quote of the day

“Me and my friends did acid in the woods, ‘cause there was much less chance of running into an authority figure. But we ran into a bear. And that is way more of a buzz kill. One of my friends was raising his right hand and swearing to prevent forest fires. Later, he came up to me and said, “Mitchell. Smokey is way more intense in person.”

-Mitch Hedberg

Today is Smokey's 66th birthday, FYI.

The late,great Mitch Hedberg.One of the best almost unknown comedians ever.

Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

RIP Mitch. Saw him at the Fillmore right before he died. I was more sore from laughing than a long run. Not sure I got a chance to introduce myself Saturday, but good luck at LT and the Rocky Mtn Slam.

Loved his stuff... One of my fave's,

"I think Bigfoot is naturally blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographers fault. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside." ~ Mitch Hedberg

Ended up watching a bunch of his stuff on youtube last night, drinking beer along the way. Then watched some other comedian stuff. Ended up with tix to see Lisa Lampanelli in Denver.
