Billy Mays...Found Dead

[XU05and07]

After the snuggie craze and the discussion of TV pitchmen, I thought that this story would be pertinent to the group...

Apparently, Billy Mays (50) was found dead in his home this morning...Article (http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readarticle.asp?articleid=31472&z=3)

There hasn't been anything released from Discovery Channel who produces the show "Pitchmen" which Billy was one of the stars

Crazy shit. I just heard about this. His family's lawyer said they werent planning on making a statement anytime soon.

[Stonebreaker]

Damn. So much for it happening in threes.

and I hate Jon or Kate as going next in my own mental 'Dead Pool'.

[XURunner85]

I heard it was foul play and number one suspect is the Sham-wow guy....

[D-West & PO-Z]

They actually think it has to do with an accident with the plane he was on. He hit his head.

Wow. that's awful. Sounds like errors were made by the airline/medics.

[golfitup]

I'm way more bummed about his death than Michael Jackson's.

[Kahns Krazy]

There was a CSI episode like that.

[bobbiemcgee]

I'll miss Farrah.....

First Miranda Richardson and now Billy Mays...

If you bang your head, have someone look at it.

[XUglow]

Fred Travelena also bites the dust...

They say he is a Las Vegas headliner, but I don't think his career was ever the same after The Match Game went off the air.

I think that's sound advice. However, I repped you not for the advice, but for the avatar. I hate to see her leave, but I love to watch her go.

[muckem muckem]

I was at a noisey Putters when the news came over the TV. "Not Willie Mays". It was a half hour before our table of 16 got it right.

And Gail Storm. (My Little Margie) for us more seasoned posters.

Think that was her real name?

As I have said before, she hates that picture because of the partial wedgie. I don't think it detracts from the image one bit.

[Kahns Krazy]

I agree with her that a full wedge would have made the picture better. Or a thong.

First Miranda Richardson and now Billy Mays...

Actress Miranda Richardson is alive and well. Actress Natasha Richardson died earlier this year.

Oops. ...and the coroner says Mays had a heart problem.

[ballyhoohoo]

Folks, these celebrities usually die in threes, but for one day only Billy Mays will throw in a 4th and 5th Celebrity ABSOLUTLEY FREE

Wow. WOW! So funny, so wrong, but sooo funny!

Yep. So, so wrong...but so very funny. Is that original material? It would make it that much better if it is.

Not to get off topic of Billy Mays but I heard the greatest Michael Jackson joke the other day.

My buddy told me that there were reports that Michael Jackson had died of food poising. When I said really? He said yes, "he ate too many 8 year old wieners."

Classic.

[bobbiemcgee]

yep, coke thru the nose....and I mean Coca-Cola the opposite way.


You would think after under going all those tests for a hip replacement, someone would mention, or "BTW you have a dangerously enlarged heart and heart diease."

[ballyhoohoo]

Yep. So, so wrong...but so very funny. Is that original material? It would make it that much better if it is.

50/50 A coworker and I crafted it at lunch. I can lay full claim to putting in pitchman format. But I do half the credit to the coworker I had lunch with.

Did you hear what Farrah Fawcet's last wish was?

That all the children of the world would be safe, a few hours later MJ passed.

I did get that one from a buddy.

Billy was pitching garden implements on Squawk Box this morning. That seemed so wrong.

Latest news from this morning.

- All of the plastic that has been put into Michael Jackson will be melted down and put into Legos so little boys can play with him for a change.

[AdamtheFlyer]

Obviously Jackson's upcoming dates have been canceled. They were James aged 9 and Tom 11.

Los Angeles police have now been round to Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch following his death. It is being reported that they found Class A drugs in his kitchen, Class B drugs in his bathroom and a fourth-grade class in his bedroom.

They have cordoned off an area @ the funeral for Big Wheel parking....

[Smooth]

The paramedics asked what hospital he wanted to go to. He said "Take me to Children's."

[Titanxman04]

That's just bad news bears, right there.

[bobbiemcgee]

Maybe he just got it confused with Oxy clean.

[pickledpigsfeet]

I bet he did some mean parody infommercials about cocaine while on the stuff.
