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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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.

I can't believe I don't know this. I thought I knew a lot about stand-up.
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.
I want someone to be influenced by MY style!
I would TOTALLY steal your hair.
Does that help?
The only comedians mentioned I have heard of are Leary and Bill Cosby.
I can't believe I don't know who Hedberg is. Was, I suppose, if he's dead.
Well, I did cite the Jim Fix joke up thread, which was apparently a straight-up theft
Yeah, but there's also the possibility of parallel evolution, so to speak. I mean...at least a couple of times in my past I've made cracks just hangin' with my friends at Denny's only to have some comedian spout it almost word for word a few months later on Comedy Central...and I *know* they didn't steal it from me.
