Nor have I ever heard a Britney Spears or a 50 Cent song. No, I do not care about the marriage of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez breaking up. And I think the Royal Family of England are a bunch of dysfunctional imbred idiots.
Now this here "Mitch Hedburg" comedian might have been a decent guy and maybe he was the kind of person who would stop on the side of the road to fix somebody's flat tire. Perhaps he once bought a book from a struggling author or maybe he engaged in a conversation with a lonely person on an airplane during a long trans-Atlantic flight. It's too bad that he's dead. He should have lived longer. But I still do not know who he is.
But I do know that he told a pretty good joke about an escalator breaking down thanks to other replies on this thread. I did not know of this joke when he was alive but now that he's dead, I will probably start using it for myself, since obviously he has no further use for it.
Dang Sam, now I know why I like ya!
Fine, then why waste a post, and out time blathering about how you don't know who he is. I don't spam up a thread whenever some Nascar guy dies that I've never heard of. The posters here that are familiar with Mitch's comedy are pretty bummed out, he was a rising star and funny as hell.
