Remote Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 (edited) I saw this on howard stern.com Mitch Hedberg - Farewell to a FriendThe Howard Stern Show is saddened to learn that legendary comedian Mitch Hedberg has passed away. Mitch was just on the show two weeks ago.. I guess it could be an april fools joke, but that would be really messed up. Plus I have tickets to see his show tomorrow night at the Baltimore Imporv Edited March 31, 2005 by Remote Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/303182-mitch-hedberg-dead/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like my sanwhiches witth three peices of bread. So do I. Lets form a club. Okay, but we're gonna need more stickulation. Yes we do. Instead of cutting it once, lets cut it again. Yeah, four triangles. And we shall dump chips in the middle. Let me ask you something, how do you feel about frilly toothpicks? I'm for them."

rickbman Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 hope this isn't true. Mitch is hilarious "I think Bigfoot is blurry, its not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is just blurry, which is extra scary to me, 'cause now there is a large out-of-focus monster roaming the country side. Ahh, run away, he's fuzzy."

QuarterSwede Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 "i went to buy a candle holder but they didnt have one, so i bought a cake" 585703303[/snapback] Hahaha, That's Mitch for you. I bet some people don't even get it, that's what's great about some of his jokes, you actually have to think about them. My favorite: "I bought Ritz crackers because I wanted some crackers, but on the side of the box it has these ideas of how to eat the crackers. They suggest you put turkey and cheese or caviar on top. Funny how you never see a suggestion just to stack the crackers ... a cracker topped by a cracker. I bought Ritz crackers because I was looking for crackers, not tiny edible plates."

jackwanders Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 "I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut, man. I'll just give you the money and you give me the doughnut. End of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I had bought a doughnut. Some skeptical friend. 'Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut. I got the documentation right here. Oh. Wait. It's at home. In the file. Under D'." My guess is that it's prep for an April Fool's thing. It would seriously suck if Mitch isn't with us anymore. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/303182-mitch-hedberg-dead/#findComment-585703790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuarterSwede Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Amazon.com: Mitch Hedberg Click on one of the CD's to take a listen.

jbctech Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I just noticed that there's also a button that says "Mitch Hedberg 1968-2005" on the comedycentral.com site too.
