OH NO!


That's horrible. He was very talented and funny, and the comedy was clean.

Never wear a turtleneck AND a backpack. It's like a midget is trying to tackle you all day long.

Never heard of him until today.

Me neither. And I still respect him more than any politician. We can assume he was more useful, too.

I really hope this is the ultimate April Fools' joke...

That's what I was thinking.

Just so I'm on the record for thinking that... if it is a joke, put me in the "I told ya" column.

LOLOL!! I can just hear Mitch's voice.

Yeah, me too.

I always crack up when I think about him telling the joke about the Dufranes.

When you go a resturant on the weekends and it's busy so they start a waiting list. They say Dufrane, party of two, table ready for Dufrane, party of two , and if no one answers the'll say the name again, Dufrane, party of two. Bu then if no one answers, they'll move on to the next name. Bush party of three. Yeah, but what happened to the Dufranes, No one seems to care, who can eat at a time like this? People are missing. You people are selfish. The Dufranes are in someone's trunk right now,with duct tape over their mouths and they're hungry. That's a double whammy! We need help! Bush search aparty of three. You can eat once you find the Dufranes.

He was in town last Friday. I wanted to see him, but both of his shows sold out.

WORKING FROM MEMORY:


"I was standing in the back of a crowded nightclub when the bouncer said I had to move because I was blocking a fire exit. I told him 'If there's a fire, I'll move.' Pretty much anyone who has legs and is flammable is gonna run from a fire."

My apartment is infested . . . . with koala bears. If I get up in middle of the night and turn on the light, they all go scurrying, and I say 'Hey little fellas, don't run. I want to cuddle.'

I think fettuccine Alfredo is macaroni and cheese for adults.




I wanna be a race car . . . passenger. I can ask the driver 'Hey dude, mind if I change the radio station?'

I'm not proud of my ignorance, but I haven't heard of him before this death notice. I feel cheated. I went to the Comedy Channel website and listened to some clips. The guy was brilliant. His type of humor was right up my alley.

So I'll say a sad goodbye. Mitch, I hardly knew ya.

Man that really sucks. I saw him live a couple years ago. I was practically rolling on the floor he was so funny.

Sad.

It sounded alot like the deadpan comedy of whats-his-name (Steve Anderson?), who used to appear on SNL.
