I would like to take this time to make a tribute to the recently deceased Mitch Hedberg, who died Thursday, March 31 at the age of 37 from heart complications.
For those of you who don't know who Mitch Hedberg is, he was possibly the greatest stand-up comedian of all time. He was the king of one-liners, and pleased the audience with his monotone attitude and his long, hippy hair. Here are a few of my personal favorite of his acts. Please note that it sounds a lot funnier when you hear it come from Mitch's mouth.
"I was at a bar the other day, and I was just about to leave when this guy that was about seven foot twelve just ran into me. Then, he didn't even say 'Excuse me', he just said, 'Move'. So, I said, 'You move', and then I started running. After he caught up with me, I turned around and looked at him. He had all of these piercings on his face, noserings, liprings, earrings, and a tattoo under his eye. He said, 'You got a lot of nerve.' And I said, 'Yes, and you have a lot of cranium accessories.' You see, this is a smart crowd. Normally, I would have to say, 'You got a lot of **** on your head'."
"Did you know that at Pizza Hut they accept coupons from other pizza places? It is times like these that I really wish I had my own pizza place. Mitch's Pizza. This week's coupon: ...Unlimited Free Pizza. Note: Not valid at any Mitch's Pizza location. Buy one medium one-topping pizza, get a free...pizza oven. 20 free large pizzas with purchase...of a small Pepsi."
"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."
R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg.
