Yes, it was all about the euphemisms people use for dying (passing away, expiring, sustaining a negative therapeutic outcome, etc.). Not sure what the problem was with it--maybe it was such a long quote that it made for a copyright violation (something I've definitely been guilty of on occasion), or maybe somebody found the content itself offensive. There was also a string of asterisks I typed in place of a swear word, and maybe that was the problem. :-(

His work is so intelligent and just danged funny. I'm still kicking myself for not getting a ticket for his gig in St. Louis. I also like Jeff Dunham, the stand-up ventriloquist. He always makes me crack up.

Now I can't decide whether I'm glad I respectfully bit my tongue and gave him his space or whether I wish I'd have been forward and thanked him for being so funny, for fighting the dumbing-down of American culture, and for playing the neighbor in "Prince of Tides" with such dignity. All death is sad. His is also a tangible loss for us. He was still creating. Who knows what he would have come up with in the next ten or twenty years.
