He will be missed.

2. You might even ask

Heard of him?

Because I don't have a clue who he is other than that his reported death is (supposedly) an April Fool's joke.

7. Not a joke

It has been reported everywhere. That dude was pretty messed up on junk...or something nasty.

5. Aw fuck

An escalator can never break, it can only become stairs.

6. I got to see him last year...

COmedy Central sent out a package tour with Dave Attell, Lewis Black, and Mitch Hedberg (who I'd never heard of) was the opening act...a GREAT night, and Hedberg really cracked us all up (we were pretty drunk so his humour really worked for us).

Definitely sad...comedians are the only people that seem to get ideas and concepts through the MSM (i.e. Bill Hicks)...sad when the good ones die so young...

9. I saw him on that package tour as well...

My husband's going to be upset when he hears the news...he *loved* Mitch's standup.

"I tried to walk into a Target store today, but I missed."

"When I was little, I slept on a twin bed. Every night I would lie there and wonder where my brother was."

Just two of my faves...

8. Koala Bears...

"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... and I don't want'em to, you know? I'm like 'Hey! Hold on, fellas! Let me hold one of you, and feed you a leaf.'"

10. Red Banana

"On a traffic light green means go and yellow means yield, but on a banana it's just the opposite. Green means hold on, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the fuck did you get that banana at"

on Turtle neck sweaters:

"I hate turtle necks. I have such a weak neck. Plus if you wear a turtle neck it's like being strangled by a really weak guy... all day. And if you wear a turtle neck and a back pack it's like a weak midget trying to bring you down. "

[phusion]

11. I haven't slept for 7 days...

Because that would be too long.

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana so I said NO. But I wanted a regular banana later...so, YEA."

12. On Bigfoot:

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, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here.

And Mitch used to live here in Seattle. RIP.

13. "I find that ducks opinion of me depends greatly on...

whether or not I have bread."

RIP, Mitch. Saw him a few months ago, he was funny as hell.
