It isn't. But when I sit down to write, I'm often disappointed by how little of the style I(very occasionally) get praise for is really me doing my thing. Which is only tangentially related to the comic conversation, I realize. But someday if anything comes of it, I hope I'd give the props where they are due.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I guess now that Mitch Hedberg is dead...that guy had a killer style, and his jokes are still funny written down.
True, but god, I loved his delivery. His escalator bit will start running through my head every once in a while.

It's still only 12F out there. CURSES.
Oh well. I guess I can't let Dana go outside while we wait for our other friend to arrive, because she may just decide to take another flight back to Texas.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
His escalator bit will start running through my head every once in a while.Exactly! Whenever I see a broken escalator, all I think is "temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience"

I can't believe I don't know this. I thought I knew a lot about stand-up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's funny--I know my little corner of standup and improv pretty well. And when I was still living in Montreal, ver well. But if standups didn't come through there, either to the two comedy clubs or the annual festival, they almost didn't exist.
No Princess Bride musical. How can I miss it when I only just found out it was supposed to happen? But I do.

Oh crap. I was going to call the mechanic today, wasn't I?
Oh well, it's not like he could do anything until Tuesday morning anyway. I'll just call then. And not drive very far.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I want someone to be influenced by MY style!
I would TOTALLY steal your hair.
Does that help?

I can't believe I don't know who Hedberg is. Was, I suppose, if he's dead.
