Mitch Hedberg Dies (1968 - 2005)

Mitch Hedberg used to do drugs. He would still be doing drugs, except he died earlier this week in his hotel room due to an apparent heart attack.

I can honestly say that I never thought any comedian was as funny as he was. He swore a lot (when he wasn't on TV), but his jokes were funny because they were silly and clever, not because they were offensive. He never made jokes about religion, sex, or politics.

My friends and I quote him about every 30 seconds. That's not likely to stop, but for a while the quotes will be followed by, "dang it, I wish he were still alive."

You can buy his two CDs ("one of them is in stores") on-line. There's a lot more I could say about him, but nothing that hasn't already been said elsewhere on the web. Just Google it if you've never heard his stuff. Then you'll be mourning his death, too.

I like corn on the cob, but they should change the name. They should just call that 'corn' and call everything else 'corn off the cob'. It's like you cut my arm off, you'd call it 'Mitch' but if you reattach it you would call it 'Mitch All Together"

I'm trying to eat healthy. I think it should be where healthy food cancels out unhealthy food. Like if a carrot and a potato chip arrived at my stomach, the carrot could go "It's ok, he's with me."

You ever notice that all those photos of Bigfoot are always out of focus? I just think Bigfoot is naturally blurry. And that is *extra* scary to me.
