Celebrity Encounter: Ron White

So if you dont know who Ron White is, dont feel bad, I didnt either til last night. Turns out hes some Redneck/Blue Collar comedian famous for drinking scotch and smoking cigars during his acts.

So...A friend and I are at the bar sitting at a table for four and there are two of us. In walks this old dude smoking a cigar acting like he owns the place. A few randos cheer for him leading us to wonder "who is that?" Turns out the overflow of people downtown was due to his comedy show.

Friend Dave and I are making fun of this comedian acting like a big head, Dace goes to get us drinks and comedian motions to the chair across from me to ask if he can sit. I nod sure (all verbal communication was not an option bc the band/speakers were 10 feet from our ears thus deafening all of us to the voices of anyone else in the bar lol). Then some fan of his taps him on the shoulder and says something to the effect of "Great show. Im glad you could come to town!" And the comedian totally blows him off. Finally the guy tries again and the comedian looks over his shoulder, points to the stage and says "Im trying to watch the show". RUDE.

A few mins later, after hes done smoking his "perscription california grade A weed" (probably the same kind he was busted for possessing in Vero Beach in 08) in his tour bus that happens to be blocking the north bound lane of state street...he comes back to the table. Dave and I had gotten popcorn and it was sitting on our side of the table, between us. Mr Rude comedian reaches his massive dirty oven mitts across the table and eats our popcorn! without even asking! When its gone he makes a gesture signaling there is no more popcorn. I say to him, pointing, "Theres a machine in the corner. Help yourself."

I look over a few minutes later to see him bypass the baskets and instead shove his mitts into the popcorn machine, ignoring all sanitary concerns, and standing there eating out of the machine. Nasty ass.

Twenty minutes later the old turd is making out with a twenty something on the dance floor.

And this sums up my encounter with the one, the only, comedian Ron White. Bleh.

I get that youre some D-list (if that) celebrity and you think you own shit but Ron White, this is Erie, and half of us dont know who you are. Settle down.
