Poetri and Arby's
« on: May 22, 2007, 04:30:51 PM »
Man, that Poetri sure looks good in a yellow and black bee suit working that jack hammer doesn't he???

When I pointed him out on TV to our 18 year old daughter Maggie, she said, "Hey, I know him! He stayed here before. Now he's famous!"

Please tell me this isn't the first time you've seen him on TV.

Steve...c'mon. Don't tell me that.

No, I saw him on TV before, but this is the first time I've ever seen him working a jack hammer wearing a black and yellow bee suit!

Actually, it´s the first time I have seen him on TV as well.  What else has he done?

He played (of all things) a host for a Poetry Slam on one episode of The Ghost Whisperer and I saw him in another commercial once, but I'm having trouble remembering what it was. Not like that bee suit!

Remember that show Black & White (it's in this forum somewhere)? He was on that.

He is one of the Arby's guys (been in a rack of commercials for them); he's done other commercials I think

And then the stuff Steve said.

More stuff is on his website: http://poetri.com

He was also in the recent Will Ferrell movie "Blades of Glory." For a second. But he had one of the funnier moments in the movie. While sportscasters were discussing the "ridiculousness" of two male pair skaters, Poetri, being interviewed on the street, holds up a hotdog bun with two hotdogs inside it and asks, "Does this look right to you?"

I meant see it at all.

I had to go see it because one of our former poets was an extra in the movie and shown quite a bit.

Better than average.  He had no lines, but I recognized him on three different occasions.

I couldn't tell you what the hell the movie was like, I was just looking for Mike.
