Comedian Mitch Hedberg. R.I.P

Damn, 37yrs old. The world just got even less funny.
Heroine overdose, confirmed elsewhere. Don't do drugs, kids.

"I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that."

"I had a bag of Fritos, they were Texas grilled Fritos. These Fritos had grill marks on them. Hell yeah, reminds me of summer time, when we used to fire up the barbeque and throw down some Fritos. I can still see my dad with the apron on, better flip that Frito, Dad, you know how I like mine."

"I want to be a race car passenger: just a guy who bugs the driver. 'Say man, can I turn on the radio? You should slow down. Why do we gotta keep going in circles? Can I put my feet out the window? Boy, you really like Tide."

"I hate turkeys. If you stand in the meat section at the grocery store long enough, you start to get mad a turkeys. There's turkey ham, turkey bologna, turkey pastromi,.Some one needs to tell the turkey, man, just be yourself"

"I like refried beans. I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time"

"I was walking by a drycleaner at 3a.m. and there was a sign that said Sorry, we're closed. You don't have to be sorry. It's 3a.m. and your a drycleaner. It would be ridiculous for me to expect you to be open. I'm not gonna come by at 10 and say, hey I was here at 3a.m and you guys were closed. Someone owes me an apology"

"My apartment is infested with koala bears. It's the cutest infestation ever. Way better than cockroaches. When I turn on the light, a bunch of koala bears scatter, but I don't want them too. I'm like, 'Hey... Hold on fellows... Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf."

The world will be a less funy place.  :'(
If there's bees in the trap I'm catching em
By the thorax and abdomen
And sanding the stingers down to a rough quill
Then I dip em in ink, and I scribble a bit
But if it they wriggle then I tickle em until they hold still
Lemme say it again
In my land of pretend
I use bees as a mf'n pen

Brilliant comedian.  I was at his Detroit show last month...  It was great, best comic I've seen live.  At one point, he hid behind the stage curtain, taunting the spot light guy to see if he could find him.  I've never laughed so hard at a show.  Ah, damn...

I'm sad...I had always hoped to see him in person.  Very unlikely, but I'm still hoping for this to be a very bad April Fools joke.

He was up front about it too. He's got another one-liner that goes something like,
"I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too."

This guy was/is and will probably remain one of my absolute favorite comedians. It's because of him that I can no longer refer to a "Cheese Grater" as a Cheese Grater, but instead I always call it a "Sponge Ruiner." Just as he suggested.  :(

"I got into and argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That's a bad place for an argument, because I tried to walk out and slam the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Zipper it up real quick?"

"I was going to get  my teeth whitened, but I said screw that, I'll just get a tan instead." 

"I was at this casino minding my own business and this guy came up to me and said your gonna have to move you're blocking a fire exit. As if there were a fire, I wasn't gonna run. If you are flamable and have legs you are never blocking a fire exit."

"I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're going and hook up with them later." 

"I was walking down the street with my friend and he said "I hear music" As though there's another way you can take it in. Your not special. That's how I recieve it too. I tried to taste it, but it did not work." 

"I went to the park and saw a kid flying a kite. The kid was really excited. I don't know why, that's what they're supposed to do. Now if he had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed." 

"I was at the airport and this guy came up to be and said I saw you on tv last night. He didn't say if  I was any  good. He just told me where I was. So turned away for a minute and said Hey I saw you at the airport a minute ago. You were good." 

I can't get into flossing, I can't. People who smoke say you don't know how hard it is to stop smoking. Yes I do. It's as hard as it is to start flossing. You seem jittery. Yeah, I'm about to floss. 

"One time a guy handed me a picture of himself and he said. "Here's a picture of me when I was younger." Every picture of you is of when you were younger. Here's a picture of me when I'm older. How'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera." 

"I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out. They sold their soul to the devil and the devil is....Dill." 

"I was walking by a drycleaner at 3a.m. and there was a sign that said Sorry, we're closed. You don't have to be sorry. It's 3a.m. and your a drycleaner.

Let me ask you something, how do you feel about frilly toothpicks? I'm for them." 

"I opened a yogurt and underneath the lid it said "please try again" they were having  a contest that Iwas unaware of. I thought maybe I had opened the yogurt wrong.Or maybe Yoplait was trying to inspire me. Come on Mitch, don't give up! An inspirational  message from your friends at Yoplait, fruit on the bottom, hope on top." 

"I brought  a donut and the guy gave me a recieipt for the donut. I don't need a receipt for the donut, I give you the money, you give me the donut, end of transaction. We do not need to bring ink and paper into this. I can not imagine the senerio where I would have to prove that I broughrt  a donut. Some skeptical friend.  Don't even act like I didn't get that donut. I got the documentation right here." 

"When you go a resturant on the weekends and it's busy so they start a waiting list. They say Dufrane, party of two, table ready for Dufrane, party of two , and if no one answers the'll say the name again, Dufrane, party of two. Bu then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. Bush party of three. Yeah, but what happened to the Dufranes, No one seems to care, who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufranes are in someone's trunk right now ,with duct tape over their mouths and they're hungry.That'sa double whammy! We need help! Bush search aparty of three. You can eat once you find the Dufranes."
 
I got an ant farm. Them fellas don't grow <auto-censored>.

Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load <auto-censored> into a truck.

I got my hair highlighted, because I felt some strands were more important than others.

I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, "I really enjoy being here," but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so I crossed it out and wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of <auto-censored> you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away...
...and then at the end of the letter I like to write "P.S. - this is what part of the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

My sister wanted to be an actress, but she never made it. She does live in a trailer. She got half way. She's an actress, she just never gets called to the set.

An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You would never see a escalator temporarily outta order sign, just escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience... we appologize for the fact that you can still get up there"


I played golf...I did not get a hole in one, but I did hit a guy. That's way more satisfying...
...You're supposed to yell 'fore' but I kept thinking there ain't no way that's gonna hit him.

I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone needs to get a hold of me they just say, "Mitch," and I say, "What" and turn my head slightly...

My friend said to me, "You know what I like? Mashed potatoes." I was like, "Dude, you have to give me time to guess. If you're going to quiz me you have to insert a pause."

Alcoholism is a disease, but it's the only one you can get yelled at for having. <auto-censored> it Otto, you are an alcoholic. <auto-censored> it Otto, you have Lupus... one of those two doesn't sound right.

I tried to throw away a yo-yo. It was <auto-censored> impossible.

If carrots got you drunk, rabbits would be f'ed up.

I like swiss cheese. It's the only cheese you can draw with a pencil and identify.

I like vending machines, because snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at the store oftentimes I will drop it, so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential.

I did enjoy some of his stuff, but if anyone else would make fairly obvious obsrevations like that it would seem lame.
