RIP Mitch Hedberg

This has nothing to do with baseball and it's been so long since I posted that I suspect few people are still paying any attention to this blog.

I'm not generally a big fan of standup comedy. Not a big enough fan to go out of my way to actually see them in person anyway. Except for Mitch Hedberg. Mitch's comedy was original, hilarious and rare in its ability to find humor without significant reliance on profanity or sex or politics. He made me laugh so hard it hurt. So it hurts that much more that he's gone so prematurely. I don't know how he died, and it doesn't really matter. I'll miss him.

At least I got to see him once.

P.S. more baseball coming soon.

I still check in from time to time, but I was just about to give up. Nice to know you're still functioning.

If you like that type of comic, then try Jim Gaffigan. I haven't put up any quotes from him on the blog yet, but I will.

Here's a tiny excerpt:

"Life is easier for attractive people, can we just admit that? Think about it: if a stranger smiles at you, and they're attractive, you think, 'Oh, they're nice'. But if the stranger is ugly? It's like, 'Ew! What do they WANT!?'"
