You really gotta work your way up to 10.

Well now I’ve got a plan for when I get a chance to time travel!

I will forever remember using the magnet that came with this old Klutz book near the TV in my parents’ room when I was around 10 and noticing the rainbow pattern it made in the picture. And then, after further investigation and experimentation, noticing those colors stopped going away when I moved the magnet away. And then, never speaking a word of it. For, like, 40 years.

When Bill Burr’s Netflix cartoon show put a similar bit in an episode it finally dawned on me that lots of kids must have messed up their parents’ TVs with those magnet wands.

Oxycontin crisis, satanic panic, Columbine and the proliferation of the modern school shooting crisis, all the tobacco execs lying to congress about nicotine being addictive and facing no consequences, and the open and acknowledged deployment of weapons of war in space thus opening us up to a brand new version of the Cuban missile crisis… In Space (space space space)

Part of me thinks he’d appreciate more than most how truly funny it can be to explain a joke after the delivery of the punchline

Edit ok all of me thinks that

He gave us the gift of laughter in a really kind, genuine way. And the joke, as others have explained, is a riff on one of his better known one-liners.

I mean, I still love him. But I used to, too.

Edit: I’m pretty sure the joke was: I used to do a lot of drugs. I mean, I still do. But I used to, too.

Man, I used to really like Mitch Hedberg jokes…

Thankfully I think the gays are off the hook for this crime

I plan on continuing to live forever from the day I was born, and so far, I’m on track!

CyanogenMod, how I loved thee
