    So, he's dead. I haven't seen any threads about him here as of yet.

    It still hasn't sunk in that he died. I'm hoping it was all some big April Fools joke, and he'll wake up tomorrow. He was a great comedian, and I'm certainly gonna miss him. :(

    I couldn't believe it. I thought for sure it was an April Fools joke, but then April 2nd came and went and he was still dead. I'm just thankful I got to see him before he died. I love the picture of him they put up on his website though.

    Peace :)

    yeah, i heard about this, too.
    he was an awesome comedian and is definitely missed.

    i was really surprised when i found out he died, even though i guess i shouldn't have been..

    when i saw him in january, he layed down on the floor, kinda rolling from side to side, making grumbly noises. it took him a while to stand, even using the stools to help him. a lot of people got up and left. he crawled around under the curtain for a while, too.

    and my brother saw him in new york a couple weeks ago and said that he fell down on stage.

    r.i.p. mitch.

    One of the most unique comics I've ever heard.....truly one of the greats of our time.....but not really a surprise, it was obvious what his lifestyle was, and we all know that catches up to you sooner or later, one way or another.....

    God I know..I was so bummed to hear that he died.
    I think the one joke he had that I laugh at just thinking about it is when he said:

    I wish they had a cinnamon roll incense. That way, whenever I feel like smelling 'em, I don't even have to make a pan..just light up a stick. I'd like to make my roommates wake up with false hopes.

    Also I like when he's talking about them in the woods tripping on acid and they run into the bear, and his friend says "Mitchell, Smoky is much more intense in person."

    It's a shame Mitch never did a movie or something. If so, I would definitely get it.

    "Mitch, Smokey is much more intense in person. He's an asshole. In England, Smokey the bear is not the forest-fire-prevention-representative. There they have Smackey the Frog. That's much better. I've never been in the woods and seen a frog and said 'Look out that frog is hoping right toward us', It's more like 'cool, here comes that frog. Maybe he'll come over here....and I can hold him....and pet him....alriiiight......"

    "I went into a doughnut shop and bought a doughnut.The lady gave me a reciept. I can't imagine a a scenario in which I would have to prove I bought a doughnut."

    good stuff.

    "I would catch the frog and put him in a mayonais jar with holes in the lid,with a stick and leaf...to simulate his natural environment."

    *cries*

    heh heh

    "A banana is the opposite of a stop-light. Green means, whoa, hold on a minute, yellow means go ahead, and red means where the fuck did you get that banana at.......I was at my friends and he asked me if I wanted a frozen banana and I said no, but I want a regular banana later, so yeah......."

    Banana is a hard word to type.......
