Mitch Hedberg - Comedian

This guy was fucking funny. He was only like 25-26 so he had a lot of potential left in him and would be my pick.

Drolgin Steingrinder · January 13, 2006, 10:53 am

That was meant as a list of who I'd miss

You don't have to pick and choose!

Actually, I'm pretty sure he was in his mid-late 30s, from something I read near the time of his death. Disappointing at whatever age though, he was a funny man.

In regards to Mitch Hedberg.. I would like to quote what many of you have said... You reap what you sow.

I didn't know Schiavelli died either. Now I'm depressed.

Don't hurt my feelings Noel.. What many people don't seem to understand here are that your ideals, what you find to be acceptable, the way you think life is supposed to be mean nothing to me. The only mistake I have made is thinking for some reason there was any reason to start any conversation with anyone on this site. I have come to realize that about the only thing I have in common with 99% of the people that post here is that I played Everquest at one point.

I'm not trying to hurt your feelings, or force [my] values on you. There was however a point to what I said, and hopefully you'll get it someday.

I understand what you are saying Noel.. The problem is I don't think you are understanding me. I haven't posted anything that can really bring about any crap lately, and there is a good reason.

When I say something I don't want an opinion unless I ask for it, I do not care what anyone thinks of me, I do not care if I offend anyone, I dont care if you think what I do or say is childish, stupid or immoral... are you getting my point ? A combination of what I just said in this post and my last post has led to why I just bite my tongue so to say on these forums a lot(whether it seems like it or not)- which i dont like doing at all..

Mitch Hedberg, definitely. He was in his late 30's from what I remember... I remember reading he had some sort of serious heart problems but I also recall drug abuse being the cause of death. Either way, I'm sad to see him go.

Why bother posting here then? There have to be a lot of boards out there that cater to the semi-literate, self-styled "gangstas" of the border states, haven't there?

I'm not saying you need to quit posting here, I just think your posturing is a bit silly. If you have nothing in common with 99% of the people here, don't have any reason to start a conversation with anyone here, and you don't care for opinions on anything you say, it seems sort of pointless to visit the site. It's not like it's improving your street cred to hang out with a bunch of wankstas like us.

Winnow · Post by **Winnow** » January 13, 2006, 6:59 pm

Sylvus and I shared the same booth seat at Quark's bar in Vegas. We have that in common. ...and that's just the start of what we have in common. (I think our thighs touched at one point)

It's commonalities like this that make VeeshanVault what it is. If you're not inside, you're outside!

Because there are some people that provide very useful information on a multitude of subjects here.

My problem is that I have a short temper, and even when I know im being baited I get pissed anyhow, because people like you just annoy me to no end naturally. You seem to get some kind of a sick enjoyment out of following people around the boards once they say something stupid/something you don't agree with, and making a post to tell them how stupid they are, or flame them. This is pathetic (which is not a matter of opinion).

Flaming is one thing, but some people that cant reply to a thread without being an asshole are the problem in my mind. You can preach all day about how thats what this site is and was made for (ive been reading the forums just as long as anyone else that posts here) , but (ill be the first to admit I can be an asshole and hard to deal with) when I read something and think its unnecessary - thats a problem.. And it has happened here more than once.

The point is - at any point you can stop following me around and berating me everytime I post, it's losing it's effectiveness in a hurry.

Er, read the thread again. Who is following who?

Kylere · Post by **Kylere** » January 13, 2006, 10:50 pm

Hedberg died too young and it was decidedly sad, especially since that reap sow bullshit is true for him as much as for anyone. Hell look at all the old cokehead comics like Williams and even Pryor made it a a long while ( I miss Richard already because he was teh funny) they show the reap and sow thing is BS, since it appears to be more random than anything else.

I miss my friend Jeff, my Uncle Roger, my Aunt Pam, my Aunt Jean, and my belief in the human spirit. I have attended way too many bloody funerals the last few years.

Until you posted about me, I said nothing even remotely directed anywhere in your direction, so you tell me?

And Noel, no. It's frustrating because it seems that some people here just don't know when enough is enough. And this is enhanced by the fact that I get pissed easy.

Either you misread the post/s or you are just being obnoxious dregor. Sylvus was trying to imply somehow that I was following him around, even though I said nothing about him until he started talking to me. I simply responded that I don't feel bad cause some comedian (who wasnt even funny in the least) couldnt get the fucking monkey off his back.

Me calling you out as being a retard in 2 threads doesn't mean there's a special place in my heart or that I'm following you around. It just means you're behaving like any of the douchebags I've ever called out.

Obviously it's too complicated for you fucking idiots, so I'll explain it. I was making a reference to Mitch Hedberg.. It had absolutely nothing to do with who brought his name up, I know thats hard to understand.

And it's been far more than two threads sylvus, you have said something about me in damn near every thread ive posted in since the first one that got you started.. I can't even remember what it was.
