The reason I don't participate in the book club is that I want to read everything I read in its original language and due to the limited collection of the nearest library from me, I would have to buy the books. I'll get Steppenwolf in Finnish now.
Really? Greg Giraldo died? Got damn! He is one of the few Stand-Up comedians I've ever seen. This fucking sucks.
Yeah. Accidental OD on prescription meds is what they're saying for now. Bummer all the way around. I really enjoyed his stuff on the Comedy Central roasts.
This is truly a sad day for Naughty Tentacles the world over.
Also, Nishizaki was apparently kind of crazy:

Nishizaki, voluntarily submitted two automatic rifles, 1,800 bullets, and 30 howitzer shells kept in a station wagon in his garage, police said. Police said that Nishizaki had hidden an Austrian handgun loaded with three bullets under a zaisu chair in a study. Nishizaki told police that he had bought the handgun in Hong Kong 10 years earlier.On February 20, 2003, he was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison for the possessing firearms charge. He was released from prison on December 9, 2007.

In the last 6 minutes of this episode, Daryl rants a bit. I believe to remember another big rant on The Nish, but I don't remember when it happened. They have elaborated on The Nish being a fucking nutcase a couple of times though.
