[Carlo Tanori]

Not sure if any of you remember this guy:



Impressionist Fred Travalena. Passed away from cancer today in Las Vegas.

Oh that's right. So that's 2 sets of three. Wow.

I always got him mixed up with the golfer (Travino?)

I couldn't believe it when I heard the news yesterday. I still can't believe it. It's always just so weird when someone dies. Your so used to them being there and then poof, they're just gone.

You will always be my favorite late night infomercial pitchman. We will keep you alive in our memories.

Billy Mays, we salute you. R.I.P.

The golfer's name is Lee Trevino.

Fred Travelena was a great impressionist. Just as good as Rich Little.

I liked Billy Mays, seemed like a good natured guy who loved what he was doing.

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.

Do you mean Gale Storm?

 

[Chunk-O-Funk]

You know, it's sad he's dead, but I hope Jesus slaps him If he starts with the "Billy Mays here" crap.

Say, Jesus. That robe looks pretty dingy,.......SLAP!

 

[cassanova]

Ya...the one who sues when people make fun of him.

I never heard about that. But if thats the case, he's a big douche bag cause the few times that I've heard his show he's always busy bustin on people.

 

[HeyMikey]

I am not pleased that he is gone but every time I saw him on tv I immediately hit the mute button. I found his voice was very irritating.

 

[jaywa]

Do you mean Gale Storm?

Yeah that's the one. Not a porn star, but a good name for one.

You know, now that I think about it:

Waymon Tisdale
David Carradine
Ed Mcmahon
Farrah Faucet
Michael Jackson
Billy Mays

That's 6 there, not necessarily discounting any others not mentioned either (Just don't come to mind)

I thought the same thing.

I wish I could find a webcomic I stumbled on yesterday. It showed Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon on the old Tonight Show set, with johnny wearing his Karnack turban. They were talking about having Farrah and Michael Jackson as guests and how Fred Travalena was coming out next, or something like that.

Billy Mays was in there somewhere. But I can't remember wuite how. That's why I was trying to find the actual webcomic.

Found it!

Wayman passed 6 weeks ago. That seems too long to count in any sort of "threes" scenario.

 

[BillyRay]

You gotta give it to Billie Mays, he saw that Fawcett and Michael had just died and he decided to add another dead celebrity to the offer.

I meant for 2009. But i'm sure even those numbers are higher.

 

[Bard2dbone]

Okay. I found the webcomic I was talking about earlier. It's at www.lostandfoundcomic.com like I edited into the earlier post . But when I save the comic as a pic the only title it saves on my computer just defaults to the date 20090629. I thought that would mean that the name of this file for when it moves on to the next comic would be [This invalid link has been removed]. But that gets a 404. I'm confused.

I don't know how to make it display.

I saw an interview with him the other day and he said that he would always use lots of wild hand gestures because he knew people would turn the volume down when his commercials came on.

You're missing a piece of the actual address. Use "copy image location", it gives you http://www.lostandfoundcomic.com/comics/20090629.jpg which will display thusly:

Been watching since noon. You know I'd buy that lawn colorant and the straps that help you pick up stuff.
