Billy Mays Is Dead!

NOOOOO!!!! What in the fuck is going on?! It has been confirmed that infomercial superstar Billy Mays has been taken away from us at the young age of 50. Billy was found by his wife at their home in Tampa, FL at around 7:45 this morning. No cause of death is known at this time, but an autopsy on Billy's body is scheduled for tomorrow. Foul play is not suspected. Billy was supposed to have his third hip replacement surgery tomorrow. Billy's wife issued this statement:

"Although Billy lived a public life, we don't anticipate making any public statements over the next couple of days. Our family asks that you respect our privacy during these difficult times."

Billy had just returned to Tampa from Philadelphia where he was filming an infomercial for OxiClean. Billy's plane had a little issues during landing. Billy Twittered yesterday: "Just had a close call landing in Tampa. The tires blew out upon landing. Stuck in the plane on the runway. You can always count on US Air."

As much as Billy's sawdust voice made my ears chaffey, I will still miss it and him! Nobody could yell at us while selling a household cleaning product quite like him. Let's all wish Billy a safe journey to the giant infomercial in the sky.... May he rest in peace.....

so I guess what some of us are learning is that life is finite and people die all the time.

A murder case?

This death is far more shocking and surprising than MJ's. Geez - MJ has been slowly dying for 2 decades - how could that have really been a surprise to anybody?

This may sound weird, but I'm actually MORE shocked by Billy Mays' death than MJ.

MJ looked like zombified Hell. Billy actually looked healthy.

So sad. This week sucks.

The first thing I thought of when I read he was due for surgery tomorrow was meds. Before surgery they normally take people off any blood thinners or anti-platlet meds, even aspirin. So if he was on one and they took him off, if he was at a high risk for blood clots he could have had a major heart attack or stroke. In the hospital I work at(as a nurse) they have to be off these meds for atleast a few days and I've seen it before where someone throws a blood clot because of it... Maybe it's a bit out there, but a theory.

June 2009 is definitely no a good month to be a celeb over the age of 50.

My husband is 50. He has been fretting all weekend about his age, so this is really pushing him over the edge. He is scheduling his physical tomorrow as soon as possible.

I am 52, so I say to him....grow a pair!

Man, summer can be quite deadly.
When MJ died, my friends and I only wondered who's next...didn't think it would happen this soon. Nor did I imagine it would be Billy Mays, may his loud voice and epic beard rest in peace.

I was just mentioning to someone how much I wanted a Big City Slider :*( Now I feel I must buy one in his honor.

I just recently watched "Pitchmen" for the first time and enjoyed it. This is sad. It reminds me of when Robert Palmer and John Ritter died, neither of them any age at all to be passing from this life.

This week has sucked skankified ass. Another 50 year old. Is anyone into horoscope hocus pocus voodoo shit? Is Venus in the house of death near the gates of hell or whatever?
***********************************

O man. Of COURSE I can't find this on the internet anywhere, and I'd have to go through too many pages in too many books cuz I have NO idea now where I read this last year BUT...apparently, there is some (Nordic? Not sure) tribe who watches the sky to make decisions. They watch cloud patterns, particularly, and last year some anthropologist who visits him claimed they were concerned about the quickening. Same patterns but they're speeding up. They say it's not a good sign. That is to say: it doesn't FEEL like a good sign. They don't know exactly what it means - it's not something in their past experiences for them to understand...

That's all I got.

Good grief! What is the deal? So many deaths. It sounds as if he may have died in his sleep. I hope so. Seemed like an okay fellow.

To top it all off, my doggy died the day before Ed McMahon :(
I was seriously thinking about turning the TV and computer off for like a month because I was so wore out from hearing all this shit, but I realized when I finally turned everything back on, I would just hear about how 10 other people had died.
I'm going to go dig a hole in the backyard and live there.

This is fucking absurd! He was just on Conan the other day!

Ed McMahon, Farrah, MJ, and now Billy?! Cronkite and Swayze are both reportedly close to death... if either if them dies this week, I will lose my goddamn mind!

As for sex with either of those two I would rather have sex with MJ's corpse.

Damn! Someone was just up in here two days ago asking: ShamWow guy or Billy Mays. This is some weird shit going on these days....

Ok. So I'll start it. Lindsay or Paris?
Hope for the best!
***********************************

For death or sex?

I'd prolly pick Paris for both - for sex only becuz she's cleaner. Slightly. And for death becuz it would have a greater impact on our well-being.

I am actually more interested in the results of the Billy Mays death investigation than MJ. We all know MJ was on drugs. With Billy Mays, was it the luggage hitting him on the head, painkiller abuse, or just a massive heart attack? You know, he also strikes me as someone who might use a little coke. Should be interesting.

Lost all respect for MJ after the sex allegations and after reading the Vanity Fair articles about it. I work in the criminal justice system and the cases had all the hallmarks of classic pedophile stuff.

For fucks sake, (as I sit here downloading "Off the Wall") do we have to endure 2 more celebs this week to meet the x 3 quota?

Actually I think Billy is number three in the Ed-Farrah-Billy series.

I think MJ was a "THREE FOR ONE" (as Billy himself might have shouted).

AND ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME LA PEQUENA WEIGHED IN ON ALL THE SADNESS?
