that outrageous audio one from portland...funny story - my friend and i were at a bar around 3 or 4 years ago and that guy was there. he was in a tuxedo...so me and my friend went over to him and started talking about his ads (which are all bizarre). he starts telling us all these crazy stories about getting in fights with gangs, being a multi-millionaire, getting 7 or 8 dui's, etc. we ask why he is wearing a tux - he just says he likes to dress up. he has this little guy with him..says its his friend...the guy is like a midget or something. very odd. we did get him to buy us a pitcher because he was a millionaire. he gave us a card and said we "should party" some time. one of the strangest encounters ever.

I'm a local commercial videographer, and I've made some terrible commercials over the years. I just hope none of mine are on there. That Eastern's is so bad we spoofed it.

Pretty funny that a Texan caught the Vern Fonk commercials - they are pretty weird for sure....

On a side note for the Dana and Rodney and other PDXers on the board - I didn't see any Tom Peterson commercials on there - is he still around?? I'll never forget many of his old commercials and free giveaways...
