if it's true and it's not an april fool's kind of thing, mitch hedberg died yesterday.
i got turned on to his comedy about 4 years ago when i met john. i can remember being drunk off my ass and laughing so hard watching his stand up routine. i was an instant fan. i wish i still had john's number to call him and talk about this.
he really had the deadpan delivery mastered.
a taste of his brand of humor (also see the subject of this post):
the reason i'm not a household name is because my fans live in apartments.
i love blackjack. but i'm not addicted to gambling. i'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.
i was walking down the street with my friend and he said "i hear music." as though there's any other way to take it in. you're not special. that's how i receive it too...i tried to taste it, but it did not work.
i like rice. rice is great if you're hungry and want 2000 of something.
alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only disease that you can get yelled at for having. dammit Otto, you're an alcoholic. dammit Otto, you have lupus. one of those two doesn't sound right.
damn i'll miss that funny fucker.
