If you’re a regular listener of Opie and Anthony, or if you remember Last Comic Standing, you might remember Rich Vos. His catchphrase is “I stink.” He’s also the guy that compulsively ironed his clothes on the Last Comic Standing Show. Here’s his headshot (from his site, RichVos.com):

He’s in town this weekend doing shows at the Comedy Connection. Yesterday after work, I met up with a friend of mine for a drink. As I was waiting for him to cross over from the north end, I saw someone I recognized. He was smoking a cigarette and headed into the corner convenience store presumably to buy more smokes.

Now I was thinking: what (if anything) should I say to the guy? I don’t want to look like stalker guy, but I wouldn’t mind trying to score free tickets to his show. Maybe I should just say hi and tell him I enjoy it when he’s on the show.

Vos is still in the store, and my friend is in sight. Vos leaves the store and walks toward where we’re going anyway, so my friend and I are about 20 feet behind the guy. We’re both big fans of O&A, so we wanted to at least say hi.

But I think we’re crossing the line here. We turn the corner, and he ducks into the cigar store, so we keep going. We’re two guys in our late 20s, and we weren’t about to wait outside to say hi to a comic. I think he actually spotted us and went into the cigar shop to dodge us.

We stink.
