I like rice. Rice is great when you’re hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

I had this parrot. The parrot talked, but it did not say "I’m hungry." So it died.

This dude was sorely needed during the last 8 years.

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

I liked him seeing the "sorry, we’re closed" sign at the dry cleaners at 3 am, and then saying "don’t be sorry, it would ridiculous for me to expect you to be open" bit.

I got a king sized bed. I don’t know any kings, but if one came over, I guess he’d be comfortable. "Oh, you’re a king, you say? Well you won’t believe what I have in store for you! It’s to your exact specifications!"

One of the greatest moments in my life was when Mitch Hedberg said I was funny. Got to hang with him for a weekend while he did shows at the comedy club I hang out and occasionally perform in.
A genuinely nice if not painfully shy man.

The youtubes have a ton of his clips.
For example
ShiddyButt
" I wish they made fajita cologne, cause that shit smells good!"
I do miss that man.

I got an ant farm … them fellas didn’t grow shit.

"You know when they have a fishing show on TV, they catch the fish, but they let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, but they do want to make it late for something."
A comedic genius, much missed.

I love when Howard Stern had him on a year or so before his death, holding up an old Time Magazine that called him the "next Seinfeld". Mitch was like "oh, yeah, THAT really happened".

Well, Seton Hall beat Georgetown today, so a WV win over Pitt is clearly not out of the question.
Anyone still want to advance the claim that the Big Least is better than the ACC?

Hedberg was from Minnesota, and he married a Canadian, but he doesn’t sound like a typical white Minnesotan or Canadian. What would you call his accent — a white guy kinda sorta sounding black?

@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: Man, still no political debate thread up today? How refreshing for a change of pace Sunday.
A day without wall-to-wall politics is like a day without a herpes flair.
Right?
Worst segue in the world…when is your birthday, Mary?
Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Now I’m imagining a singles bar where employees have to wear at least 15 pieces of herpes flair.
Same day as Mozart, sweetie. Let’s see you Google. :P

@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse: IT’S TUESDAY?
Please tell me I google better than I spell "herpes flare up"?
I’ve been off a creatin’ usin’ the other 1/4 of my brain so I was not in the spellin’ 1/4 of my brain.
That’s my story, Mary.

Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse
Heh. Yes, it’s Tuesday.
And other people’s typos (as well as my own) are just a jumping off point for weirdness, because except for the one time I tried hot knives, I have NEVER gotten high off any cannabis product, no matter how much I smoked. It was if the high was literally just a couple of inches above my head and I couldn’t reach it. Kind of like being on the edge of a sneeze — or … something — and it not quite happening.

What abou the Dufresnes?
I had the honor of seeing him twice here in Austin, Texas.
That was, of course, before he died.

@Comrade Mary, Would-Be Minion Of Bad Horse:
Gosh, that makes me think of Annie Hall.
Has anyone noticed that spell checks will let you betcha pass but still not Obama?

@Laura W: Your gift for making everything sound fun and interesting was responsible for that.

@Laura W: Didn’t we discuss my abhorrence for Rod Stewart or am I imagining a conversation I had with some other beautiful, witty and engaging persona?
And if we did discuss it and I am not imagining it, that was a bitter kiss indeed.
Laura W
@Just Some Fuckhead: As I said to OriGuy in the logo thread last night, "I have no recollection of discussing this issue with you" and then you say "Sorry, it was on another board full of beautiful, witty and engaging personii." And then I accept your apology and we move on.
Serious note: What do you think of the reckless homicide charges v. the football coach in the heat-related (I guess?) death of the 15-yr-old? I’d like to see a thread on this as I am sure most every poster here has an opinion on this, and I don’t know enuf at all about the issue to have an opinion (JL: That’s from Annie Hall too!)
What say you?

@Laura W: Apology accepted.
No opinion on the other, except killing kids is bad and coaches usually suck.

My apartment is infested with koala bears. It’s the cutest infestation ever. I turn on the light and a bunch of koala bears scatter… but I don’t want ’em to, I’m like ‘hey, hold on fellas.. let me hold one of you’.
