Hey, loud cellphone guy
Why is it when people talk on their cell phones in public places, they feel as though they are sitting in their own sound proof living room? This guy was sitting next to me at the Las Vegas airport the other day. I was tired, on my way home from a work trip (in Denver, not Vegas -- Vegas was just a stopover. Too bad) and wanted to punch him when he took out his phone and started talking...loudly.
Instead of punching I decided it would be great sport to see if I could break out my Treo and video Mr. Annoying Businessman sitting right next to me without him knowing. All so I could show you, my loyal reader(s), just how effing annoying this guy was. Please note how clearly you can hear him. And that's through a crappy Treo microphone. The video is short and doesn't do the experience justice. Hope you get the idea.

There's a pretty good commercial that makes your point...first the guy is talking about aunt Mildred's operation at the dinner table at a dinner party and everyone is horrified, but, then the scene is replayed only he's just within ear shot of the dinner table, but, he's talking on his cell phone and that makes it ok! Haven't a clue what the commercial is about.
However, I hate to inform you that by taking the video you've broken Nevada's biggest law the "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas law"! If you see Elvis with a badge run for it, though it may just be one of your typical BART co-commuters!
Denver and Vegas sounds good! I'm currently above the artic circle in Russia...the closet civilization is Usinsk (you may be able to get a cell phone signal there!?!?
Dude, your travel is out of control.
And if I see Elvis with a badge, I will not run. I will be taking his picture (preferably clandestinely with the Treo) and blogging about him. Why? Because that's a what a true blogger does. Then again, a true blogger also blogs at least once a day instead of once every couple weeks like I do.
Please bring me vodka.
