You have to give him this much credit: 17 years after releasing his hit single and 16 years, 364 days and 22 hours after becoming a punchline for everyone from 3rd Bass to Ice-T, Vanilla Ice is still out there doing “Ice, Ice Baby.”

And still, apparently, getting girls to show off the goods for it. At least, that’s what happened Saturday night at the Rio’s McFadden’s, when Ice was apparently a huge hit with a bacherlorette in a beer-swilling competition.

At least he didn’t destroy McFadden’s with a bat.

Shortly after this picture was taken, Vanilla stared longingly at a pair of parachute pants in a store window.

You’ve got your Bogart in Casablanca, you’ve got your Gable in Gone with the Wind, you’ve got your Cooper in High Noon, but if you really want to capture that stoic, hard-but-soulful leading man vibe, you need to look no further than Vanilla Ice in Cool as Ice. See, they called it that because the star was named Vani– well, you get it.

You could even get your chance to ask him about it because Vanilla, who will never escape that name no matter how much he insists on returning to his birth name, Rob Van Winkle, will be on hand at McFadden’s inside the Rio Saturday at 11 p.m. to do all those things he’s known so well for. You know, sending word to one’s mother. Being white. Etc. We hope he plays that song from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2.
