Died on the 30th. Crying shame. Here is a snapshot of some of his classics:



Mitch Hedberg wrote:
* I got an ant farm. Them fellas don't grow (#$@%!).

* I went to the store to buy a candle-holder, but they were out. So I bought a cake.

* I haven't slept for ten days, because that would be too long.

* 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 (#$@%!) into a truck.

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

* 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? Man, you really like Tide..."

* 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 (#$@%!) you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away...

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

* I type at 101 words a minute. But it's in my own language.

* 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.

* I have an underwater camera just in case I crash my car into a river, and at the last minute I see a photo opportunity of a fish that I have never seen.

* 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 am older. You son of a bitch, how'd you pull that off? Let me see that camera...

* My roommate says, "I need to shave and use the shower. Does anyone need to use the bathroom?" It's like some weird-ass quiz where he reveals the answer first...

* ...Every time I go and shave I assume there is somebody else on the planet shaving as well, so I say "I'm gonna go shave too"

* Sometimes I wave to people I don't know. It is very dangerous to wave to people you don't know, because what if they don't have a hand? They'll think you're cocky. "Look what I got (motherFranker), this thing is useful...I'm gonna go pick something up"

* 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.

* 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 (Frank) did you get that banana at...

* I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

* 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 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...

* 2-in-1 is a (#$@%!) term, because 1 is not big enough to hold 2. That's why 2 was created.

* I have a cheese-shredder at home, which is its positive name. They don't call it by its negative name, which is sponge-ruiner. Because I wanted to clean it, and now I have little bits of sponge that would melt easily over tortilla chips...

* I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming.

* I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwhiches? All-encompassingly...

* This shirt is dry clean only. Which means...it's dirty.

* I saw a human pyramid once. It was very unnecessary. It did not need to exist.

* I bought a seven dollar pen because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.

* 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 have a friend who is a juggler. When I go to his house I don't like to take food from him if it is in threes. "He has three apples left...I guess I can't have one"

* At my hotel room, my friend came over and asked to use the phone. I said "Certainly." He said "Do I need to dial 9?" I say "Yeah. Especially if it's in the number. You can try four and five back to back real quick."

* My lucky number is four billion. That doesn't come in real handy when you're gambling. "Come on, four billion! (Frank). Seven. Not even close. I need more dice."

* I love blackjack. But I'm not addicted to gambling. I'm addicted to sitting in a semi-circle.

* I went to the park and saw this 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 had a chair on the other end of that string, I would have been impressed.

* If you had a friend who was a tightrope walker, and you were walking down a sidewalk, and he fell, that would be completely unacceptable...

* 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...

* I hope the next time I move I get a real easy phone number. Something like, 222-2222. I would say sweet. People would say, "Mitch, how do I get a hold of you?" I would say, "Press 2 for a while, and when I answer, you will know that you have pressed 2 enough"

* I wrote a script for a guy, and he said he liked it but he thought that I need to rewrite it. I said, "(Frank) that, I'll just make a copy."

* I don't wear a watch because I want my arms to weigh the same. So if somebody asks me what time it is, I have to tell them something that is going on. "What time is it, Mitch?" "Uh, that guy is eating a hamburger." "(#$@%!), I had to be somewhere..."

* My friend said to me "Man, this weather is trippy." I said to him, "No man, perhaps it is not the weather that is trippy, it is the way we perceive it that is indeed trippy..." then I thought, man, I should have just said, 'yeah...'

* Foosball (Franked) up my perception of soccer. I thought you had to kick the ball and then spin 'round and round. I can't do a back flip, much less several...simultaneously with two other guys.

* I never joined the army because at ease was never that easy to me. Seemed rather uptight still. I don't relax by parting my legs slightly and putting my hands behind my back. That does not equal ease. At ease was not being in the military. I am at ease, bro, because I am not in the military.

* The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how much I play, I'll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once. They're (franking) relentless.

* A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer.

* I used to be a hot-tar roofer. Yeah, I remember that...day.

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

* I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too.

* 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."

* I went to see a band in New York. The lead singer got on the microphone, and he said "How many of you people feel like human beings tonight?" Then he said "How many of you feel like animals?" And everyone cheered after the animals part. But the thing is, I cheered after the human being part because I did not know that there was a second part to the question.

* People teach their dogs to sit, it's a trick. I've been sitting my whole life, and a dog has never looked at me as though he thought I was tricky.

* In England Smoky the Bear is not the forest fire prevention representative. They have Smacky the Frog. It's just like a bear, but it's a frog. I think it's a better system, I think we should adopt it. Because bears can be mean, but frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought 'man, I'd better play dead. Here comes that frog...' You never say here comes that frog in a nervous manner. It's always optimistic. Hey here comes that frog, al-right. Maybe he'll come near me so I can pet him, and stick him in a mayonnaise jar, with a stick and a leaf, to recreate what he's used to. And I'm pretty sure I'd have to punch some holes in the lid, because he's damn sure used to air. Then I can observe him, and he won't be doing much in his 16 ounce world.

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

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

* When you go to a restaurant on the weekends and it's busy they start a waiting list. They start calling out names, they say "Dufresne, party of two. Dufresne, party of two." And if no one answers they'll say their name again. "Dufresne, party of two, Dufresne, party of two." But then if no one answers they'll just go right on to the next name. "Bush, party of three." Yeah, what happened to the Dufresnes? No one seems to give a (#$@%!). Who can eat at a time like this - people are missing. You (frankers) are selfish....the Dufresnes are in someone's trunk right now, with duct tape over their mouths. And they're hungry. That's a double whammy. Bush, search party of three, you can eat when you find the Dufresnes.

* 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.

* I tried to throw away a yo-yo. It was (franking) impossible.

Franking?

I'm assuming he OD'd on something, but nevertheless, that's really too bad. Hilarious guy.

I'm treating this death as if it was from my own family. It's a sad, sad day today.

Death comes in threes, but I would put Terri Schiavo, The Pope, and Mitch Hedberg in a set of three - that just seems, um, wrong.

I would put Hunter S Thompson in the pack with Mitch Hedberg, which means that we still have one more person that's actually worth something to die this year...

I'm pretty confident that it was an overdose. A friend of a friend of mine was supposed to open for him on the night of his death, but Mitch no-showed. They went to his hotel room and found heroin and syringes strewn about. He may have died of a heart attack, but I've got 10:1 that it was drug induced.

Drug related heart failure seems about right

he's had heart problems since he was born, they're not sure if his death was drug related. But I think it goes without saying.

You know, the sad (?) part is that him dieing affects me much more then the death of the pope. At least the pope's was noteworthy - those others I really rather would not have known about at all. But I salute Mitch and wish I could get more of the stoner humor. I will miss him....
