So, when I was working today I served my local news anchorman a souvenir refill of a Diet/Vanilla Coke mix. Lance West (http://www.kfor.com/Global/story.asp?S=211635) to be exact. Now, this is nothing to anybody here, but I've been watching him on Channel Four since I've been old enough to actually pay attention to the news. He's the guy who's always been on the TV. Sort of a semi-celebrity.
Anyway, I didn't say anything to him when he was there. I actually wasn't sure it was him until he talked (I still haven't figured out if he really talks like an anchorman normally or if he was just acting out his "persona"); I also didn't want to ruin his happy time at Frontier City or anything by pointing out the obvious to him ("Hey, you're the news guy!" "Wow! Really? I am? Neat!") Anyway, he left and Ashley walked up to the front to do something or another. I excitedly said, "That was the news guy!" (not quite so obvious when the other person may not have recognized him) and she was acting enthusiastic, too.
She thought he was the weather man (he's not) and we were talking about that ("That was the weather man!" "No! It wasn't!") when this other guy ordered something (and obviously heard us talking). He went out and handed Lance West, news anchor, some stuff and they walked off in their little group. Kind of ruined the whole "Nope, don't know you" thing I had going on.
Anyway, I thought it was neat. Thought to share.
*shrugs and walks away*
