I was going to wish my 7th Day Adventist worker happy Darwin's Birthday but he would have likely been angry for a week at least.
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes. Salman Rushdie This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen

For several years I would occasionally wonder, "What the heck happened to Mitch Hedberg?" then I found out a few months he was dead. So what the heck happened?

For several years I would occasionally wonder, "What the heck happened to Mitch Hedberg?" then I found out a few months he was dead. So what the heck happened? I heard he overdosed on cocaine and heroin maybe exacerbated by a heart condition. ABE:

So what the heck happened? Like CS's link shows, he was allegedly "speedballing" and OD'd. I've seen his widow around at clubs (she still performs) and she said he was just depressed at the time, club owners were getting upset with him for being intoxicated on stage and he was having trouble getting rebooked. Plus the arrest and other charges affected him too. He was mentally not well. I heard from several club owners that on more than a few occasions he would be so drunk he would just lay down on stage and mubble his set. Which, if you've seen Mitch before, he kinda mubbles anyway. Colleges was the only thing keeping him in the mainstream, plus his appreance on That 70's Show and in the movie Lords of Dog Town also gaving appeal to a college crowd. He was a cool cool guy, and you'll hear that from anyone who has meet or worked with him. It really hit the comedy world hard when he passed away. When someone that nice and that humble of a person is lost it really sucks for a while. - Oni

Youngun? I though he was old! Compared to you, maybe. But some of us ... let's just say we've "seen a lot."

My grandson thinks I'm very old, but it ain't so, though I posted this back in 2003 when Caligula mentioned his girlfriend's upcoming 17th birthday:

Do you have a myspace or facebook?
If so, can we be friends? I can email you a link to either of mine. I promise not to share yours anywhere.

No, sorry, no Facebook. I'm on LinkedIn, but I'm not active there at all.
