Slog - Comments on "What is with his SPELLING?!?" http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/what_is_with_his_spelling Poor Steve is having a very bad day. Can you help him find Iaian? It's amazing how quickly one can go from preparing for a big meeting to getting tackled by security. My new hero....

I often take a shortcut through the Westin - mcdonald's to monorail street - and how I wish Seattle was ready for more performance art like that.
Paulus, you rock.

But then, I've never been a fan of confrontational comedy. What's the end point? Running into a crowded mall with a Uzi screaming, "No one move or I'll shoot?"

Hardy-har-har.

If this was real, the guy's an asshole. If this was performance art, the guy's also an asshole.

Their standard schtick was- This dude would walk into a crowded area, you'd hear the classic Motorola cell-phone ring (the instantly-recognizable one), then he'd whip out this GINORMOUS phone... like, it was three feet long. And he'd absolutely SHOUT into it: "HELLO! YES! HELLO! NO, I'M ON THE PHONE! AT THE PARK! HELLO? HELLO?"

Always cracked me up. Always.

The lady is not as good of an actor.

It's a little over the top at places, but I'm pretty sure that guy was a partner in New York.

What kind of tacky hotel is that? Back in my hotel days, I'd have had his fat ass kicked out after his first glamour fit with the cell phone.

Blowhards like him are a dime a dozen, burnout - and the Westin probably sees more than their fair share of them. They know how to get rid of 'em before they regress to that level.

If I had a dime for every shithead like that who told me that they'd have me fired, I'd be a rich man.
