Re: R.I.P. Billy Mays
What a bummer. I've been watching his show "Pitchmen" on Discovery Channel. It seems like he was just getting his family life back together. New little girl and making a working relationship with his adult son making TV commercials with him. He regretted neglecting his first family and was intent on spending more time with his new family.
Goes to show, money isn't everything. Get your family straight fist, then focus on your dream career. You never know when it's your time to go.
I'll pray for his family.

Re: R.I.P. Billy Mays
At least he won't be making any more of those obnoxious commercials.
Aw, he's no fun, he fell right over.
Unless you become as little children, there's no way you will believe this crap.

I think it's pretty safe to expect many more deaths.
If you look around the table and can't tell who the sucker is, it's you.

Re: R.I.P. Billy Mays
All reports of MY death were highly exaggerated. Some might even say premature.
However, I intend to live forever. Unless I accidentally eat the Salmon Mousse on an airplane flight.
I'm not dead yet.

Actually, it's not the reports of your death that contained words like "exaggerated" and "premature".
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

Well, if it's a comfort, you will probably still see his spots for awhile.
