I know that a post has already been done about the dudes death but come on. I had to write this. Mitch Hedberg was one of the funniest guys I have ever heard. He was like the Jimmy Hendrix of comedy, always on drugs when doing a performance and excelling in it none the less.
The guy could walk into a room and make them all laugh with the simplest of phrases.
"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."
"I think foosball is a combination of soccer and shish kabobs."
"The depressing thing about tennis is that no matter how much I play, I'll never be as good as a wall. I played a wall once. They're freakin' relentless."
"I hate turkeys. If you stand in the lunch meat section long enough you will begin to hate turkeys...."
"Acid is my favorite drug. Acid expanded my mind. Because of acid I know that Acid is way better than margerine. I saw through the bull shit."
"I think pickels are cucumbers that sold out."
"A severed foot is the ultimate stocking stuffer."
Along with plenty more. No one can forget Smackey the Frog either. A guy that can get on a stage, sit on the stairs, simply talk, and make people laugh is awesome.
Mitch, the world isn't gonna be as cool a place without you.
You once said, "I love you guys, thanks for comin' to my special."
Well.......

I want my phone number to be 222-222-22222. That way, people could pick up the phone and just hit the number 2 until I say "stop"

how did he die?
-----
He was born with holes in his heart, a condition that can sometimes heal itself as you age. His didn't heal, giving him a weak heart that finally gave out.
Surprisingly, it wasn't drugs.

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no. But I want a regular banana later, so, yes."
"My favorite number is 4 billion but it really sucks when I'm gambling. 'Come on, 4 billion!' Fuck! Seven. Not even close. I'm gonna need more dice. At least six of them."
He will be missed.

Mitch Hedberg fucking rules!
I saw him and Steve Lynch live back in November. That was the best 40 bucks I've ever spent.

"I don't own a cell phone or a pager. I just hang around everyone I know, all the time. If someone wants to get a hold of me they just say "Mitch," and I say "What?" and turn my head slightly."

Seriously, he was my favorite ever. I may never laugh again... or laugh without it turning into crying.
Because that's what I did just now when I was reading through some of us quotes... I was "AH HA HA"ing and then it turned into "aww ahahbooo hoo".
Seriously.

"On a stoplight, green means go, yellow means slow down, and red means stop. On a banana, it's the exact opposite; yellow means slow down, green means go ahead, and red means 'where the fuck you get that banana at?'"
"I like refried beans, that's why I wanna try fried beans, cause maybe they're just as good and don't waste time."
"They say the recipe for Sprite is lemon and lime, but I've tried to make it at home, there's more to it than that."
'Hey, want some more homemade Sprite?'
'Not till you figure what else the fuck is in it!'
Mitch Hedburg, comedy genius, you will not be forgotten.

I'm one of those people that is relatively new to the Hedbergian experience. I was on the bus with my friend, and he showed me some of Mitch's material on his iPod. Funny, funny shit.
At first I thought this was shenanny-granny-blanny-gans, what with it being April Fools Day in my hemisphere and stuff. Then it started popping up on all the news websites and stuff. It fucking sucks. I'll be doing the rounds and buying his CDs and DVD for sure.
Thanks, Mitch.
"My friend was walking down the street and he said, 'I hear music.' As if there is any other way of taking it in. I tried to taste it, but it did not work."
"I wrote a letter to my dad - I wrote, "I really enjoy being here," but I accidentally wrote rarely instead of really. But I still wanted to use it so i crossed it out and wrote, "I rarely drive steamboats, dad - there's a lot of shit you don't know about me. Quit trying to act like I'm a steamboat operator." This letter took a harsh turn right away..."

I like cinnimon rolls, but I don't always have time to make a pan. That's why I wish they would sell cinnimon roll incense. After all I'd rather light a stick and have my roommate wake up with false hopes.

I was in too much shock to write something nice about him.
I just listened to his shit a bunch of times and felt sad and happy at the same time.
Like a clown who cries on the inside.

He had a heart condition, so it's either that or drugs

how did he die?
----------------------------
I would guess drugs. After all over 50% of his jokes were about drugs. That was part of what made him so hilarious. "When we would do drugs we would go to the woods because there we were way less likely to run into an authority figyuh...."
Plus I haven't seen a cause of death on any internet deals lately and that's normally when they die from drugs.

He was extremely funny. I remember I could barely breathe the first time I heard his routine.
