I was going to keep this to email, but John and Rick have made the Diamonback - if only for being two lame dudes who "bailed." So, their anonymous celebrity - a commodity not unlike jumbo shrimp, freezer burn, and Swiss cheese - hinges fully on "bailing" on Mitch Hedberg's next-to-last-ever performance. Rick blames Judy. John blames Roy.

Oh well. I'm glad I at least got to see Mitch Hedberg in Baltimore last summer. I'm also glad his CDs are on the interweb.
As for Diamondback fame, I'd rather be a guy that bailed than be prominently pictured in an article right next to another one with the headline about gay marriage [Fatboy], although it pales in comparison to being quoted "5 beers in a row isn't binge drinking, it should be like 8 or 9" [Chad]
Posted by: Rick at April 8, 2005 11:52 AMChad Fisher, a junior electrical engineering major, thought that eight to 10 beers was a more realistic estimate of binge drinking.
"I'd say most people have more than five [drinks]," he said.

Posted by: Chad at April 8, 2005 02:51 PMI was looking for that clip too. That is all I could think of. Wasn't it his Iowa State team that lost to Hampton in 2001? That'd drive many to a raging frat party in Kansas.
