Billy Mays found dead

#67
Bummer to hear about this. What a week. I guess all we can take away from this is if you get a head injury and you're not feeling well get to a hospital and have it checked out. It could save you life. I mean we don't know if that was, in fact the case, but it sounds like it may be.

ALL CAPS IN HONOR OF BILLY MAYS, WHO IF THERE IS ANYTHING RIGHT IN THIS WORLD, DIED THE WAY HE LIVED.... SHOUTING AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, that sucks for his family. I hated his commercials and would hit mute as soon as they came on, but he is said to have been a pretty nice guy.

I met Billy Mays once. He was a really nice dude, no joke. It was a bit scary once he got the crowd into a cult like fervor shouting "Oxiclean, oxiclean, oxiclean, keep it clean!" but overall a good experience. This makes my autographed thing of Oxiclean worth millions.

In all seriousness though, he was a nice guy and he leaves behind a family and a young daughter. Thank you Billy Mays, you will be missed.

Same here. Usually I would yell, "QUIT YELLING AT ME BILLY" back at him -- and THEN hit the mute... but he did seem like a decent guy and he made some "average American" inventors a hell of a lot of money.

And he was a heck of a lot less abrasive than that Shamwow punk.

Just when I thought these things happened in "3's", I guess there's 2 more yet to happen, if that's the case :(

Actually, we're on our 2nd set of 3's. Ed McMahon, Farrah and Michael Jackson were the first trio, last week. Billy Mays and some old movie actress named Gina Storm (?) went yesterday.

If we wind up with 3 sets of 3's, then you'll know some serious sh*t is goin down.
