Bwahaha!! I absolutely LOVED that line.
LOL
I NEVER got to see him. I think he came to my area, but I always seemed to miss it. :(
I think you have it exactly right.
Who are you again?
LOL
I love that one.
...why do we gotta keep going around in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy - you really like Tide!
RIP Mitch.
LOL. Touche'.
Dang, I can't believe you've never heard of me. I'm famous for, ummmm, well, I'm famous. Famous for being famous. Trust me.
LOL! I love the DuFrane story! We sometimes imitate it when we have a long wait at a restaurant. Mitch will be missed.
why is a staircase that's moving down called an escalator? Shouldn't it be a descalator?
Johnny Carson had a good one: "There was a power failure today. Three valley girls were stuck on the escalators."
None of us knows 1%, or even 1/1000 of 1%, of the human experience. In other words, we are all ignorant. I, for instance, know essentially nothing about the sport of cricket. But if someone mentions a star cricket player, I certainly am not going to jump onto the thread and proclaim my ignorance on the subject. Who would care? What would the fact that I know nothing about the subject add to the discussion?
"It's the cutest infestation ever!"
LOL. Damn I liked this guy.
Here's a link to their site.
Thanks.
Great screenname.
Comedian Mitch Hedberg dies at 37
Jokester was set to perform at Baltimore's Improv; Cause of death unknown

It seemed like just another on-air phone call. Shortly before 10 a.m. today, the hosts of the Kirk, Mark and Lopez morning show on 98 Rock (WIYY-FM) dialed the number of standup comedian Mitch Hedberg, who was scheduled for a phone interview.
The nationally known jokester was booked for five straight shows at Baltimore's Improv beginning last night.
A distraught-sounding woman answered and said that Hedberg wasn't available. She hung up.
The mystery wasn't cleared up until midafternoon today, when the comedian's publicists announced that Hedberg, 37, had passed away the night before. The cause of death was still unknown.
Stephanie Drummond, producer of the drive-time show, was grappling with her disbelief today. Hedberg, who had become a semi-regular in recent years on such national TV shows as Late Night With David Letterman and Late Late With Craig Kilborn, had appeared many times on the station, which works closely with the Improv chain.
"He's a wonderful guy," she said. "His delivery is so dry. He's like [deadpan comic] Steven Wright, with a little bit of hippie in him."
The show was bombarded with e-mails asking about Hedberg today, many wondering if it was an April Fool's joke. It wasn't.
"We'll be playing a lot of his highlights on the [Friday morning] show," she said. "He'll be missed."
Just two weeks ago, the long-haired comic had tried out a few new jokes on the Howard Stern Show. Some were about satellite radio, which he said he was beginning to hear frequently during his cross-country travels. "There's a reason you can curse" on satellite radio, he said. "Nobody's listening."
The Improv announced this afternoon that comedian Randy Kagan, who was slated to open for Hedberg, would be headlining tonight through Sunday.
