I'm Missing Mitch Hedberg Today


Recommended Posts

My wife gets annoyed with me because I can't eat anything with rice without saying, in that familiar halting voice, "Rice is great if you're really hungry and you want two thousand of something."

 

I have one of Hedberg's concert DVDs, and I take it down from the shelf occasionally.  Miss him, too.

See I'm a dreamer, man, and when I was a cook I'd always work with people who weren't dreamers. Like, I was cooking at this restaurant and I put a hot dog on the grill and my kitchen manager came over, and he said, "Mitch, put the hot dog up here, in the right hand corner of the grill, so in case you get a whole bunch of orders at once you have all this space available." See that's how I knew he wasn't a dreamer, 'cause the day I give up my dreams is the day I have strategic grill locations. A dreamer has a philosophy: The entire grill is hot.

That early clip is great! Thanks! :)

 

I love to bring a Mitch cd along on long road trips, because when the going gets dull, he's great for picking up flagging spirits.

 

The quote above brought that to mind, since "Strategic Grill Locations" is my personal favorite.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

 

I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'll be mad at me for saying that.

The receipt for buying a donut bit is excellent.

 

I was just coming in here to say that!  Every time I buy a doughnut, I think that.  (I bought doughnuts this weekend, and giggled as I did so.)

 

My sisters and I all use the same transit stop to get to work, and the escalators are rarely in service.  We will often mention to each other that the escalators are still temporarily stairs.
