Miss Ya, Mitch






I recently got the new Mitch Hedberg CD. Mitch Hedberg was one of my favorite comedians. He had a unique way of looking at the world, and a unique delivery as well. In a world full of stale sitcoms and unfunny comedians(Larry the cable guy, I'm pointing at you), Mitch was a breath of fresh air. Here are some quotes from his material:






"If I was the Headless Horseman's horse, I would fuck with that dude. 'Yeah, we're going that way, not toward hay.' "






" I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside."






"I got an ant farm...them fellas didn't grow shit."






If you're not familiar with his work, go check it out. You'll be glad you did.
Rest in peace, Mitch.

I did not know he had died. Lana and I really liked him as well.

Charles,

He died a few years back. I was really bummed that he was gone.

I was somewhat familiar with Mitch's "work". He was ONE fucked up dude, though.
