here. Sincerely yours, Vompatti. |

First you need an official title as representative of ProgArchives. That will get you beyond the weirdness. You will see this title as a badge of honor. And that badge of honor will give you the confidence to present the idea to her. She will see that confidence and be smitten with you. She will then galdly accept the proposition. -------------

Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 11:57
That was good. -------------

Too bad. I was hoping Vompatti could talk her into coming here and being our mascot. |
Posted By: Vompatti
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 16:40
| I'm afraid I'm not very good at talking progressive insurance chicks into anything. She would make a great mascot though. Or maybe not a mascot, maybe more like some kind of a goddess. |
Posted By: StyLaZyn
Date Posted: January 22 2009 at 17:17

A goddess? That would be the best option. -------------

| Now I'm sure she's a goddess! She just manifested herself in crimhead's avatar! |

Posted By: TheCaptain
Date Posted: January 23 2009 at 16:46
Heck no! I want him. Not for any sexual purposes mind you, but rather to follow me around and narrate everything I do. His voice is one of the most awesome voices behind Morgan Freeman, Isaac Hayes, and Billy Dee Williams. I would add Jeremy Irons to that list but then it wouldn't be exclusively black men and I like to be anti-racist. ------------- Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal. |

Naughty things never happen to her. She's such a sweet girl, why would you think something naughty of her? |

| Well, she's by no means a quiet one. |

So she could be wild and loud in the bed then. |

Where are you, progressive insurance chick? Where does your immense smile now decorate the atmosphere? Whose bed do you sleep in tonight? Are you wild and loud as they say, or gentle and warm, like a panda or the dying light of a summer day on a lonely cliff somewhere not far from the sea? Do your lovely hands ever tire of waving in the air, insuring - by their very mindlessness - insuring. Oh, progressive insurance chick, the laughter of my heart, where are you? |

When I got home there was no progressive auto insurance chick in my bed but it was crawling with British-accented lizards. Allstate said my bed lizard infestation policy didn't cover that sort of thing as it is considered an act of Dog. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Bump. From Wikipedia: Bumping old or inactive ("dead") threads is occasionally called "necroposting" or "thread necromancy", and the bumped posts referred to as "frankenposts". "Dead" threads that are reawakened are often called "thread necros". People who resurrect old threads are often called "threadomancers". |

You know, I think she's hot, but in a creepy way. Kinda like http://www.headinjurytheater.com/article88.htm - Creedence Lenore Gielgud from Troll 2 (don't ask) . So I guess the point is...I can't vote. But awaiting her arrival to the 'chives with baited teeth and all that.
