sorry not a joke man.

palm · Apr 2005

He was a great comedian.

nitzmoff · Apr 2005

seen him three times, what a damn shame. Bloody heroin, taking our laughs away...

Malekyth · Apr 2005

Ahhh, fuck!

Could still be a huge April Fool's joke, though this wouldn't seem to be Mitch's style.

Mishra · Apr 2005

ryan77 · Apr 2005

Yea i saw him with lynch too and with dave attel, good times. Damn i thought it was just a bad joke at first.

Did anyone catch Bush's press conference on Mitch's death, where he talks about the laughs he brought us with every breath of his tragically short life? I was gonna tape it but I couldn't find the damn thing.

KeyserSoze · Apr 2005

"Bush" as in George W. Bush, President of the United States of America? He held a press conference on Mitch Hedberg's death? That seems odd.

Daz · Apr 2005

I believe Mal was referring to the fact that earlier in the thread, someobody announced that Mitch Hedberg was in fact also the pope, but I could be wrong. Those are some awesome quotes Sal.

Malekyth · Apr 2005

More like, Terri Schiavo gets a press conference. The Pope gets a press conference. Mitch Hedberg, the only one of the three to have affected my life in a positive way, gets nuthin'!

Also a half-hearted troll to get vermillion to condemn me for bringing politics into a nonpolitical thread. But now it'll never happen! You suck, Daz!

Daz · Apr 2005

Doh sorry Mal. Randalls exclamation that Mitch was the pope threw me off. Of course, I should have realized that your message was far deeper than any punctuation Nazism.
I wasn't familiar with Hedberg, but his death has prompted me to discover that he was indeed a very funny man. So sad to only make it to 37.

KeyserSoze · Apr 2005

Oh I see, I guess I was confused by the overwhelming amount of irony in your post, Malekyth. And Daz, Randall wasn't saying that Hedberg was the Pope, he was just guilty of HORRIBLE grammar. I believe this is what he intended:

"The Pope, and now Mitch Hedberg; people are dropping like flies."

Daz · Apr 2005

I know

todman · Apr 2005

that sucks. Heroin? Bad stuff. R.I.P. I listened to him on XM radio a lot.
