Just because you like individuals of a different race doesn’t mean you’re not racist.

Dave’s sketch and this Kevin Smith story have to be the two funniest things people have ever said about Prince that I have ever heard.

I’ve never heard anyone who met him call Prince an asshole.

You're in pain too. I get it.

The same for me, though it was livejournal instead of Facebook. The outpouring of love and support when I was at my lowest was amazing, and it meant so much to me.

A few years ago we took my husbands nephew up The Oregon Zoo for the day. I was wandering around taking photos when I bumped into Corin Tucker, from Sleater-Kinney. Starstruck I desperately tried to not piss myself in front of her. I ran to the bathroom and was peeing when out of nowhere Patton Oswalt walked in and…

I lost my mom when I was 5. All I know of her has been filtered through other people’s memories (or agendas). I came across a photo of her looking frowsy, cigarette in hand, as I was at that exact moment. It was so nice to get a glimpse of her that wasn't perfect, because people rarely speak ill of the dead.

I agree that people shouldn’t JUST put stuff like this on Twitter. However, it also depends on what level of personal relationship they actually have with, in this case, Patton. If a person has a close relationship I think would be in poor taste to ONLY post condolences to Twitter. Secondly, if the person only knows…

When people here speak about a loved one dying, I will reply back with a sympathy message. Not one time has someone gone “eww, why did you do that- you don’t know me!” People are grateful you took a second to think about them.

I agree. I’m a total nobody but Patton has engaged with me on Twitter and has retweeted some of my jokes to him. Why wouldn’t I want to remind someone that gives my life joy that he is greatly loved and appreciated in this time of extreme heartbreak, for him and his young daughter. Losing someone fucking sucks and it…

No, there’s always more good people. If there weren’t hearts wouldn’t be pouring out for Patton right now.

He mentions her frequently in his stand-up, and it’s usually to point out how much in sync they were. She was there for the orgy-house, the backyard rat, their daughter’s hair-freakout. He announced he was in love with her AND her pregnancy in his specials. He pointed out how he envies her drive and discipline.

There’s nothing easy about dealing with condolence phone calls when you’re absolutely shattered over the death of a loved one, and it can all get to be just too much. People meaning well can just unnecessarily add to the burden of someone who’s grieving a sudden and tragic death.

Not to get all up in your junk, but if you haven’t done so yet, can I suggest that you write letters or emails or make videos for them?

This is how I felt, too—Oswalt’s stand up comedy is so full of love and joy and centers so much around his family that reading the news was actually painful for me though I never met either of them. He always comes off so genuine and normal that I think this made me ponder my own mortality a little, and my husband’s…

This hits so close to home for me right now. I'm 39 years old and I have a rare vascular condition that could and likely will result in my sudden death at anytime. I have a wife, a 17 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. I hate thinking about the pain that my death is going to cause them.

Oswalt is one of my favourite comedians, he seems like such a genuinely nice and funny person in real life, and I think that’s clearly proved in the sincere outpouring of love on Twitter right now. Hearing the way he talks about his wife and daughter in his stand-up made this gut wrenching for me to read. That poor,…

I feel terrible for Patton. He seems like a decent guy. I feel especially bad because of all the comments I’ve seen about how it must have been a drug overdose. People just assume you don’t die young unless you’re on drugs, but that’s just not the case. A few years ago, a friend of mine just dropped dead at the age of…

I feel so bad for him. If you watch his stand-up you get the impression that not only did he love her, she was his partner in crime. Those losses hurt the most. To not only lose the love of your life but your best friend.

I still don’t know what to say about this. I am so, SO fucking sad for him and his daughter. I can send all the good vibes in the world but it isn’t going to help them.
