A guy called "Disco Ernie"? He's an 87 year old male stripper in the Indiana area. First, let me tell you how I found out about Disco Ernie.
I was at Kroger with one of my bros, buying groceries or something, and we see this old man wearing a hat and shirt that say Disco Ernie on them. We figured it was some kookie old man, and that was his nickname at his retirement home, because he liked to dance or something. Little did we know how MUCH he liked to dance!
A few months later, the guy I was with the first time ran into Disco Ernie at Kroger again, still not knowing his story, and he happened to have a camera with him. He and the other guys there got their pictures taken with Disco Ernie. That weekend, he was talking about it, and another guy's girlfriend told us she thought he was a stripper. She found an article from her home paper, in northern Indiana, about Disco Ernie.
Well, I had almost forgotten about him, and I was at a concert in Indianapolis at Deer Creek, or Verizon Wireless Center if you prefer. The DJ says they have a special guest. Out come two female strippers, and they strip down to their bikini's, and then out comes Disco Ernie. They stripped him down to a speedo and he was dancing with the girls, grinding on them and all that. I imagine most of the people had no idea he was really a stripper though. Here are a couple of photos of him. Warning about the second one. It doesn't show anything, but it's still not pretty.

Anyway, I can't wait to see him at Kroger again, so I can tell him I saw him at X-Fest!
